3.2 Handset & Base Connection
• When purchased, all handsets are already registered to the base unit and should link to it when they are
all powered up.
• To use your cordless handset and base unit together, you must be able to establish a radio link between
them. The signal between the handset and the base unit is in accordance with the normal standards for
a DECT phone: Maximum range up to 300 metres outdoors or 50 metres indoors. Be aware that:
>Large metal objects, such as refrigerators, mirrors or filing cabinets, between the handset and the base
unit may block the radio signal.
>Solid structures, such as walls, may reduce the signal strength.
>Electrical equipment may cause interference and/or affect the range.
• Do not place the base unit close to another telephone, TV or audio equipment - it may cause interference.
• Putting the base unit as high as possible ensures the best signal.
• Out of Range warning. If you hear a warning tone during a call, and/or the sound in the earpiece becomes
faint or distorted, you may be going out of range of the base unit. Move nearer to the base unit within
20 seconds; otherwise the line may be cut off.
