When you purchase a telephone, all handsets are already registered to the base, so you do not need to register them. Handset registration is only necessary when you buy extra handsets or if a handset has become faulty.

If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestions listed below.
As a general rule, if a problem occurs, remove the batteries from all the handsets in your installation for about 1 minute, then disconnect and reconnect the power supply to the base and reinstall the handset batteries.
Always check first that: | You have followed all the steps listed in the user manual to install and set up your telephone. All connectors are firmly inserted in their sockets. Mains power to the base unit is switched on at the socket. The handset's batteries are correctly and securely installed and are not run down. |
Everyday use "I cannot make or answer calls" | If the handset's display is blank, it may have been switched off. Press and hold the HANG-UP/EXIT key to switch it back on. Check that the base unit's mains power adapter is plugged in and power is switched on. The base unit needs mains power for normal operation of the phone - not just for charging the batteries. Make sure you are using the telephone line cable supplied with your telephone. Other telephone line cables might not work. Move the handset closer to the base unit. Check the battery level symbol on the display. If it is low, replace the handset on the base unit or charger pod to recharge the batteries. Switch off power at the mains socket, wait for a short time and then switch back on. This may solve the problem. |
"I cannot make a call" | If the handset display shows KEYS LOCKED, press and hold the * button to unlock it before you make a call. Only one handset (or the base unit) can be connected to the outside line at a time. If another handset is already using the line, you need to wait until it has finished its call. |
"When I press on the keys, nothing happens" | Make sure the batteries are fitted in your handset If the Battery Level symbol on the display shows 'low', put your handset back on the cradle to charge. |
"When I key in a number, it appears on the display, but I cannot make an outside call" | Try a different position for the base unit – somewhere higher if possible, or further from other electrical equipment. Try moving the handset closer to the base unit. |
"The phone does not ring" | Check that the base unit's mains power adapter is plugged in and power is switched on. Check that ring volume is not on OFF. |
"I hear 'beeps' from my handset while I'm on a call" | You may be going out of range of the base unit. Move closer or your call may be cut off. Check the Battery Level symbol on the display. If it's low, recharge the batteries. |
"When I try to make a call, I hear busy tone" | If you're using a multi-handset system, check whether another handset is already on a call. |
"The volume in the earpiece is low when I'm on a call" | Make sure you're holding the earpiece correctly over your ear. Adjust the volume using the UP/DOWN key. |
Batteries "The handset's battery cells are running low within an hour or two" | Before you first use the handset, you should have left it on the base unit or charger pod for 15 hours to charge the batteries fully. You may need to replace the batteries. Check the connection between the base unit and the mains power socket unit. |
"I try to recharge the batteries but I still get a warning that they are low" | You need to replace the batteries. Dispose of used batteries safely – never burn them, or put them where they could get punctured. Do not use non-rechargeable batteries in your handset – they may explode, causing damage. |
If the fault persists... | Disconnect all other instruments connected to the same line and try to make a call. Disconnect the base unit from the telephone line and plug a different phone into the master telephone socket. Try making a call. If this works, the line is OK. If the call does not work, and you are using a two-way socket adapter, remove it and plug a telephone directly into the socket. If the call now works, the adapter may be faulty. If you cannot make a call, the fault may be on the exchange line. Contact the service provider. |
The store where you bought your telephone can also provide you with information and after-sales support.
In the event of an electrical hazard, the mains adapter acts as 230V power isolating device. It should therefore, as a precaution, be installed close to the appliance and be easily accessible. To disconnect the device from the primary power source, the mains adapter must be removed from the 230V AC/50 Hz socket.
If the mains adapter fails, it must be replaced by an identical model. If not connected to the mains power or if there is a mains power failure, telephones that use cordless handsets will not work.
You will then be unable to make or receive calls in the event of an emergency.
This is why we recommend that you also keep a conventional telephone – one that doesn't require a power supply – as a backup.
! Do not use your telephone to notify a gas leak when standing in the vicinity of the leak.
It is recommended that you avoid using this device during electrical storms.
Do not attempt to open the batteries, as they contain chemical substances.
In the event of leakage, avoid contact with the skin, eyes, nose and mouth.
In the event of contact, rinse the affected part for about twenty minutes with running water and seek urgent medical attention.
Clean the product with absorbent paper or a dry cloth and contact your reseller for replacement batteries.
