IMPROVING CORDLESS RECEPTION
Follow these guidelines to improve cordless sound quality:
•
•
•
•
•
Select an area to install the unit where it is closest to the center of your home or office.
This will improve the operating range of the unit.
•
•
•
•
•
Keep the base unit away from electrical equipment. Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI) is sometimes generated by these appliances, which can cause degradation in
cordless reception.
•
•
•
•
•
Keep the handset batteries charged as much as possible. Weak handset batteries can
limit the range of cordless operation.
MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
Repeated use or recharge of Ni-Cd batteries without periodic full discharge results in re-
duced useable charge time. When you notice the usable charge duration decreasing, fully
discharge the Ni-Cd battery and recharge as described:
DISCHARGING
1.
Unplug the telephone line cord from the unit.
2.
Make sure that the adapter is connected.
3.
Lift the handset out of the base cradle.
4.
Press the TALK button of the handset (IN USE LED indicator should light) and start
discharging.
Once the BATT LOW LED indicator starts flashing, it means that the battery level is low. Let
it fully discharge for 12 hours. Once the Ni-Cd battery is fully discharged, you may now
charge the battery to its full capacity.
CHARGING
1.
Make sure the adapter and telephone line cord is connected to the unit.
2.
Place the handset on the base cradle. The CHARGE LED indicator of the base unit will
light steadily.
3.
Leave the handset charging on the base for 14 hours continuously to get a maximum
charge.
4.
The unit is now ready for regular use. Discharge and charge the Ni-Cd battery again
once you notice a decrease in the useable charge time.
MAINTENANCE
1.
Your phone should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters,
stoves or any other appliance that produces heat.
2.
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the plastic cabinet. A mild soap will help to remove
grease or oil. Never use polish, solvents, abrasives or strong detergents since these
can damage the finish.
