5GETTING STARTED

Location

You need to place your Slim base 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 unit 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 Slim has a range of 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. With the base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick concrete 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 screen shows SEARCHING 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.

Installation and Charger

1.Connect the mains adaptor (supplied) to the socket on the back of the base unit and to the wall mains supply.

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

3.Insert 2 rechargeable Ni-MH AAA batteries (included), observing the correct polarity, into the battery compartment on the handset. Slide the battery door firmly into place.

4.Place the handset on the charging cradle and charge the batteries for a full 14 hours before using it for the first time.
