How to use

Plug the base station into power and connect the phone cable to your line; the handset is pre-registered and ready to use. Use the navigation key and on-screen menu to set language, date/time and acoustic profile. Store important numbers in the phonebook or assign them to programmable speed-dial keys (2–9). During a call, use the handsfree button to switch to speaker mode or press any key for the direct-dial feature if configured.

Usage recommendations

For best performance place the base station centrally in your home to maximise DECT range; charge the handset fully before first use and replace the batteries only with NiMH AAA types supplied or equivalent. Use the boost and acoustic profile settings to adapt audio to personal hearing preferences; enable call blocking or anonymous suppression to reduce unwanted calls.
