Warning  
Avoid placing the base station too  
close to large metal objects such as

appliances. This can impair the range  
and sound quality. Buildings with thick  
internal and external walls may impair  
transmission of signals to and from  
the base.  
2
!
Warning  
The base station does not have an  
ON/OFF switch. Power is applied  
when the power adaptor is plugged

power down the unit is to unplug the  
power adaptor from the electricity  
socket. Therefore, ensure that the  
electricity socket is easily accessible.  
The power adaptor and telephone  
line cord have to be connected  
correctly, as incorrect connection  
could damage the unit.  
Always use the telephone line cord  
supplied with the unit. Otherwise,  
you may not get a dial tone.  
Connect the other end of the  
line cord to the telephone line  
socket and the other end of the  
power cable to the electricity  
socket.

Tip  
10.6.2.1 Activate/Deactivate  
Remote Access  
Economy mode can save you the cost  
of a long-distance call when you  
check your messages remotely. If  
there are new messages in your  
answering machine, the outgoing  
message will start playing after 3  
rings. If there are no new messages,  
the outgoing message will be played  
after 5 rings. Hence, if you want to  
check if you have any messages  
without incurring call charges, you  
can hang up the call after the 4th ring.
