This equipment is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the

services.

2GETTING STARTED

WARNING

Do not place your M900 in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Location

:PVOFFEUPQMBDFZPVS.CBTFXJUIJONFUSFTPGUIFNBJOT

power socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical

BQQMJBODFTUPBWPJEJOUFSGFSFODF:PVS.XPSLTCZTFOEJOH

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.

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall

be easily accessible.

Handset range

The M900 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 signicantly.

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 icon

ashes and the handset gives an out-of-range warning tone every

minute. This tone is repeated until you move back into range.

If you move out of range during a call, you will lose the current call.

Move back within range. The handset will automatically re-connect

to the base and it will be possible to make another call.

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 (multi-packs only).

3GETTING STARTED

Connecting up the base

Plug the clear 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

1. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset.

Then slide the compartment cover into place.

2. Place the handset on the base to charge for at least 24 hours.

When the handset is fully charged the icon will indicate

that it is fully charged.

3. After 24 hours, plug the telephone line cord from the base into

the telephone wall socket.

Connecting multipacks

If you have purchased a multiple pack, this process will need to be

carried out for all handsets and chargers.

1. Plug the mains power cable with the red connector into the

socket marked on the underside of the charger.

Battery low warning

If the icon ashes in the display, you will need to recharge the

handset before you can use it again.

During charging, the icon in the display will scroll.

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. Batteries and handset may

become warm during charging. This is normal.
