1. Getting started
IMPORTANT
Do not place your S12 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your S12 base within 2 metres of the mains power and telephone wall sockets so that the cables will reach. The
Make sure that it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your S12 works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you place the base. Placing it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
HANDSET RANGE
The unit has a range of 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 the handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick concrete and stone walls can severely affect the range.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The icon on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base. When out of range of the base, the
icon flashes. If you are on a call, you will hear a warning beep.
6
The line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the base. Move closer to the base. The handset will automatically reconnect to the base.
Setting up
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times. Do not connect the telephone line cord into the wall socket until the handset is fully charged. Use only the power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
Connecting the base

2.Plug the power adaptor into the socket marked on the underside of the base and plug the other end into the mains power wall socket. Switch on the mains power.
