Getting started
3.2.1
Install battery
Warning
Always use AAA rechargeable batteries
supplied with your unit. There could be
risk of battery leakage if you use alkaline
batteries or other battery types.
Slide out the battery cover.
Place the batteries in the correct
polarity as indicated and replace the
cover.
3.2.2
Charge battery
Warning
The handset must be charged for at least 24
hours before using it for the first time.
When the battery level becomes low, the
low battery sensor alerts you by sounding an
audible tone and blinking the battery icon.
If the battery level becomes exceedingly
low, the phone automatically switches off
shortly after the alert and any function in
progress will not be saved.
Place the handset on the charging cradle
of the base station. A beep is emitted if
the handset is placed correctly.
The battery icon
on the display
blinks during charge.
The battery icon
becomes
steady when the handset is fully
charged.
Note
Optimal battery life is reached after 3
cycles of complete charging (over 15
hours) and discharging, allowing
approximately 12 hours of talk-time and
150 hours of stand-by time.
The indoor and outdoor range of the phone
is up to 50 metres and 300 metres
respectively. When the handset moves
beyond the operation range, the antenna
icon
will blink.
Tip
When reaching the range limit and the
conversation becomes crackly, move
closer to the base.
3.3
Welcome mode
Before you first use your handset, you
need to configure it according to the
country of use. After charging it for a few
minutes, the word WELCOME appears in
various languages. Follow these steps to
configure your phone:
Note
Depending on your country, the
WELCOME screen may not appear. In this
case, you are not required to select your
country/operator/language settings.
You can still make outgoing calls or receive
incoming calls without first defining your
country selection.
