• Only use the line cord, power supply and rechargeable batteries supplied with

your phone.

• Make sure that the power supply is connected to a known working socket.

• Connect your phone to the power supply and allow the batteries to charge for

24 hours before connecting the line cord to your telephone socket.

• To make sure you get the best range and reception from your handset, avoid

interference by placing the base unit away from large metal objects such as

fridge freezers and microwave ovens or electronic products such as computers

and TVs.

Answer machine – handy hint

Make sure the telephone is set to Answer and record and that the Ring delay

is set to answer before any voicemail service i.e. BT Answer 1571, or similar.

Where to put your phone

• Place the base within

3 metres of a mains power

socket and 1.8 metres of a

phone socket so the cables

will reach.

• Make sure it’s at least a

metre away from other

electrical appliances to

avoid interference.

• Don’t place the phone or

base in a bathroom or

other humid area.

• The product works by

sending radio signals

between the handset and

base. The strength of the

signal depends on where you

position the base. Putting it

as high as possible can help

give you the best signal.

IMPORTANT

• Don’t connect the phone line

to a phone socket until the

handset is fully charged.

• The base station should

be plugged into the mains

power socket all the time.

1. Plug the mains

power adaptor into

the base, with the

cable clipped in the

groove provided.

2. Plug the other end

of the power adaptor

into the wall power

socket and switch on.

1 Plug in

The phone line cord is pre-installed but don’t

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, the

handset batteries should give

up to 12 hours talk time or

240 hours standby on a single

charge. (This doesn’t mean you

can unplug the base or leave

the handset for this length of

time without charge).

Please note that new Ni-MH

rechargeable batteries don’t

reach full capacity until

they’ve been in normal use

for several days.

Battery low warning

The icon will ﬂash, you’ll

see the message

Battery

Low

in the display and hear a

warning beep every minute,

to indicate that you need to

recharge your handset before

you can use it.

You can remove the display

message by selecting Hide. If

the battery charge completely

runs out, the display will show

Batteries

Please

. You must recharge

the handset batteries before

charge completely runs out the

handset will switch off. Place

the handset on the base or

charger to charge.

Quick set-up guide6

Battery performance

• To keep the batteries in the

best condition, leave the

handset off the base for a

few hours at a time.

• Running the batteries right

down at least once a week

will help them last as long

as possible.

• After charging your handset

for the ﬁrst time, subsequent

charging time for the

batteries is approximately

8 hours.

• The charge capacity of

rechargeable batteries will

go down over time, which

will reduce the talk and

standby time. Eventually

they’ll need replacing.

For details on how to get

replacement batteries,

call the helpline on

0800 145 6789*.

3. Once set-up is complete your handset will display
