Motorola D1010 - Manual (Page 6)

6 Getting started
1. Getting started
WARNING
Do not place your D1011 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your D1011 base within 2 metres of the mains power
socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to
avoid interference. Your D1011 works by sending radio signals between
the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you
place the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
HANDSET RANGE
The D1011 has a range of 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line
of sight between the base and handset. Any obstruction between the
base and handset will reduce the range significantly. With the base
indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally
be up to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The
icon on your handset indicates when you are in range. When out
of range of the base, the screen shows SEARCHING and the flashes.
If you are on a call, the line will hang up if the handset moves out of range
of the base. Move back within in range. The handset will automatically re-
connect to the base.
Setting up
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times. Do
not connect the telephone line cord into the wall socket until the handset
is fully charged. Only use the power and telephone cables supplied with
the product.
WHICH POWER ADAPTOR?
The power adaptor with a clear connector is for the base unit and the
power adaptor with a red colour connector is for the charger unit.
Connecting up the base
Plug the mains power cable with the clear connector into the socket
marked
on the underside of the base and plug the other end into the
mains power wall socket and switch the power on.
Connecting the handset and charger (Multi-pack only)
If you have purchased a multiple pack, this process will need to be carried
out for all handsets and chargers:
1. Plug the mains power cable with the red connector into the socket
marked on the underside of the charger.
