Getting Started - Motorola CL1I series User Manual

1. Getting started

IMPORTANT
Do not place your CL1I in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your CL1I base within 2 metres of the mains power and telephone
wall sockets so that the cables will reach. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Make sure that it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid
interference. Your CL1I works by sending radio signals between the cordless handset and
corded base. The strength of the signal depends on where you place the base. Placing it
as high as possible ensures the best signal.
CORDLESS HANDSET RANGE
The unit has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight
between the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base and handset will
reduce the range significantly. With the base indoors and the handset either indoors or
outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick concrete and stone walls can
severely affect the range.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The icon on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base. When out of
range of the base, the icon bars will reduce until they have disappeared. If you are on a
call, you will hear a warning beep.
The line will hang up if the cordless handset moves out of range of the base. Move closer to
the base. The cordless handset will automatically reconnect to the base.
Setting up
IMPORTANT
The cordless handset to work the base station must be plugged into the mains power at
all times. Do not connect the telephone line cord into the wall socket until the cordless
handset is fully charged. Use only the power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied
with the product.
