Overview of your Phoenix DectGem
Introduction
Your Phoenix DectGem has been designed to send outgoing
calls over your service provider’s network. This service is
fully automatic and is initiated when your DectGem is first
powered up and plugged into the telephone network.
If you have any queries regarding this service, please contact
your DectGem supplier.
About the equipment
The equipment consists of a basestation and a handset. The
basestation is to be plugged into the mains power supply
using the supplied mains power adaptor. The handset is to be
fitted with the supplied rechargeable batteries.
Before using your DectGem for the first time, the batteries
must be fully charged in the basestation; this takes approxi-
mately 15 hours. Full instructions are provided in Preparing
the handset.

Power
Your DectGem needs mains power. Alternative arrange-
ments should be made for access to emergency services in
the event of a power failure.
To make and receive calls, the basestation must always be
powered on and the handset must remain charged.
A power failure does not affect the DectGem settings
(other than the clock), the phonebook entries, the Call list or
redial memory.
Personal Identity Numbers
Important functions and settings of your DectGem are
protected by Personal Identity Numbers (PIN).
The factory default setting for the basestation PIN is
1111
.
The factory default setting for the handset PIN is
0000
.
You may choose to change these numbers. Instructions are
provided later in this Guide.
You will always be prompted for the basestation PIN when
accessing basestation settings.
In the case of handset settings, you will only be prompted for
the handset PIN if you have changed it from the factory
default.
Remember your PIN numbers. Many of your DectGem’s
functions will be unavailable if you forget them.
Caution
The ring volume on the handset can be changed
or silenced by the user. Please note that there is
no ringer on the basestation. If the ring volume is
silenced, this phone will not ring.
