Motorola d511 User Manual

Getting started

1. Getting started

WARNING
Do not place your D5 in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Location

You need to place your D5 base within 2 metres of the mains

power and telephone wall sockets so that the cables will

reach. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the

equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Make sure that it is at least 1 metre away from other

electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your D5 works by

sending radio signals between the handset and base. The

strength of the signal depends on where you place the base.

Placing it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
HANDSET RANGE
The unit has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there

is a clear line of sight between the base and handset. Any

obstruction between the base and handset will reduce the range

significantly. With the base indoors and the handset either

indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres.

Thick concrete and stone walls can severely affect the range.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The

icon on your handset indicates that you are within

range of the base. When out of range of the base, the

icon flashes. If you are on a call, you will hear a warning
beep.

The line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the

base. Move closer to the base. The handset will

automatically reconnect to the base.

Setting up

IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all

times. Do not connect the telephone line cord into the wall

socket until the handset is fully charged. Use only the power

adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
WHICH POWER ADAPTOR?
The power adaptor with a clear connecter is for the base unit

and the power adaptor with a red colour connecter is for the

charger unit (for multi-pack only).

Connecting the base

1. Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked

on the underside of the base.
