1. Getting started

WARNING
Do not place your D711 in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Location

You need to place your D711 base within 2 metres of the mains power socket and telephone
socket so that the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your
D711 works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal
depends on where you site the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
HANDSET RANGE
The D711 has a range of 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 handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50
metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The icon on your handset indicates when you are in range. When out of range of the base,
the screen shows SEARCHING the flashes and the handset gives an out-of-range warning tone
every minute. This tone is repeated until you move back into range.
If you are on a call, the line will hang up. Move back within in 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. Do not connect the telephone
line cord into the wall socket until the handset is fully charged. Only use the power and telephone
cables supplied with the product.
WHICH POWER ADAPTOR?
The power adaptor with a clear connector is for the base unit and the power adaptor with a red
colour connector is for the charger unit.
