To reset, place the handset on the cradle of the base unit tor five seconds.
Note: To better protect the privacy and security of the user, the handset included was factory-preset to
work only with the base that comes with it. This is to prevent others from using the same model units to
eavesdropping on your phone conversation, or to make phone calls remotely on your phone line.
IMPROVING CORDLESS RECEPTION
Follow these guidelines to improve cordless sound quality:
• Select an area to install the Excursion" 36000 where it is closest to the center of your home or office.
This will improve the operating range of the unit.
• Keep the Excursion® 36000 base unit away from electrical equipment. Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI) is sometimes generated by these appliances, which can cause degradation in cordless reception.
• Keep the handset batteries charged as much as possible. Weak handset batteries can limit the range of
cordless operation.
MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
Repeated use or recharge of Ni-Cd batteries without periodic full discharge results in reduced useable
charge time. When you notice the usable charge duration decreasing, fully discharge the Ni-Cd battery
and recharge as described:
DISCHARGING
1. Unplug the telephone line cord from the Excursion® 36000.
2. Make sure that the adapter is connected.
3. Lift the handset out of the base cradle.
4. Press the TALK button of the handset (The base IN USE LED Indicator should light) and start
discharging. Once the handset BATTERY LOW LED Indicator starts flashing, it means that the
battery level is low. Let it fully discharge for 12 hours. Once the Ni-Cd battery is fully discharged,
you may now charge the battery to its full capacity.
CHARGING
1. Make sure the adapter and telephone line cord are connected to the Excursion" 36000.
2. Place the handset on the base cradle. The base CHARGE LED Indicator of the base unit will light
steadily.
3. Leave the handset charging on the base for 14 hours continuously to get a maximum charge.
4. The Excursion® 36000 is now ready for regular use. Discharge and charge the Ni-Cd battery again
once you notice a decrease in the useable charge time.
MAINTENANCE
1. Your phone should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves or any
other appliance that produces heat.
2. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the plastic cabinet. A mild soap will help to remove grease or oil.
Never use polish, solvents, abrasives or strong detergents since these can damage the finish.
