Where to install the DectGem
Please read the safety precautions given at the end of this
Guide.
Your DectGem is intended for use indoors.
Note:
Although the handset may be taken outside during dry
weather, the basestation must remain indoors at all
times.
Choose a location that is:
•
away from other electronic equipment (such as comput-
ers, televisions, video recorders)
•
away from heat sources (such as radiators, air ducts,
sunlight)
•
away from excessive moisture (such as a bathroom, near
a kitchen sink or by an open window),
•
away from extremely low temperatures, dust or shock
Location can affect signal range. In general, the higher the
basestation is located, the better the signal. For best outdoor
reception, install the basestation at window height in a room
near the outdoor area.
The indoor range is up to 30m, depending on the construc-
tion of the building; for example, use of steel or solid walls
or floors may limit the range. The outdoor range is up to
300m.
Installing the basestation
Connection sockets are located on the back of the basesta-
tion. The right-hand socket
is for mains power. The left-
hand socket
is for the telephone connection.
To connect the basestation:

to the power supply to the basestation.
If you have several handsets you may wish to allocate names
to each of them (such as KITCHEN) using the handset H/S
NAME programming facility. The standby display will then
show the name followed by the handset number, in the form:
