Technical Information
How many telephones can I have?
All items of telephone equipment have a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to calculate the number of items which may be connected to any one telephone line. Your C1L has a REN of 1. A total REN of 4 is allowed. If the total REN of 4 is exceeded, the telephones may not ring. With different telephone types, there is no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is less than 4.
Any additional handsets and chargers that you register have a REN of 0.
Connecting to a switchboard
This product is intended for use within Europe for connection to the public telephone network.
Recall
You may need to use the recall function if you are connected to a switch. Contact your PABX supplier for further information.

Getting started
Do not place your C1L in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Location
You need to place your C1L base within 1.5 metres of the mains power and telephone wall socket so that the cables will reach. The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
Make sure that it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your C1L 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
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
- Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked
on the underside of the base. - 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.
Installing and charging the handset
- Remove the battery cover from the back of the handset and insert the rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells supplied. Please note the '+' and '-' markings inside the battery compartment and insert in the correct direction.
- Slide the battery cover back into place.
- If you are charging the batteries for the first time, place the handset on the base to charge for at least 24 hours continuously.
- When the handset is fully charged,
icon will appear steady on the display. Plug the other end of the telephone line cord (make sure that one end is already plugged into the base) into the telephone wall socket.
Connecting the handset and charger (for multi-pack only)
If you have purchased a multiple pack, you will need to carry out this process for all the handsets and chargers.
- Plug the power adaptor into the socket marked
on the underside of the charger and plug the other end into the mains power wall socket. - Remove the battery cover from the back of the handset and insert the 2 x AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries supplied. Please note the '+' and '-' markings inside the battery compartment and insert in the correct direction.
- Slide the battery cover back into place.
- If you are charging the batteries for the first time, place the handset on the charger to charge for at least 24 hours continuously.
- When the handset is fully charged,
icon will appear steady on the display. The display will show HANDSET and handset number (e.g. 2) to indicate that it is registered to the base.
Use only the approved rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells (2 x AAA Ni-MH 300mA rechargeable batteries) supplied with your C1L.
BATTERY LOW WARNING
If
icon flashes on the display and you hear a warning beep every minute during a call, you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again.
When charging,
icon will scroll on the display.
BATTERY PERFORMANCE
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 6.5 hours talk time or up to 135 hours standby time on a single charge.1
Note that new batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been put to normal use for several days.
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time.
Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, giving the handset less talk / standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
1 All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on features selected and usage pattern.
Date and time
If you have subscribed to a Caller ID Service, the date and time is set automatically for all handsets when you receive your first call.
If you do not have a Caller ID service, you can set the date and time manually, see section "7. Clock & Alarm".
Your C1L is now ready for use.
