Getting started

Location
Important
Do not place your E2 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Place your E2 base within reach of the mains power and telephone wall socket.
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 E2 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.
