• 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.
The default setting is four rings. If you want to change this, please see page 41.

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.

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

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

. You must recharge
the handset batteries before

the handset on the base or

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
