1. Getting started
IMPORTANT
Do not place your IT.6T in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your IT.6T base within 2 metres of the mains power socket
and telephone wall socket so that the cables will reach. T he 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. Y our IT.6T works by sending radio signals between the
handset and base. T he 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.
BLUETOOTH WIRELESS RANGE
Once your IT.6T and mobile phone are connected (see page 19), by
positioning the IT.6T base and mobile phone where the mobile signal is
strongest you can optimise the mobile range. The mobile phone must be
within 10m of the IT.6T base. If you go out of range when making a call on
the IT.6T, handset using the mobile network, you will hear a double beep. If
you don't move back into range the call will be disconnected.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
The
icon on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base
and the signal strength, the more bars visible the better the signal. If you are
on a call and go out of range, 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.
