It is possible that enabled DECT phones interfere with
sensitive medical equipment. When the phone is kept in
the vicinity of the medical device, interference can occur .
Do not place a DECT phone on or near a medical device,
not even when it is in standby mode.
13.8 Power supply handset:
• The display of the handset is provided with
a built-in battery capacity ( ). When the
battery symbol lit continuously , the battery
is fully charged; when the battery symbol is
ashes, the battery should be charged. While
charging, the symbol will keep scrolling until
the battery is fully charged.

evening on the base station or charger , for
optimal use. This does not have an adverse
effect on the rechargeable batteries.

power . In case of failure of the mains power , this
phone cannot be used. Therefore it is advisable to
keep a wired phone in reserve.
13.4 Placement:
Do not place the phone in the direct vicinity of other
phones or other electronic (medical) devices, TL
tubes and other gas discharge lamps; the emitted
radio waves of these (and other) wireless phone(s)
may disrupt the functioning of the equipment, or
the emitted signals of the equipment disrupt the
functioning of the phone.
13.5 Range:
The range of the phone is up to 300 meters in the
open field and up to 50 meters inside; the range
depends on local circumstances. When you get out of
range of the base, the antenna symbol will disappear
and the text [ SEARCHING ] starts flashing in the
display . In case the power supply adapter of the
base station is unplugged from the mains socket, the
handset will lose contact with the base station, the
display will display [SEARCHING], and the antenna
symbol will start flashing. The handset will restore
contact with the base station within several minutes
after the power supply adapter has been plugged in
again.
