Safety precautions
Please observe the following safety precautions when setting up and using your ThermoDECT
telephone.
• Do not use your ThermoDECT phone in or near water. Using your telephone with wet hands,
while standing in water, or in wet conditions (such as in the rain) can damage the unit and cause
injury from electric shock.
• If the base unit falls into the water, do not attempt to retrieve it until you have unplugged the
power source. Pull the unit out by its cord. Never reach into the water to retrieve the unit.
• Never use your ThermoDECT telephone out-of-doors during a thunderstorm. Unplug the base
unit from the telephone line and power source when there are severe storms in your area.
Damage caused by lightening is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not attempt to open or modify your telephone.
SETTING UP YOUR TELEPHONE
Unpacking the telephone
When you unpack your ThermoDECT phone, make sure to keep all the packing materials in a safe
place, in case you need to later transport the phone or return it for servicing.
In the box, you will find:
• The ThermoDECT phone base unit
• The ThermoDECT phone cordless handset
• Two rechargeable batteries for the handset
• A 220-volt AC power cord
• A telephone line
• An attachable belt clip for the handset
• A remote temperature sensor
• Two regular batteries for the remote sensor
Remote unit set up
Up to 3 remote units can be used with this product to monitor outdoor temperature. The measurement unit
(°C or °F) and channel number (1, 2, or 3) switches are located in the battery compartment, and should be
set prior to installation.
Note: • Additional remote units sold separately. If you are using more than one remote unit, be sure
to select a different channel number for each unit.
• When you set a channel, don't forget to keep track of that sensor's location.
Installation
Mount the remote unit on a flat surface using the recess hole on the back of
the unit.
For best results:
• Before you insert the batteries, select the measurement unit and
channel number first.
• Place the unit out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the remote unit more than 20 – 30 meters (66 – 98 feet) from the main
(indoor) unit.
• Position the unit so that it faces the main (indoor) unit. Minimize obstructions such as doors, walls,
and furniture.
Note: • For initial sensor search bring the remote sensor to a distance no less than 10 meters (33 feet)
from the base.
• You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best reception after the sensor
search has been completed.
