WARNING
Do not place your D1110 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your D1110 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 D1110 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.
To wall mount your D1110 base, see “Wall mounting” on
page 27.
HANDSET RANGE
The D1110 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. During call, if the handset goes out of range
the handset will emit out out of range warning tone.
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 large base
Plug the power adapter with clear connector into the socket
marked
on the underside of the base and plug the other
end into the mains power wall socket and switch the power on.
Connecting the handset and charger
(Multi-pack only)
If you have purchased a multiple pack, this process will need to
be carried out for all handsets and chargers:
1.
Plug the power adapter with red connector into the socket
marked
on the underside of the charger.
2.
Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the
handset. Then slide the compartment cover into place.
3.
Place the handset on the charger to charge for at least 24
hours. When the handset is fully charged the
icon will
indicate that it is fully charged.
4.
When the handset is fully charged after 24 hours, plug the
telephone line cord from the large base into the telephone
wall socket.
IMPORTANT
Warning! Use only rechargeable batteries. If non-
rechargeable batteries are used
WRONG BATTERY
will be
displayed and charging will be stopped. Please
replace with rechargable batteries.
BATTERY LOW WARNING
If the
icon shows a red segment in the display, you will
need to recharge the handset before you can use it again.
During charging, the
icon will scroll in the display.
BATTERY PERFORMANCE
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 10
hours talk time or up to 100 hours standby time on a single
charge.
Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they
have been in normal use for several days.
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset
off the base for a few hours at a time.
Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help
them last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with
time as they wear out, giving the handset less talk/standby
time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent
charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and handset
may become warm during charging. This is normal.
