Getting started

Location
Important
Do not place your CD5 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Place your CD5 base within reach of the AC power outlet and telephone wall
jack. The equipment should be installed near the AC power outlet and should
be easily accessible.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid
interference. Your CD5 works by sending radio signals between the handset
and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you place the base.
Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
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 on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base and
the signal strength, the more bars visible the better the signal. If you are out of
range the shows on the display.
If you are on a call when you move out of range, you will hear a warning
beep and the line will hang up. Move back within range. The handset will
automatically re-connect to the base.
Setting up
Important
The base station must be plugged into the AC power outlet at all times. Use
only the AC power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
