Read First Before Use
Choosing a
location for the
base unit and
charging pod The base unit and charging pod(s) should be placed on a
level surface and in a location where:
■ the mains adapter plug can easily reach the 230-V AC
mains supply socket - never try to lengthen the mains
power cable
■
the telephone cable of the base unit can reach the
telephone wall socket or extension socket (the charging
pod does not have a telephone line connection)
■ it is not close to another telephone - this can cause radio
interference
■ it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere else
where it might get wet
■
it is not close to other electrical equipment - fridge,
washing machine, microwave oven, fluorescent lights,
television, etc.
■
it is away from hot, humid conditions and strong sunlight
Radio signals
between the
handset and base
unit To use your handset and base unit, you must be able to
establish and maintain a radio link between them. Be aware
that any large metal objects, like a refrigerator, a mirror, filing
cabinet, etc, between the handset and the base unit may
block the radio signal. Other solid structures, like walls, may
also reduce the signal strength.
Connections and
conditions for use You can connect your iDECT C5i to a direct exchange line
(DEL)
—
a line connected to a local exchange, with its own
phone number; to an extension socket connected to a DEL;
or to an extension on an approved compatible PBX. Do not
connect the iDECT C5i as an extension to a payphone.
The ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) of all instruments
(phones, fax machines, etc.) connected to an exchange line
must not add up to more than 4
—
otherwise, one or more of
them may not ring and/or answer calls correctly. The iDECT
C5i has a REN of 1, and most other telephones have a REN
of 1 unless marked otherwise.
