Getting Started - Motorola StarTAC SC200 Owner's Manual

1. Getting started

IMPORTANT
Do not place your SC200 in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
Location
You need to place your SC200 base within 2 metres of
the mains power and telephone wall sockets so that the
cables will reach. The socket-outlet shall be installed near
the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Make sure that it is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your SC200
works by sending radio signals between the cordless
handset and telephone base. The strength of the signal
depends on where you place the base. Placing it as high
as possible ensures the best signal.
CORDLESS 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.
Getting started
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.
