Getting started
I.
Location
1.
You need to place your Elegant base 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 Elegant 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.
WARNING
Do not place your Elegant in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
2.
The Elegant has a range of 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.
Signal strength
3.
The
icon on your handset indicates when you are in range. When out of
range of the base the
icon will flash and the out-of-range tone will sound
every minute. This tone is repeated until you move back into range.
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times. Do not
connect 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.
