• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.
• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from your line.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

2.7.2 Rights of the Phone Company

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that

temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must:

(1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

2.8 Interference Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

6 Conventions Used in this Manual

This manual uses the following conventions.

- Bold text

Bold text is used for messages and instructions that are shown on the handset or base display screen.

- Handset and Base Station Keys

Except where indicated otherwise, basic operation is the same for both the handset and base station of this product. However, for some functions the keys

used on the handset and base station have different shapes or different lettering.

The procedures in this manual use the handset key icons. This table shows the corresponding keys for the base station. Refer to it when needed.

Key on Handset	Key on Base Station
call ID	call ID
Ph.Book	Ph.Book
	Left — key
	Right — key
int hold intercom
format format

These keys are used to access the main menu and utilize functions such as redial and caller ID.

For details, see 5.2 and 5.4.

- Terminology When a procedure applies equally to the handset and the base station, the word "unit" is used to indicate both.

- Scrolling

“Scroll ⬆” means to use the call ID and Ph.Book keys on the handset or the call ID and Ph.Book keys on the base station to scroll through a menu or list on the display screen.

Note: See Section 5 for detailed descriptions of the functions and use of the keys of the handset and base station.

7 Getting started

7.1 Connect the base station

1 Place the base station in a central location near the telephone line socket and electricity socket.

2 Connect the line cord(s) and the power cable to their corresponding connectors at the back of the base station.

Note

For 2 line subscriptions, connect the 4-pin telephone line cord (the black cord) to the black TEL LINE 1/2 phone jack and to the telephone wall jack for line 1.

Connect the second telephone line cord (the gray cord) to the gray TEL LINE 2 phone jack and to the telephone wall jack for line 2.

If the two phone lines are on one modular wall jack, connect only the 4-pin telephone line cord (the black cord) to the black TEL LINE 1/2 phone jack and to the telephone wall jack. (Do not connect anything to the gray TEL LINE 2 phone jack.)

3 Connect the other end of each of the line cords to its socket.

4 Connect the power cable to the power outlet.

Note

Line adaptors may not be attached to the line cords. In this case, you have to connect line adaptors to the line cords first before plugging the line cords into the line sockets.

Warning

Avoid placing the base station too close to large metal objects such as filing cabinets, radiators or electrical appliances. This can impair the range and sound quality. Buildings with thick internal and external walls may impair transmission of signals to and from the base.

Warning

Power is applied when the power adaptor is plugged into the unit and connected to the electricity socket. The only way to power down the unit is to unplug the power adaptor from the electricity socket. Therefore, ensure that the electricity socket is easily accessible.

The power adaptor and telephone line cord(s) have to be connected correctly, as incorrect connection could damage the unit. Always use the telephone line cord(s) supplied with the unit.

Otherwise, you may not get a dial tone.

7.2 Wall mounting the base

The base is designed to support wall mounting. To wall mount the base, follow the instructions below.

1 Attach the bracket to the base station as shown below.

7.3 Install your phone

Before using the handset, the batteries have to be installed and fully charged.

Warning

When the batteries are inserted for the first time, the unit will not be able to start normally due to the low battery. You must charge the batteries on the base station before you can use the handset.

7.3.1 Install battery

Warning

Always use AAA rechargeable batteries supplied with your unit. If alkaline batteries are used instead of rechargeable batteries, "Warning

Batt" will show on the display and the battery icon will blink quickly.

1 Slide out the battery cover.

2 Place the batteries in the correct polarity as indicated and replace the cover.

7.3.2 Charge battery

Warning

The handset must be charged for at least 24 hours before using it for the first time. When the battery level becomes low, the low battery sensor warns you by blinking the battery icon. If this occurs during a conversation, an alert tone sounds to inform you that the battery is low. If the battery level becomes exceedingly low, the phone automatically switches off shortly after the icon starts blinking and any function in progress will not be saved.

1 Place the handset on the charging cradle of the base station. A beep is emitted if the handset is placed correctly.

2 The battery icon on the display blinks during charge.

3 The battery icon becomes steady when the handset is fully charged.

Note

Optimal battery life is reached after 3 cycles of complete charging (over 15

hours) and discharging, allowing approximately 12 hours of talk-time and 150 hours of stand-by time.

The indoor and outdoor range of the phone is up to 50 metres and 300 metres respectively. When the handset moves beyond the operation range, the antenna icon will blink.

Tip

When you reach the range limit the conversation may become crackly. Move closer to the base.

7.4 Remove/Attach belt clip

A belt clip allows you to carry your handset on your belt.

1 To remove the belt clip, simply pull the clip away from the handset.
2 To attach the belt clip to your handset, fit the tabs on the belt clip into the slots at the back of the handset and push into place.

The handset warms up when making a long call and when it is on the base station!

- This is a normal behavior. The handset consumes energy while calling and charging.

The handset cannot be registered to the base station!

• Maximum number of handsets (8) has been reached. To register a new handset, unregister an existing handset.
- Remove and replace the handset batteries.
- Try again by disconnecting and connecting the base station power supply and follow the procedure to register a handset (see section 13.6).

Caller number is not displayed!

- Service is not activated: Check your subscription with your network operator.

I cannot change the settings of my voice mail!

- Operator voice mail is managed by your operator and not the phone itself. Please contact your operator should you want to change the settings.

My handset keeps going into idle mode!

- If there are no key presses for 30 seconds, the handset will automatically return to idle mode. It will also return to idle mode automatically when you place the handset back on the base station (if auto hang-up feature is on).

Phonebook entry cannot be stored and Memory Full is displayed!

- Delete an entry to free memory before saving your contact again.

The PIN code is wrong!

• The default PIN is 0000.
• Reset the handset to revert to the default PIN code if it has been changed before (see “Reset Unit” - Section 13.8).

The answering machine does not record calls.

• Make sure the answering machine is connected to the power adaptor, and

the power adaptor is plugged into mains supply which is switched on.

• Check if the answer machine is off, or Answer only mode is selected.
• Check to see if the answering machine is memory full. If so, delete some or all messages.
• Try switching off the power at the mains socket, and then turn it on again after 1 minute.

Unable to perform remote operation

• Make sure the remote access is on (see Section 15.6.2).
• Make sure you entered the correct remote access code.
• Use a touch-tone phone.

Note

If the above solutions do not help, remove the power from both the handset and the base. Wait for 1 minute and try again.
