cradle for 15 hours.

switched on if you want to use
the phone — it will not work
without electrical power

Electrical
safety
■
DON’T
let the base unit or charger pod get wet.
Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used
while you are wet or standing in water.
■
If the base unit or charger pod ever falls into water,
DON’T
retrieve it until you have unplugged the power
lead from the mains and the telephone line plug from
the telephone socket (base unit only); then pull it out by
the unplugged cables.
■
NEVER
use your iDECT K1 outdoors during a thunder-
storm — unplug the base unit from the telephone line
and the mains socket when there are storms in your
area. Damage caused by lightning is not covered by the
guarantee.
Interference
If the sound quality gets worse as you move around
while on a call, this is probably caused by interference
between the handset and the base unit, perhaps
because you are too near to another phone or other
electrical equipment.
Move to a different position
to clear the interference.
If you do not move, your call may be cut off.
!
Radio interference in the environment may occasion-
ally cause a short break in the link between the
handset and the base unit while you are on a call.
The ‘signal level’ on symbol handset’s display may
flash until the link is restored.
‘Out of range’
warning
If you hear a
warning tone
during a call, and/or the
sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted, you
may be going out of range of the base unit.
Move
nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds
, until the
tone stops. Otherwise, your call may be cut off.
