Getting started

Location
IMPORTANT
Do not place your CD4 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
You need to place your CD4 base within 2 metres of the mains power socket and
telephone wall socket so that the cables will reach. The socket-outlet should be
installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid
interference. Your CD4 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
on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base. When out of
range of the base, disappears. If you are on a call, you will hear a warning beep.
If you are on a call, the line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the
base. Move back within range. The handset will automatically re-connect to
the base.
Setting up
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times. Use only the
power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
