Motorola S1201 - Manual (Page 6)

6 Getting started
1. Getting started
IMPORTANT
Do not place your S12 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your S12 base within 2 metres of the
mains power and telephone wall sockets so that the cables
will reach. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Make sure that it is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your S12 works
by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The
strength of the signal depends on where you place the base.
Placing it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
HANDSET RANGE
The unit has a range of up to 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 the handset either
indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres.
Thick concrete and stone walls can severely affect the range.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The
icon on your handset indicates that you are within
range of the base. When out of range of the base, the
icon flashes. If you are on a call, you will hear a warning
beep.
The line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the
base. Move closer to the base. The handset will
automatically reconnect 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. Use only the power
adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the product.
Connecting the base
1. Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked
on the underside of the base.
2. Plug the power adaptor into the socket marked on
the underside of the base and plug the other end into
the mains power wall socket. Switch on the mains
power.
