Read First Before Use Choosing a location for the base unit and charging pod The base unit and charging pod(s) should be placed on a level surface and in a location where: ■ the mains adapter plug can easily reach the 230-V AC mains supply socket - never try to lengthen the mains power cable ■ the telephone cable of the base unit can reach the telephone wall socket or extension socket (the charging pod does not have a telephone line connection) ■ 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 - fridge, washing machine, microwave oven, fluorescent lights, television, etc. ■ it is away from hot, humid conditions and strong sunlight Radio signals between the handset and base unit To use your handset and base unit, you must be able to establish and maintain a radio link between them. Be aware that any large metal objects, like a refrigerator, a mirror, filing cabinet, etc, between the handset and the base unit may block the radio signal. Other solid structures, like walls, may also reduce the signal strength. Connections and conditions for use You can connect your iDECT X5i to a direct exchange line (DEL) - a line connected to a local exchange, with its own phone number; to an extension socket connected to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved compatible PBX. Do not connect the iDECT X5i as an extension to a payphone. The ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) of all instruments (phones, fax machines, etc.) connected to an exchange line must not add up to more than 4 - otherwise, one or more of them may not ring and/or answer calls correctly. The iDECT X5i has a REN of 1, and most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise. 2
