Placement

Place the base on an even, horizontal surface. The phone should not be placed in damp, dusty or polluted surroundings and should not be directly exposed to liquids or sunlight. Avoid the charging contacts touching metal or greasy parts.

The phone is designed for use in dry, domestic environments only, with

temperatures of 045C and relative humidity of 1595%.

Clean your phone using a soft, damp cloth with a few drops of mild

detergent added.

Connection

To be able to use your phone, you must connect it to your telephone line and to the mains as shown. If the mains adaptor is not plugged in, or if the power supply is cut off, your phone will not function. Make alternative arrangements for access to emergency services.

Connect and use a headset

Connect a headset to the socket on the handset. You can then answer incoming calls by pressing any button with the exception of the C button on the handset keypad. Place a call as described on page 10.

Charge the handset battery

When the handset is placed in the base, the battery is charged if necessary. For safety reasons, the battery is not charged when packed, so you must charge the battery for at least 20 minutes before using the phone.

About charging The base must be connected to the mains.

It takes four hours to fully charge the battery.

Talk-time per charge is approximately 12 hours.

Standby time per charge is approximately 150 hours.

Set the time and date

After you connect the base to the mains and the telephone line, the display prompts you to set the time and date. The time is shown when the phone is not in use and when there is no new information in the display. Time and date are also shown with call information in the Calls list.

necessary to replace the battery,

retailer.
