  • 1 AC power adaptor for the base unit

Important: Use only the power adaptors, telephone line cord and batteries supplied with your PowerTel 2780, otherwise your phone may not work.

Set up your phone system

Location

Place the base unit near a mains socket and a telephone wall jack to ensure that the connection cables are long enough. Keep the unit approx. 1 m away from other electronic devices to prevent interference. The base unit uses radio signals to connect with the cordless handset. Signal strength depends on the base unit's location. The maximum range is 300 m based on an unobstructed line of sight; the range is shorter inside buildings because of walls and other obstacles.

Connect the base unit

1. Plug the connector on the cable end into the corresponding jack on the underside of the base and plug the power adaptor into the wall socket.
2. Plug the small connector on the end of the telephone line cord into the corresponding jack on the base and plug the other end into the telephone jack.

Note: Guide the connection cables through the strain-relief tabs on the base so the unit sits flush with the desk.

For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet (power adaptor) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Important: Use only the power adaptors, telephone line cord and batteries supplied with your PowerTel 2780, otherwise your phone may not work.

Do not block access to the wall power supply with furniture or other items.

Connect the cordless handset

1. Open the battery compartment and insert the batteries. Pay attention to the correct polarity.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover towards the centre of the handset until it clicks into place.

For a full charge, the handset must be left in the base unit for at least 16 hours (check the base unit's power supply!).

Important: Use only the battery supplied with this product. If the battery needs to be replaced later on the same battery type must be used.
