1. Getting started
IMPORTANT
Do not place your C5010A in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your C5010A base within 2 metres of the mains power
socket and 1.8 metres from the telephone wall socket so that the cables will
reach. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
Make sure that it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to
avoid interference. Your C5010A works by sending radio signals between the
handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you place
the base. Placing it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
HANDSET RANGE
The unit has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line
of sight between the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base
and handset will reduce the range significantly. With the base indoors and
the handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50
metres. Thick concrete and stone walls can severely affect the range.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The icon on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base.
When out of range of the base, the icon flashes. If you are on a call, you
will hear a warning beep.
The line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the base. Move
closer to the base. The handset will automatically reconnect to the base.
Setting up
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times. Do not
connect the telephone line cord into the wall socket until the handset is fully
charged. Use only the power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with
the product.
