message displayed on-screen
Only use the cables and batteries supplied. Make sure
both the mains power adaptor cable and telephone line
cord are plugged into the correct sockets.
Poor speech quality Make sure the product is not located too close to other
electrical appliances. This can also help to improve the
handset range from the base.

when charging
The battery charge is very low. Make sure you charge
the batteries for 16 hours before use to ensure
maximum battery performance
Using broadband on the
same phone line?
To avoid problems with your broadband or noise on
your phone line, you might need to plug your telephone
line cord into the wall via a microlter (not supplied).
If your main phone socket
has a single socket,
as shown, you’ll
need to use
microlters
You don’t need to use
microlters if your main
phone socket has two
separate sockets, like
either of these:
