Read First Before Use
Choosing a site for the base unit and charger pod
If you have a Broadband line
If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband connection, you will
need to insert a microlter between the telephone and the telephone line,
otherwise you may get interference between the telephone and the broadband,
which could cause problems.
In a home with broadband, every telephone must have a microlter connected,
not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is connected to. If you
need more broadband microlters, contact your broadband supplier.
The base unit and charger pod(s) should be placed on a level surface, in a
position where:
• the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible 230-V AC switched
mains supply socket - never try to lengthen the mains power cable
• the base unit's telephone line cable will reach your telephone line socket or
extension socket (the charger pod does not have a telephone line connection)
• it is not close to another telephone - this can cause radio interference
• it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere else where it might get
wet
• it is not close to other electrical equipment - fridges, washing machines,
microwave ovens, uorescent lights, televisions etc.
• it is away from hot, humid conditions and strong sunlight
Radio signals between handset and base unit
To use your handset and
link between them. Be aware that any large metal objects, like a refrigerator, a
mirror, ling cabinet, etc, between the handset and the base unit may block the
radio signal. Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the signal strength.
Interference
If the sound quality gets worse as you move around while on a call, this is
probably caused by interference between the handset and the base unit, perhaps
because you are too near to another phone or other electrical equipment. Move
to a different position to clear the interference. If you do not move, it might cause
a short break or your call may be cut off.
CAUTION: Use only the power supply that cam
supplies may damage the unit.
Base adaptor type is IW506E, 100-240Vac/6Vdc/500mA;
Charge adaptor is IW156E, 100-240Vac/6Vdc/150mA.
