PLEASE READ BEFORE USE AND SAVE.

Charge the battery for about 6 hours before initial use.

For Best Performance

Battery Charge

A rechargeable Ni-Cd battery powers

the handset. Charge the battery for about

6 hours before initial use (p. 15).

Clean the handset and the base unit

charge contacts with a soft, dry cloth

once a month. Clean more often if the unit

is subject to grease, dust or high

humidity. Otherwise the battery may not

charge properly.

Base Unit Location/Noise

Calls are transmitted between the base unit and the handset using

wireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free

operation, the recommended base unit location is:

Away from electrical appliances

such as a TV, personal computer,

cellular phone charging units or

another cordless phone.

In a HIGH and CENTRAL location

with no obstructions such as walls.

Raise the

antenna.

≥If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset is near another

cordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other

cordless phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.

greeting message is not recorded, one of two pre-recorded greetings will

be played when a call is received (p. 24).

All messages (greeting, incoming, etc.) are stored in digital memory

(p. 24). The total recording time is about 15 minutes.

We recommend you record a brief greeting message (see sample

the ﬁrst ring.

The unit can record information of up to 50 different callers, including

the time and date received and the number of times called, in the Caller

List. The Caller List information is sorted by the most recent to the oldest

call. When the 51st call is received, the ﬁrst call is deleted.

Using the list, you can automatically call back a caller. You can store

the callers’ numbers from the Caller List into the directory.

When a second call is received while talking, the new caller’s phone

number will be displayed (p. 62).

This prevents misdialling when you redial or dial a stored number.

≥Pressing (REDIAL/PAUSE) or (PAUSE) more than once increases the length of

the pause between numbers.

Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible

If you subscribe to Caller ID services, your

Safety Instructions

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

PRODUCT TO RAIN OR ANY TYPE OF MOISTURE.

Medical

Consult the manufacture of any personal medical device, such as

pacemakers, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external

RF (radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the frequency range of

917MHz to 927MHz for Australia and 923MHz to 927MHz for New

Zealand, and the power output level can range from 0.001 watts to

0.1 watts.) Do not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulations

posted in the area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care

facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF

(radio frequency) energy.

When a failure occurs which results in the internal parts becoming

accessible, disconnect AC adaptor immediately and return this unit to the

place of purchase or service centre.

If there is any trouble, disconnect the unit from the telephone line and

connect a known working phone. If the known working phone operates

properly, do not reconnect the unit to the telephone line until the trouble

has been repaired. If the known working phone does not operate properly,

consult with your telephone company.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with AS/NZS

3548:1995 limits for electromagnetic interference. Any modiﬁcations to

any part of the system or to any peripherals may void the EMC

compliance of the system or the peripherals.

WARNING:

This equipment will be inoperable if mains power fails.

WARNING:

The earcap on the handset is magnetised and may retain metallic objects.

UesulIfrmation

Important Information (For Australia only)

Instructions to customer

Installation

Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that

it is a “Permitted Attachment” which has been authorised to be connected

to your telephone service.

Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted

Attachment are contained in Telecommunications General By-Law

220 (5).

You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by

plugging it into the line socket of any regular telephone. You may connect

it in place of your existing telephone or to any spare telephone socket

installed in your premises.

To disconnect your existing telephone you must ﬁrst remove its plug from

the line socket. You can then insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment

into the socket and use your equipment.

If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will

have to remove the screw securing it. To do this proceed as follows:

1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)

2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)

3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into

the socket recess. (If the screw is too long, increase the hole depth or

replace the screw with one 5 mm shorter.)

4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

If you are satisﬁed with the operation of your telephone service after

plugging in your Permitted Attachment, your installation is completed.

You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone

service consists only of a wall phone or an old style telephone which is

not connected by means of a modern plug and socket. In such cases a

new socket will need to be installed.

Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket,

it is either faulty or unsuitable for operation with your telephone service. It

should be returned to the store where purchased.

Service difficulties

If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service carry out the

following checks before you call for service:

≥Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the

normal telephone.

≥If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your

Permitted Attachment. Leave the Permitted Attachment disconnected

and report the fault to its supplier or agent to arrange for repair.

≥If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to

“Service Difficulties and Faults” for attention.

You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order

while it is connected to your telephone service. Its construction or internal

circuit must not be modiﬁed in any way without permission.

WARNING

This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for

secrecy of conversations. Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other

cordless telephone systems in close proximity may be used by a third

party to monitor and possibly interrupt conversations in progress when

this system is on radio operation.
