Conventions Used in this Manual / Getting started
6 Conventions Used
in this Manual
This manual uses the following
conventions.
•Bold text
Bold text is used for messages and
instructions that are shown on the
handset or base display screen.
Handset and Base Station Keys
Except where indicated otherwise, basic
operation is the same for both the
handset and base station of this product.
However, for some functions the keys
used on the handset and base station
have different shapes or different
lettering.
The procedures in this manual use the
handset key icons. This table shows the
corresponding keys for the base station.
Refer to it when needed.
These keys are used to access the main
menu and utilize functions such as redial
and caller ID.
For details, see 5.2 and 5.4.
•Terminology
When a procedure applies equally to the
handset and the base station, the word
“unit” is used to indicate both.
•Scrolling
“Scroll n” means to use the u and
d keys on the handset or the u
and d keys on the base station to
scroll through a menu or list on the
display screen.
Note: See Section 5 for detailed
descriptions of the functions and use of
the keys of the handset and base station.

7.1 Connect the base station
1 Place the base station in a central
location near the telephone line
socket and electricity socket.

connectors at the back of the base
station.
3 Connect the other end of the line
cord and power cable to their
respective sockets.
The line adaptor may not be attached to
the line cord. In this case, you have to
connect the line adaptor to the line cord
first before plugging the line cord to the
line socket.
Avoid placing the base station too close
to large metal objects such as filing
cabinets, radiators or electrical
appliances. This can impair the range and
sound quality. Buildings with thick
internal and external walls may impair
transmission of signals to and from the
base.
Power is applied when the power
adaptor is plugged into the unit and
connected to the electricity socket. The
only way to power down the unit is to
unplug the power adaptor from the
electricity socket. Therefore, ensure that
the electricity socket is easily accessible.
The power adaptor and telephone line
cord have to be connected correctly, as
incorrect connection could damage the
unit. Always use the telephone line cord
supplied with the unit. Otherwise, you
may not get a dial tone.
7.2 Wall mounting the base
The base is designed to support wall
mounting. To wall mount the base, follow
the instructions below.
1 Attach the bracket to the base
station as shown below.
Note

Getting started
2 Use the pedestal wall mounting to
plug your base station.
7.3 Install your phone
Before using the handset, the batteries
have to be installed and fully charged.
When the batteries are inserted for the
first time, the unit will not be able to
start normally due to the low battery.
You must charge the batteries on the
base station before you can use the
handset.
7.3.1 Install battery
Always use AAA rechargeable batteries
supplied with your unit. If alkaline
batteries are used instead of
rechargeable batteries, “Warning
Batt” will show on the display and the
battery icon will blink quickly.
1 Slide out the battery cover.
2 Place the batteries in the correct
polarity as indicated and replace the
cover.
7.3.2 Charge battery
The handset must be charged for at least
24 hours before using it for the first time.
When the battery level becomes low, the
low battery sensor warns you by blinking
the battery icon. If this occurs during a
conversation, an alert tone sounds to
inform you that the battery is low. If the
battery level becomes exceedingly low,
the phone automatically switches off
shortly after the icon starts blinking and
any function in progress will not be
saved.

approximately 12 hours of talk-time and
150 hours of stand-by time.
The indoor and outdoor range of the
phone is up to 50 metres and 300 metres
respectively. When the handset moves
beyond the operation range, the antenna
icon will blink.

7.4 Remove/Attach belt clip
A belt clip allows you to carry your
handset on your belt.
1 To remove the belt clip, simply pull
the clip away from the handset.
2 To attach the belt clip to your
handset, fit the tabs on the belt clip
into the slots at the back of the
handset and push into place.
7.5 Install optional headset
Your phone may be used with an optional
headset (not included in the box). To use
this feature, insert the headset plug into
the headset jack. Your phone is ready for
hands-free conversations.
