4.1 Connect the base station
Place the base station in a central
location near the telephone line
socket and electricity socket.
Connect the line cord and the
power cable to their
corresponding connectors at
the bottom of the base station
as shown.
Connect the other end of the
line cord to the telephone line
socket and the other end of the
power cable to the electricity
socket.
Note
The line adaptor may not be attached
to the line cord. In this case, you have
to connect the line adaptor to the line
cord first before plugging the line
cord to the line socket.
Warning
Avoid placing the base station too
close to large metal objects such as
filing cabinets, radiators or electrical
appliances. This can impair the range
and sound quality. Buildings with thick
internal and external walls may impair
transmission of signals to and from
the base.
Warning
The base station does not have an
ON/OFF switch. Power is applied
when the power adaptor is plugged
into the unit and connected to the
electricity socket. The only way to
power down the unit is to unplug the
power adaptor from the electricity
socket. Therefore, ensure that the
electricity socket is easily accessible.
The power adaptor and telephone
line cord have to be connected
correctly, as incorrect connection
could damage the unit.
Always use the telephone line cord
supplied with the unit. Otherwise,
you may not get a dial tone.
4.2 Install your phone
Before using the handset, the
batteries have to be installed and fully
charged.

4.2.2 Charge battery
Warning
The handset must be charged for at

first time.
When the battery level becomes low,
the low battery sensor alerts you by
sounding an audible tone and blinking
the battery icon.
If the battery level becomes
exceedingly low, the phone
automatically switches off and any
function in progress will not be saved.
Place the handset on the charging
cradle of the base station. A
melody is emitted if the handset is
placed correctly.
The battery icon on the
display blinks during charge.
The battery icon becomes
steady when the handset is fully
charged.
Note
Optimal battery life is reached after 3
cycles of complete charging (over 15
hours) and discharging, allowing
