Important note — emergency calls

The DECT 1905 must be registered to a base series

designed for making emergency calls when the mains

power fails. So you should make alternative

arrangements for access to Emergency Services.

(This means that you should also have a basic

phone that does not need mains power, connected

to your line so that you can make calls during a

power failure.)

If you need help …

Choosing

a site for the

charger pod

The charger pod(s) should be placed on a level surface,

in a position where:

■the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible

240-V

AC switched mains supply socket — never try

to lengthen the mains power cable

■it is not close to another telephone — this can cause

radio interference

■it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere

else where it might get wet

■it is not close to other electrical equipment — fridges,

washing machines, microwave ovens, fluorescent

lights, TVs etc.

Radio signals

between

handset and

base unit

To use your handset and base unit together, you must

be able to establish a radio link between them. Be

aware that:

■Any large metal object — like a refrigerator, a mirror

or a filing cabinet — between the handset and the

base unit may block the radio signal.

■Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the

signal strength.

Mains power

connection IMPORTANT — The DECT 1905 charger pod must be

used with the mains adapter supplied with the unit.

Using any other adapter will invalidate any approval

given to this apparatus.

4Charge the batteries for 15 hours

The battery charge level symbol should

increase by one bar every half hour when

you’re charging an empty battery. If you

think that the symbol isn’t showing the

correct battery charge level, remove and

refit the batteries.

Keeping the batteries charged

When you don’t need to use the

handset (for example, overnight or

when you go out), replace it on the

base unit or charger pod, to keep the

batteries charged.

Whenever the battery charge level

symbol shows ‘nearly empty’( ),

place the handset on the base unit or

charger pod to charge the batteries.

Before you use the handset for the first time,

it’s important to charge the batteries fully.

The handset ‘beeps’ when it’s correctly in

position on the charging cradle.

Leave the handset on the charging cradle

for 15 hours.

Before you start

Electrical

safety ■DON’T let the base unit or charger pod get wet.

Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used

while you are wet or standing in water.

■If the base unit or charger pod ever falls into water,

DON’T retrieve it until you have unplugged the power

lead from the mains and the telephone line plug from

the telephone socket (base unit only); then pull it out by

the unplugged cables.

■

NEVER use your DECT 1905 outdoors during a

thunderstorm — unplug the base unit from the

telephone line and the mains socket when there are

storms in your area. Damage caused by lightning is not

covered by the guarantee.

Interference If the sound quality gets worse as you move around

while on a call, this is probably caused by interference

between the handset and the base unit, perhaps

because you are too near to another phone or other

electrical equipment.

Move to a different position to clear the interference.

If you do not move, your call may be cut off.

!Radio interference in the environment may occasionally

cause a short break in the link between the handset

and the base unit while you are on a call. The handset’s

display may briefly show No Base Found until the link

is restored.

‘Out of range’

warning If you hear a warning tone during a call, and/or the

sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted, you

may be going out of range of the base unit. Move

nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds, until the

tone stops. Otherwise, your call may be cut off.

and the handset is within range. The handset’s display
