IMPORTANT
Do not place your D5 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your D5 base within 2 metres of the mains power and telephone
wall sockets so that the cables will reach. The socket-outlet should be installed near the
equipment and should be easily accessible.
Make sure that it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid
interference. Your D5 works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The
strength of the signal depends on where you place the base. Placing 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
icon on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base. When out of
range of the base, the
icon flashes. If you are on a call, you will hear a warning beep.
The line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the base. Move closer to the
base. The handset will automatically reconnect 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. Use only the
power adaptor and telephone line cord 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 (for multi-pack only).
