IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS


2. SET UP THE TELEPHONE
2.1 Package Contents
The package contains the following items:
• Handset (1 for VT1301, 2 for VT1301-2)
• 1 Base station
• 1 Power adaptor for base
• Charger (1 for VT1301-2)
• 1 Telephone cord
• AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries (2 for VT1301, 4 for VT1301-2)
• User’s manual
• Warranty card

2.2 Location
For maximum coverage and reduce the interference, here are some guidelines you
should consider when you place the base unit:
- place it at a convenient, high, and central location with no obstructions between the
handset and base unit in an indoor environment.
- place it away from electronic appliances such as televisions, microwave ovens,
radios, personal computers, wireless devices or other cordless phones.
- avoid facing radio frequency transmitters, such as external antennas of mobile phone
cell stations.
- avoid plugging it into the same circuit as other major household electrical appliances
because of the potential interference. Try moving the appliance or the base unit to
another power outlet.

Place your VT1301, VT1301-2 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 VT1301, VT1301-2 works by sending radio signals between the
handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you locate the base.
Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal. The maximum range between
the base station and the handset is approximately 300 meters. Depending on the
surrounding conditions as well as spatial and structural factors, the range may be
reduced. The range indoors is normally less than outdoors.


2.3 Connect the Base Station

. Plug the power cable into the base station, plug the other end of the power adapter
into the wall outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
2. Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the base station and the other end into
a telephone wall jack. If you have DSL high speed internet service, a DSL filter (not

SET UP THE TELEPHONE

included) is required.
NOTEs
• Always use the cables supplied with the product.
• Use only the power adapter supplied with the base station.
• Ensure power cord is fed through the slot on base so unit sits flush with the desk.

2.4 Connect the Charger

Power adapter cable

. Plug the power cable into the charger base.

2. Plug the other end into the power wall socket and switch the power on.
NOTE
Ensure power cord is fed through the slot on the base so unit sits flush with the desk.


2.5 Install and Charge the Handset Battery

. Slide open the battery compartment cover.
2. Place the 2 AAA batteries as indicated following the polarity signs.
3. Slide the battery compartment cover back in position.
HS

4. Put the handset on the base or charger to charge for at least 14 hours for the first
time. A beep sounds when the handset is properly placed on the base or charger.
NOTES
• Use only the AAA, 2.4V, 400mAh, NiMH rechargeable batteries.
