IMPORTANT
Do not place your C42 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your C42 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 C42 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 telephone base and the cordless handset. Any obstruction between the base
and handset will reduce the range signicantly. 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 aect the range.
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.
