5. GENERAL
With cordless telephones, radio connection replaces the cord connecting the
handset to the base unit of traditional telephones. This allows you to make and
receive calls even when you are away from the base unit. Thanks to this radio
connection, your mobility increases.
The Mira 100 has a working range of 300 m (range is reduced to 60 m inside
buildings). This working range is however strongly reduced if there are several
obstacles between the base and the handset. If you have gone too far away from
the base, you will hear a warning signal.
6. INST A L L A TION
1. Connect the telephone cord to the right socket on the rear of the base (rear of
base facing you) and plug the other end into the line wall socket.
2. Connect the power cable plug to the power socket with indication “AC9V” on
the left side of the rear of the base (rear of base facing you) and plug the
adaptor into a power socket.
3. Adjust the antenna located on the left side of the base to a straight upward
position.
Remove the transparent plastic protection of the telephone number card on the
base station by pushing it to the left. Write down your own telephone number on
this card and put the plastic protection back.

Open the cover of the battery compartment on the backside of the handset. Now
place the battery in the handset and put the ON/OFF-switch in the ON-position
(“I”).
The battery of the handset has to be charged before telephone calls can be
made. The first time the unit is used, it takes at least 10 hours before the battery
is fully charged.
Put the handset on the connected base station to charge the battery. The battery
indicator lights to indicate that the battery is being charged. After approximately
10 hours the battery is fully charged. Do not put the handset back in the base
station, every time the phone has been used! Put the handset only in its base
when it is indicated that the battery is almost empty. It is better for the battery
to be sufficiently decharged before being recharged.
Remark:
The battery indicator will light when the handset has been put on the base sta-
tion for charging. It will not turn off when the battery is fully charged.
When you hear an intermittent tone from the handset or when the low battery
indicator on the LCD display of the handset is blinking, the handset has to be
charged again.
A fully charged battery allows a conversation of 5 hours. In standby mode the
battery has to be recharged after approximately 30 hours .
Remarks:
· The charger contacts of the handset should not come into contact with metal
since this could cause a short-circuit and damage the battery irreparably.
· The charger contacts of the battery on the base station and on the handset
should be cleaned with a soft cloth once a month.
· If you do not use your unit for a longer period of time, remove the battery
from the handset or put the ON/OFF-switch of the handset in the OFF-posi-
tion. In this case, do not put the handset in charging position on the base sta-
tion. It is better for your batteries not to do so.
· If the battery in the handset has not been charged for a long period of time,
charge it during an entire night.
· Do not throw faulty batteries just anywhere, they are small chemical waste
and have to be treated as such.
