1. Getting started
IMPORTANT
Do not place your Colombo in the bathroom or other humid areas.
1.1 Location
You need to place your Colombo 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 Colombo
works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of
the signal depends on where you position the base. Putting it as high as possible
ensures the best signal.
Handset range
The Colombo has a range of 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 signicantly. 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.
Bluetooth wireless range
Once your Colombo and mobile phone are paired (see page 9), by positioning the
Colombo base and mobile phone where the mobile signal is strongest you can
optimise the range. The mobile phone must be within 10m of the Colombo base.
If you go out of range when making a call on the Colombo, handset using the
mobile network, you will hear a double beep. If you don’t move back into range the
call will be disconnected and the icon will be replaced by the icon ashing
on the handset display, see below.
Signal strength
The icon on your handset indicates when you are in range. When out of range
of the base, the screen shows SEARCHING, the icon ashes and the handset
gives an out-of-range warning tone every minute. This tone is repeated until you
move back into range.
If you move out of range during a call, the telephone call will be disconnected.
Move back within range before you make any further calls. The handset will
automatically re-connect to the base.
1.2 Setting up the base
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times. Do not plug
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.

Connecting up the base

1.9 Battery performance
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give about 10 hours talk time or
100 hours standby time on a single charge1. 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. Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is
normal.
1All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on features selected and
usage pattern.
Battery low warning
If ashes in the display, you will need to recharge the handset before you can
use it again. During charging, will scroll on the display.
Getting started

Intelligent charging
Your Colombo supports Intelligent Charging, this means when the cordless
handset is fully charged, the base will automatically detect this and stop drawing
power from the mains to charge the handset, saving unnecessary
power usage.
IMPORTANT

750mA rechargeable batteries) supplied with your Colombo.
