Location
Important
Although the O2 handset is water resistant we do not recommend you locate
your main base or charger cradle in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Place your O2 base within reach of the AC power outlet and telephone wall
socket. The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and should
be easily accessible.
Make sure that it is at least 1 meter away from other electrical appliances
to avoid interference. Your O2 works by sending radio signals between the
handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you place the
base. Placing it as high as possible ensures the best signal.

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.
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 AC power at all times. Do not
connect the telephone line cord into the wall socket until the handset is fully
charged. Use only the AC power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with
the product.
