Precautions for use
In order to maximise the range and minimise interference, here is some advice on choosing the best location for the base station of the telephone.
- Place the base station high up in an easily accessible location without any obstacles between the handset and the base station.
- To avoid interference (crackling), the base station should be kept away from other electronic devices such as a TV, microwave oven, radio, computer, wireless device or other cordless phone.
- Do not place the base station in front of a radio frequency transmitter, e.g. the outdoor antenna of a mobile phone transmitter.
- To avoid interference, do not plug the base station into the same electrical circuit as a big household appliance. Whenever possible, plug the device or base station into a different power outlet.
If the reception quality of the handset is poor (poor sound quality, humming, etc), try moving the base station to another location in the house. Depending on where it is located or the structure of the building, the maximum range of the base station may decrease. The indoor range is normally less than the outdoor range. Read the end of this manual for more advice on improving reception quality.

getting started
Inserting and charging the batteries
- Slide the battery compartment cover by pushing it downwards.

- Insert the 2 rechargeable AAA batteries supplied, as shown in the diagram. Make sure that the positive and negative ends of the batteries are pointing in the right direction.

- Close the battery compartment.
- Place the handset on the base station and leave the batteries to charge for 15 hours before first use.
- On the phone screen, the battery icon shows that it is charging and the green telephone button lights up.
- A beep sounds to let you know that the handset is correctly placed on the base station or on the charger.
Note
Use only rechargeable batteries with the same specifications as those supplied with the product.
Using non-rechargeable batteries or batteries that do not comply with the recommended models (refer to the "Technical specifications" chapter) may damage your product and are hazardous for human health.
The batteries can crack or release a corrosive liquid if they are improperly inserted, opened or exposed to heat. Do not throw the batteries into a fire: risk of explosion.
Connecting the base station

- Connect the telephone cord and the power supply under the base station as shown.

- Connect the telephone plug to the telephone wall socket.

- Connect the power adapter to a 230V/50 Hz power outlet.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
If your telephone subscription is included in your broadband offer (ADSL/Fibre hub), then you must connect the plug of the base station to the telephone connector on the back of your box. To avoid crackling on the line, you must also connect a microfilter (not supplied) which you can request from your operator (or which was supplied with your hub).
If you still have a standard telephone socket (F-010 "T" shaped socket, directly connected to the switched telephone network) in addition to your VoIP, then each of your telephones must be connected to a microfilter and not only the one connected to the modem in order to avoid any interference. To obtain additional microfilters, contact your telephone operator.
Charger connections (for the Duo/Trio models)
Connect the power adapter of each adapter to a 230 V AC, 50Hz power outlet.

If, however, there is no dial tone on a handset or the network symbol no longer appears, then you must pair the handset with the base station again:
- Take the handset, which is charging, off the base station. You will find the pairing button at the bottom of the handset cradle.
- Press-and-hold the button for about five seconds. A long beep sounds and the blue LED on the base station flashes. The base station is in pairing mode.

Once the handset is paired with the base station, the base station automatically assigns a number (1 to 5) to it. This number is displayed on the right of the screen. It is used for internal calls. If the pairing fails, the icon no longer appears on the handset screen.
- Repeat the pairing process for each of the handsets (no more than 5) if needed.

How to fix problems of poor sound quality
Telephone connected to the broadband hub
If your telephone line is provided by a broadband contract that uses the telephone line (ADSL), you must connect DSL filters to EACH telephone outlet that is connected to a telephone. The ADSL signal can cause interference, noise, grinding noises, display problems on the screen and other problems on your handsets. DSL filters will block the high DSL frequencies that cause the problems. Your broadband network operator should be able to provide you with these filters (they are generally delivered with the hub)
Distance between the handset and charging cradle
Although you are free to move about with the cordless phone, if the sound quality decreases, move closer to the telephone cradle. The range may vary depending on environmental conditions, the structure
of the walls and the duration of use. For best reception, try installing the telephone cradle higher up. If you plan to use the phone in your garden, for example, place the telephone cradle near a window.
Interference from other electronic and electrical devices
Other electronic products (802.11 wireless WIFI routers, radios, radio masts, cell phones, intercoms, CCTV screens, televisions, personal computers, small household appliances and other cordless phones, e.g. your neighbour's cordless system on the other side of the wall) may cause interference with your cordless phone. Try to position your phone as far away from these types of devices as possible.
Interference from electrical outlets
If your phone shares a power outlet with a modem or is plugged into a voltage limiter, try plugging the phone into a separate outlet. If this does not resolve the problem, move the phone away from the modem or use different voltage limiters.
If the phone is plugged into an outlet that has not been used for a while, then the problem may be with the outlet (oxidation, damaged socket that causes crackles in the earpiece, etc). Plug the phone into a socket that you know is working properly.
Telephone line problem
The problem can also come from a telephone installation which is no longer compliant, poorly fitted, damaged, etc. Test your phone in another location, e.g. the house of your neighbour or a relative. If the device works fine in the other location, then ask your telephone service provider to check your line.
