You need to place the base unit within 2 metres of the

mains power socket and telephone socket so that the

cables will reach. Make sure it is at least 1 metre away

from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. 

Your cordless phone works by sending radio signals

between the handset and base. The strength of the

signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it

as high as possible ensures the best signal.

The range is 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 handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will

normally be up to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can

severely affect the range.

The icon on your handset indicates when you are in 

range. When out of range of the base the icon flashes

and the handset gives an out-of range warning tone

every minute. This tone is repeated until you move 

back into range.
If you move out of range during a call, the telephone

call will be disconnected. Move back within range

before you make any further calls. The handset will

automatically re-connect to the base.

The base station must be plugged into the

mains power at all times. Do not plug the 

telephone line cord into the wall socket until

the handset is fully charged. Only use the

power and telephone cables supplied with  

the product.

!

If the 

icon flashes in the display, you will need to

recharge the handset before you can use it again.
During charging, the

 icon in the display will scroll.

In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give

about 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby time

from a single charge.
Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until

they have been in normal use for several days.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will

reduce with time as they wear out, giving the handset

less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be

replaced.
Batteries and handsets may become warm during

charging. This is normal.
