IMPORTANT  
• This telephone complies with applicable safety  
requirements for exposure to radio waves (EMR).  
The mean power of this telephone does not exceed  
20mW limit at which point testing is required.  
• The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal  
objects such as staples and pins. Care should be  
taken when placing the handset near these items.  
• Avoid exposure of this telephone to moisture or liquid.  
To prevent electric shock, do not open the handset or  
base cabinet.  
• Avoid metallic contact (e.g. metal clips, keys) between  
the battery contacts and charging conductors.  
• There is a slight chance that the telephone could be  
damaged by an electrical storm. It is recommended  
that users unplug the phone from the mains supply  
and telephone socket during a storm.  
• This telephone is not designed for making emergency  
telephone calls when the mains power fails.  
• Always have a corded phone available to be able to  
make and receive calls to emergency services if the  
mains power fails.  
• Do not use your telephone during an electrical storm  
thunderstorm as it is possible to get an electric shock.  
• Do not use the handset in an explosive hazard area  
such as where there is gas leaking.  
• Follow the local regulations regarding the disposal of  
your packing materials, exhausted batteries and used  
phone. Wherever possible, recycle those materials.  
• We advise that this phone should not be used near  
intensive care medical equipment or by persons with  
pacemakers.

telephone line or an analogue extension port of a  
PBX system. If you connect this device to a digital  
extension of a PBX, damage may result to the PBX.  
• Because the phone works by sending radio signals  
between base station and handset, wearers of  
hearing aids may experience interference in the form  
of a humming noise.  
Your phone can interfere with electrical equipment  
such as answering machines, TV and radio sets,  
clock radios and computers if placed too close. It is

Installation and Charger  
WARNING  
1. Connect the mains adaptor (supplied)  
to the socket on the back of the base  
unit and to the wall mains supply.  
2. Connect the telephone cord to the  
phone socket on the back of the base  
unit and into the wall phone socket.  
DO NOT USE STANDARD/ALKALINE BATTERIES IN  
THIS PRODUCT, AS THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION  
AND/OR INJURY. USE ONLY NI-MH RECHARGEABLE  
BATTERIES AS SPECIFIED IN THIS USER GUIDE.  
CONTACT ORICOM FOR REPLACEMENT BATTERIES.  
!
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY  
AN INCORRECT TYPE.  
Never use non-rechargeable batteries. Use recommended  
type supplied with this product.  
3. Insert 2 rechargeable Ni-MH AAA  
batteries (included), observing the  
correct polarity, into the battery compartment on the  
handset. Slide the battery door firmly into place.  
• Never use alkaline or lithium batteries.  
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire, as they can  
explode.  
4. Place the handset on the charging cradle and charge  
the batteries for a full 15 hours before using it for the  
first time.  
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released  
electrolyte is corrosive and can cause damage to the  
eyes or skin. It can be toxic if swallowed.  
• Avoid contact with metal objects when handling the  
battery. These objects could short out the batteries or  
cause the conductor to overheat resulting in burns.  
Note:  
It may take some time for the cordless handset to power  
up, and it may get warm during initial charge. This is  
normal.  
• Do not attempt to recharge the battery cell by heating  
it. Sudden release of battery electrolyte can cause  
burns or irritation to the eyes or skin.  
• Observe the proper polarity, or direction, of any battery.  
Reverse insertion of the battery cell can result in  
leakage or explosion.  
Tip!  
It is good practice to put the cordless handset on the  
charging cradle when it is not in use to ensure that the  
handset is always fully charged.  
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the  
product for several months at a time.  
• Follow the local regulations regarding the disposal of  
your packing materials, exhausted batteries and used  
phone. Wherever possible, recycle those materials.
