WARNING
Do not place your D801 in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Location

You need to place your D801 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 D801 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.
To wall mount your D801 base, see "Wall mounting" on
page 22.
HANDSET RANGE
The D801 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.
Searching...
When out of range of the base, the screen shows
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.

Connecting up the large base

Plug the large mains power cable into the socket marked
on the underside of the base and plug the other end into the
mains power wall socket and switch the power on.

Connecting the handset and charger

If you have purchased a multiple pack, this process will need to
be carried out for all handsets and chargers:
the
1. Plug the small mains power cable into the socket marked
on the underside of the charger.
2. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the
handset. Then slide the compartment cover into place.
3. Place the handset on the charger to charge for at least 24
hours. When the handset is fully charged the
indicate that it is fully charged.
4. After 24 hours, plug the telephone line cord from the large
base into the telephone wall socket.
BATTERY LOW WARNING
If the icon flashes in the display, you will need to recharge
the handset before you can use it again.
During charging, the icon will scroll in the display.
BATTERY PERFORMANCE
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give about 10
hours talk time or 100 hours standby time on a single charge.
Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they
have been in normal use for several days.
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset
off the base for a few hours at a time.
Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help
them last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with
time as they wear out, giving the handset less talk/standby
time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent
charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and handset
may become warm during charging. This is normal.
