exposure to radio waves (EMR). The mean power of this telephone  
does not exceed 20mW limit at which point testing is required.  
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using  
this telephone.  
The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal objects  
such as staples and pins. Care should be taken when placing  
the handset near these items.  
Important  
Avoid exposure of this telephone to moisture or liquid.  
To prevent electric shock, do not open the handset or base cabinet.  
Avoid metallic contact (e.g. metal clips, keys) between the  
battery contacts and charging conductors.  
This telephone is not designed for making emergency  
telephone calls when the mains power fails. Always have a  
corded phone available to be able to make and receive calls to  
emergency services if the mains power fails.  
Do not use your telephone during an electrical storm  
thunderstorm as it is possible to get an electric shock. Refer to  
information contained in White pages directory.  
This phone is designed for connection to a PSTN telephone line or an  
analogue extension port of a PBX system. If you connect this device  
to a digital extension of a PBX, damage may result to the PBX.  
There is a slight chance that the telephone could be damaged by  
an electrical storm. It is recommended that users unplug the phone  
from the mains supply and telephone socket during a storm.  
Do not use the handset in an explosive hazard area such as  
where there is gas leaking.  
Follow the local regulations regarding the disposal of your  
packing materials, exhausted batteries and used phone.  
Wherever possible, recycle those materials.  
This phone should not be used near intensive care medical  
equipment. Persons with pacemakers should consult their  
Doctor or cardiologist before using this phone.  
Clean with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents,  
particularly aggressive solvents.  
Because the phone works by sending radio signals between  
base station and handset, wearers of hearing aids may  
experience interference in the form of a humming noise.  
CAUTION  
Use only the mains adaptors supplied with this product. Incorrect adaptor  
polarity or voltage can seriously damage the unit.  
Adaptor for base unit and charger:  
Base Unit power supply – Input: 230-240VAC 50Hz 0.2A MAX  
Output: 7.5VDC 300mA  
Your phone can interfere with electrical equipment such as  
answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radios and  
computers if placed too close. It is recommended that you  
position the base unit at least one metre from such appliances.  
This adaptor has Clear plug with offset to connect it to the base unit.  
Ext Charger power supply – Input 230-240VAC 50Hz 0.2A MAX

flashes and the handset gives an out-of-range warning tone every  
minute. This tone is repeated until you move back into range.  
Location  
You need to place your Slim base within 2 metres of the mains  
power socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.  
Installation and Charger  
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances  
to avoid interference. Your unit works by sending radio signals between  
the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where  
you site the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.  
1. Connect the mains adaptor (supplied) to the socket on the  
back of the base unit and to the wall mains supply.  
2. Connect the telephone cord to the phone socket on the back of  
the base unit and into the wall phone socket.  
3. Insert 2 rechargeable Ni-MH AAA batteries (included),  
observing the correct polarity, into the battery compartment on  
the handset. Slide the battery door firmly into place.  
4. Place the handset on the charging cradle and charge the  
batteries for a full 14 hours before using it for the first time.  
Handset range  
The Slim 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. With the  
base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will  
normally be up to 50 metres. Thick concrete walls can severely  
affect the range.  
Select your Country  
After the phone is fully charged you will need to select your country.  
1. The phone will display Welcome.

The icon on your handset indicates when you are in range. When  
out of range of the base, the screen shows SEARCHING the icon

WARNING  
Battery low warning  
If the icon flashes in the display, you will need to recharge the  
handset before you can use it again. During charging, the icon in  
the display will scroll.  
DO NOT USE STANDARD/ALKALINE BATTERIES IN THIS PRODUCT, AS THERE  
IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION AND/OR INJURY. USE ONLY Ni-MH RECHARGEABLE  
BATTERIES AS SPECIFIED IN THIS USER GUIDE. CONTACT ORICOM FOR  
REPLACEMENT BATTERIES.  
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.  
Never use non-rechargeable batteries. Use recommended type supplied with  
this product.  
Battery performance  
Never use alkaline or lithium batteries.  
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire, as they can explode.  
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and  
can cause damage to the eyes or skin. It can be toxic if swallowed.  
Avoid contact with metal objects when handling the battery. These objects  
could short out the batteries or cause the conductor to overheat resulting  
in burns.  
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give about 10  
hours talk time or 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.  
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.  
Do not attempt to recharge the battery cell by heating it. Sudden release of  
battery electrolyte can cause burns or irritation to the eyes or skin.  
Observe the proper polarity, or direction, of any battery. Reverse insertion  
of the battery cell can result in leakage or explosion.  
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the product for several  
months at a time.  
Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is  
normal.  
Tip!  
It is good practice to put the cordless handset on the charging cradle when it is  
not in use to ensure that the handset is always fully charged.  
Follow the local regulations regarding the disposal of your packing  
materials, exhausted batteries and used phone. Wherever possible, recycle  
those materials.
