Setting up

Base and handset

Your handset is already registered to the base.

1Plan the location

Situate your base close enough to the telephone and mains power sockets so that the cables will reach.

The only way to disconnect the product from the power supply is to remove the power adaptor from the mains power socket. Therefore you must ensure you plan the location so that the mains power is easily accessed.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical products to avoid interference.

Do not situate the product in the bathroom or other humid areas.

2Connect the power supply and switch on.

Important

You must thread the power supply cable and line cord through the plinth before you connect into the sockets on the base.

Plug the power supply cable into the socket on the underside of your base. The power cable connector and socket are coloured red.

WARNING

Please take care that the power supply and telephone line cord are connected to the correct sockets as incorrect placement could damage your equipment.

Once connected, put the plinth back on the base to prevent it from rocking on the table.

There are two positions for the plinth when joining it to the base, both can be used for desk mounting and one for wall mounting. Position
