Before you start
Electrical
safety
◆
DO NOT let the base unit get wet
. Electrical
equipment can cause serious injury if used while you are
wet or standing in water.
◆
If the base unit ever falls into
water
,
DO NOT
retrieve it
until you have unplugged the power lead from the
mains and the telephone line plug from the telephone
socket; then pull it out by the unplugged cables.
◆
NEVER
use your MD 1600 outdoors during a
thunder-
storm
— unplug the base unit from the telephone line
and the mains socket when there are storms in your
area. Damage caused by lightning is not covered by the
guarantee.
Interference
If the sound quality gets worse as you move around
while on a call, this is probably due to interference
between the handset and the base unit, perhaps
because you are too near to another phone or other
electrical equipment.
Move to a different position to
clear the interference
. If you do not move, your call
may be cut off.
Radio interference in the environment may occasionally
cause a short break in the link between the handset and
the base unit while you are on a call. The handset’s
display will flash briefly, while the unit automatically
changes to a different channel to restore the link.
Keeping the
batteries
charged
When you don’t need to carry your handsets around
(for example, at night), leave them on the base unit or
charger pod, to keep the batteries charged.
Whenever the battery charge level symbol on the
display shows ‘nearly empty’, replace the handset on
the base unit or charger pod.
