WARNING
• Do not place your iHome Phone in the bathroom or other humid areas.
• Do not place your iHome Phone near sources of heat and extreme temperatures, such
as fluorescent lighting, microwave ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.
• Do not disassemble your iHome Phone; there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• If the LCD screen breaks, do not touch the glass or liquid. Contact customer support for
assistance.
• Use only the power adapter supplied with your iHome Phone.
5.1 Care and maintenance
• Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
• To remove fingerprints on the LCD screen, wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for LCD screens.
IMPORTANT
Always switch off and disconnect the power adapter before cleaning the iHome Phone.
5.2 Handset range
The iHome Phone has a range of 300 meters 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 meters. Thick stone walls can severely affect
the range.
5.3 Signal strength
The icon on your handset indicates when you are in range.
When out of range of the base, the signal strength will drop out. If you are on a call, the
line will hang up. Move back within range. The handset will automatically re-connect to
the base.

5.4 Battery low warning
If the following appears on the display, you will need to charge the handset.
5.4.1 Battery performance
Under ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give about 8 hours talk time or 60
hours standby time on a single charge.
Note that new batteries will 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.
Drain the batteries completely at least once a week before charging will help to prolong
battery life.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out,
giving the handset lesser talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time will be about 6
hours a day. Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
5.5 Attaching the stand to the DECT base station
Follow the steps below to attach the stand to the DECT base station.
1 Insert the stand into the locking grooves at the bottom of the DECT base station.
2 Twist the stand slightly until it is firmly secured to the DECT base station.
