Connection and Conditions for Use
You can connect your phone to a direct exchange line (DEL) on a local
exchange with its own phone number; to an extension socket connected
to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved compatible PBX. Do not
connect as an extension to a pay phone.
The ringer equivalence numbers (REN) of all equipment (phones, fax
machines, modems, etc.) connected to an exchange line must not add up
to more than 4, otherwise one or more of them may not ring and/or
answer calls correctly. The phone has a REN of 1, regardless of how many
handsets are registered to the base, and most other telephones have a
REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

Call Blocker Function
The Eclipse Plus Call Blocker system can be programmed to block certain
call types or calling numbers. (See section 10.)
For most of the Call Blocking functions you must subscribe to and receive
the Caller Display service from your telephone line provider.
When a blocked call is received, the base and handsets will not ring, but
the handset will show the caller display information and the backlight
will turn on. If the answering machine is enabled, it will answer a blocked
call after its normal set number of rings and it will record any message
left by the caller, but with no call screening.
NOTE: Other telephones connected in parallel to the Eclipse Plus Call
Blocker may affect its operation.
Handset & Base Connection
1) When purchased, all handsets are already registered to the base
unit and should link to it when they are all powered up.
2) 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 meters
outdoors or 50 meters 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.
3) Do not place the base unit close to another telephone, TV or audio
equipment ‐ it may cause interference.
4) Putting the base unit as high as possible ensures the best signal.
5) If the sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted during a call,
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.
