Installing your DECT 221/225

1.Connect the output plug of the base adapter to the adapter socket on the back of the base unit, connect the base adapter to the wall AC supply. A beep indicates that the phone is properly plugged (DECT 225 only).

2.Connect the telephone line cord to the phone socket on the back of the base unit and to the wall phone socket.

Note: To use this phone, you need an RJ11C (CA11A) type modular telephone jack, which might look like the one pictured here, installed in your home. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local phone company to find out how to get one installed.

3.If you have bought a multi-pack product, each extra handset includes a charger and a charger adapter. Connect the output plug of the charger adapter to the adapter socket on the bottom of the charger.

Connect the charger adapter to the wall AC supply.

4.Place 2 rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries (included), in correct polarities, into the battery compartment on the handset. Note: the warranty shall not apply to the batteries and any other components within lifetime and wear.

5.Slide the battery door firmly into place.

6.Place the handset on the base unit or the charger and let the batteries continuously charge for 24 hours before using. A beep indicates that the handset is properly placed on the base unit or the charger. The handset may take some time to power up. It may get warm during the initial charge. This is normal.

Charging the handset

An empty battery icon indicates the batteries need recharging. toT recharge, place the handset on the base unit or the charger. A handset reaching a very low battery voltage level will go into sleep mode, displaying LOW BATT on the screen.

Get into the habit of putting the handset on the base unit or the charger to charge when it is not in use.This will ensure the handset is always fully charged.

Digital security system

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.There is a unique digital security code programmed in each unit.When the base and the handset is powered up the first time, the handset automatically registers with the base ready for normal use.

NOTE : If more than one handset is registered with the base, registration may take approximately one minute.
