Move closer to the base station. The indoor range is up to 50 metres and outdoor up to 300 metres. Avoid large metal objects or thick walls that may interfere.

3 Getting started

3.1 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 and the power cable to their corresponding connectors at the back of the base station. ![](images/7d838d44586ac89bb05eaf320b7a60de2dc9c68c16c79318b6d7e0b4d62773d1.jpg)
natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with no visible text or symbols
3 Connect the other end of the line cord and power cable to their respective sockets. ![](images/c14dbb5bc658c4063ed61bc6eb9b9803709fced19258958d499c7d7db9dd3680.jpg)

Note

The line adaptor may not be attached to the line cord. In this case, you have to connect the line adaptor to the line cord first before plugging the line cord to the line socket.

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 have to be connected correctly, as incorrect connection could damage the unit. Always use the telephone line cord supplied with the unit. Otherwise, you may not get a dial tone.

3.2 Wall mounting the base

The base is designed to support wall mounting. To wall mount the base, follow the instructions below. 1 Remove the bracket from the back of the base station by ① pressing the two latches on the inside of the bracket and ② rotating the bracket outward. ![](images/a5f39a2ea56905f3a0639f9e66f2c0c2445ba14132db146ce1234894e368da22.jpg) 2 Turn the bracket around. ![](images/a37876dc6dec419b04d7c8f81d2160e7b1e1c0269c82db03e8d40923612e2e0a.jpg)

3.3 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.

3.3.1 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. ![](images/e1c5c2455dd5de5fd4ac8f9ab388c9a41b99f54e9e148cfcf0c2e68305b18185.jpg)

![](images/937c8b65315f2d127281f58ee18d3a98d0ef113ed5fd4c7358badeee8bbbd264.jpg)

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. ![](images/76fff9c8d2ba2b1e64c0804f7ee3e127c7286f092deb147f508c7ea30e5ef676.jpg)

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. ![](images/53960edaf8b45f09da3b70a9ab301b3b54d67aaa8a5fd99ba68741deb3c4328f.jpg)

Tip
