INSTALLING YOUR PHONE
Connecting the base station
1) Plug the AC Adaptor and line cord
into
the base station.
2) Plug the AC Adaptor into a mains socket, and
the line cord into your telephone line socket.
3) Always use the cables provided in the box.
Warning:
Use only the AC Adaptor with this
product. Using any other AC Adaptor may cause a hazard and cause
the product not to work correctly.
Install the base unit in a position where the AC Adaptor will reach
an easily accessible mains socket. Never try to lengthen the AC
Adaptor cable.
NOTE
The base unit needs mains power for normal operation, not just for charging the handset
batteries.
Installing and charging the battery pack
1) Place the supplied battery pack into the
battery Compartment with the connector
fully inserted as shown Use only the NiMH
rechargeable battery pack provided.
2) Position the battery compartment cover over
the batteries and slide up to click into place.
3) Put the handset on the base and charge for 15 hours before
using the handset for the first time. The handset will give a beep
when it i s properly placed on the base or charger.
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give about 10
hours talk time or 100 hours standby time on a single charge. Note
that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
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.
Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is
normal.
If you have a Broadband line
If you connect your telephone to a line
with a broadband connection, you must
connect an in line filter (not supplied)
between the telephone socket and
your phone base to ensure that your
broadband and Slim will work properly.
If you do not install the filter you will experience interference on the
cordless phone and your Broadband may suffer dropouts. Please
refer to the user guide of the in line filter for installation.
In a home with broadband, every telephone, fax or answering
system must have a in-line filter connected, not just the one at the
telephone point that your modem is connected to.
Additional in-line filters can purchase from electronic stores.
Tip!
It is good practice to put the cordless handset on the charging
cradle when it is not in use to ensure that the handset is always
fully charged.
