1. Getting started
IMPORTANT
Do not place the phone in the bathroom or other humid areas.
1.1 Location
Place the base within 1.5 metres of the mains power and telephone wall sockets so
that the cables will reach.
Make sure that it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid
interference. The phone works by sending radio signals between the handset and
base. The strength of the signal depends on where the base is placed. Placing it as
high as possible ensures the best signal.
1.2 Handset range
The unit 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 signicantly. With the base indoors and the handset either indoors
or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick concrete walls can
severely affect the range.
1.3 Signal strength
The icon on the handset indicates that it is within range of the base. When out
of range of the base, the
icon ashes. When on a call, a warning beep will be
heard.
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.
1.4 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 adapter and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
