Getting started

Location

You need to place the base unit within 2 metres of the mains power socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach. Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your cordless phone works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.

Handset range

The range is up to 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base and handset will reduce the range significantly. With the base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.

Signal strength

The icon on your handset indicates when you are in range. When out of range of the base the icon flashes and the handset gives an out-of range warning tone every minute. This tone is repeated until you move back into range.

If you move out of range during a call, the telephone call will be disconnected. Move back within range before you make any further calls. The handset will automatically re-connect to the base.

IMPORTANT

!The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times. Do not plug the telephone line cord into the wall socket until the handset is fully charged. Only use the power and telephone cables supplied with the product.

Battery low warning

If the icon flashes in the display, you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again.

During charging, theicon in the display will scroll.

Battery performance

In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give about 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby time from a single charge.

Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, giving the handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.

Batteries and handsets may become warm during charging. This is normal.
