• 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.

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 3 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.
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 16 hours talk time or
180 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. You can
remove the display message by
selecting Hide. If the battery
charge completely runs out,
the display will show Charge
Batteries!. You must recharge
the handset batteries before
you can use the handset. If the
charge completely runs out the
handset will switch off. Place
the handset on the base or
charger to charge.

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*.
