2. Getting to know your phone

Overview of your handset

BATTERY PERFORMANCE

In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 6.5 hours talk time or up to 135 hours 
standby time on a single charge.

1

Note that new batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been put to normal use for 
several days.
To keep your 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.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, giving the 
handset less talk / standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.

After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. 
Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.

1

All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on features selected and usage 

pattern.

Date and time

If you have subscribed to a Caller ID Service, the date and time is set automatically for all handsets 
when you receive your first call.
If you do not have a Caller ID service, you can set the date and time manually, see section “7. 
Clock & Alarm”.

Your C1LB+ is now ready for use.

Installing and charging the handset

1.  Remove the battery cover from the back of the handset and insert the rechargeable Ni-MH 

battery cells supplied. Please note the ’+’ and ’-’ markings inside the battery compartment 
and insert in the correct direction.

2.  Slide the battery cover back into place.
3.  If you are charging the batteries for the first time, place the handset on the base to charge for 

at least 24 hours continuously.

4.  When the handset is fully charged, 

 icon will appear steady on the display. Plug the other 

end of the telephone line cord (make sure that one end is already plugged into the base) into 
the telephone wall socket.

Connecting the handset and charger 
(for multi-pack only)

If you have purchased a multiple pack, you will need to carry out this process for all the handsets 
and chargers.

1.  Plug the power adaptor into the socket marked   on the underside of the charger and plug 

the other end into the mains power wall socket.

2.  Remove the battery cover from the back of the handset and insert the 2 x AAA NiMH 

rechargeable batteries supplied. Please note the ’+’ and ’-’ markings inside the battery 
compartment and insert in the correct direction.

3.  Slide the battery cover back into place.
If you are charging the batteries for the first time, place the handset on the charger to charge for 
at least 24 hours continuously.
4.  When the handset is fully charged, 

 icon will appear steady on the display. The display will 

show 

HANDSET

 and handset number (e.g. 2) to indicate that it is registered to the base.

IMPORTANT

Warning! Use only the approved rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells (2 x AAA Ni-MH 300mA 
rechargeable batteries) supplied with your C1LB+.
Please do not use alkaline or non rechargeable batteries. It may cause permanent damage to 
the product and void the warranty.

BATTERY LOW WARNING

If    icon flashes on the display and you hear a warning beep every minute during a call, you 
will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again.
When charging, 

 icon will scroll on the display. Once fully charged scrolling will stop.

1. Getting started

IMPORTANT

Do not place your C1LB+ in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Location

You need to place your C1LB+ base within 1.5 metres of the mains power and telephone wall 
socket so that the cables will reach. The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and 
should be easily accessible.
Make sure that it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. 
Your C1LB+ works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the 
signal depends on where you place the base. Placing it as high as possible ensures the best 
signal.

HANDSET RANGE

The unit 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 the handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will 
normally be up to 50 metres. Thick concrete and stone walls can severely affect the range.

SIGNAL STRENGTH

The   icon on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base. When out of range 
of the base, the   icon flashes. If you are on a call, you will hear a warning beep.
The line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the base. Move closer to the base. The 
handset will automatically reconnect to the base.

Setting up

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. Use only the power 
adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the product.

Connecting the base

1.  Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked   on the underside of the base.
2.  Plug the power adaptor into the socket marked   on the underside of the base and plug the 

other end into the mains power wall socket. Switch on the mains power.
