Important – please read first • Only use the line cord, power supply and rechargeable batteries supplied with your phone. • Make sure that the power supply is connected to a known working socket. • Connect your phone to the power supply and allow the batteries to charge for 24 hours before connecting the line cord to your telephone socket.
Check box contents 3 Telephone line cord (pre-installed) Handset Base Mains power adaptor (item code 048611) 2x AAA Ni-MH 600mAh rechargeable batteries (already in handset) Contents for each additional handset (multipacks only) Handset Charger Mains power adaptor (item code 048610) 2x AAA Ni-MH 6000mAh rechargeable batteries (already in handset) IMPORTANT Only use the mains power adaptors, cables and rechargeable batteries supplied in this box or this product might not work.
Quick set-up guide Where to put your phone • Place the base within 3 metres of a mains power socket and 2 metres of a phone socket so the cables will reach. • Make sure it’s at least a metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. • Don’t place the phone or base in a bathroom or other humid area. • The product works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you position the base.
Quick set-up guide 2 Charge 1. Activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab away from the back of the handset. Rechargeable batteries already fitted Remove this tab and charge batteries for 24 hours before use. 2. Place the handset on the base to charge. 3. After 24 hours, plug the phone line cord into the phone wall socket. Talk/Standby time Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give up to 13 hours talk time or 16 hours standby on a single charge.
Quick set-up guide Battery performance • To keep the batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time. • Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible. • After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time for the batteries is approximately 6–8 hours. • The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will go down over time, which will reduce the talk and standby time.
