Charging the batteries

Your handset needs battery to operate. During the first use of your phone, it is recommended that the handset is left over on charge overnight to ensure maximum in-use time.

1.Only use the rechargeable batteries supplied with your phone.

2.Install the rechargeable batteries into the rear of your handset. MAKE SURE you insert the batteries in correct polarity.

3.Position the battery cover over the rear of the handset and slide into place.

4.Place the handset on the base unit to charge.

5.The red LED CHARGE light on the base unit indicating that the handset is charging, but it will not go out even if the battery if full - it will light up whenever the handset is on the

base cradle.

NOTE : 1) If the charge LED on the base do not light up, reposition the handset in the base unit ensuring the charging points contact. 2) Regular cleaning is necessary for base and handset charge contacts with clean dry cloth to maintain conductivity of the contacts.

Electrical Safety

1.DO NOT install the base unit near a sink, bath or shower or anywhere else where it could get wet. Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used while you are wet or standing on water.

2.If the base unit ever falls into water, DO NOT retrieve it until you have unplugged the AC mains power adaptor and the telephone line plug from the telephone wall socket.

3.DO NOT allow the handset to come in contact with water.

4.DO NOT open the handset or the base.

5.DO NOT allow the charging contacts or the battery to come in contact with electrical conductive materials such as metals, rings, paper clip, key, etc.

6.MAKE SURE you insert the batteries in correct polarity.

7.NEVER USE your DECT phone in the open air during a thunderstorm - unplug the base unit from the telephone line and the AC mains socket where there are storms in your area. Damage caused by lighting may likely happen.

8.If your DECT phone is not to be used for long period of time, disconnect the main AC power adaptor from the AC power socket and the telephone line from the telephone wall socket.

Emergency calls

Your DECT phone need mains power. So you cannot use for placing a call during AC power failure.

Thus, a basic phone that do not need AC mains power is needed to place an emergency call during power failure.
