1. Getting started
WARNING
Do not place your D1000 in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
Location
You need to place your D1000 base within 2 metres of the
mains power socket and telephone socket so that the cables
will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference. Your D1000 works by
sending radio signals between the handset and base. The
strength of the signal depends on where you place the base.
Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
HANDSET RANGE
The D1000 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 handset
either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to
50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The
icon on your handset indicates when you are in
range. When out of range of the base, the screen shows
SEARCHING
and the
flashes.
If you are on a call, the line will hang up if the handset moves
out of range of the base. Move back within in range. The
handset will automatically re-connect 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. Only use the power
and telephone cables supplied with the product.
WHICH POWER ADAPTOR?
The power adaptor with a clear connector is for the base unit
and the power adaptor with a red colour connector is for the
charger unit.
Connecting up the base
Plug the mains power cable with the clear connector into the
socket marked
on the underside of the base and plug
