Getting started

Location
Important Do not place your HB1688 in the bathroom or other humid areas. Place your HB1688 base within reach of the AC power outlet and telephone wall jack. The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible. Make sure it is at least 1 meter away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your HB1688 works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you place the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
Handset range
The unit has a range of up to 300 meters 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 meters.
Signal strength
on your handset indicates that you are within range of the base. When out of range of the base, disappears. If you are on a call, you will hear a warning beep. If you are on a call, the line will hang up if the handset moves out of range of the base. Move back within range. The handset will automatically re- connect to the base.
Setting up
Important The base station must be plugged into the AC power at all times. Use only the AC power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied with the product.

Battery performance In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give up to 10 hours talk time or up to 200 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.
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 the rechargeable battery will reduce with time as it wears out, giving the handset less talk / standby time. Eventually it will need to be replaced. After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time is about 6­8 hours a day. Batteries and the handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
Important When fully charged batteries are removed and re-inserted, or the handset is
battery is still fully charged and the handset can be used as normal. If you charge the handset again by replacing it on the base unit, it will usually show fully charged after 10 minutes (this time will be dependent on the battery capacity). This is normal behaviour and is a reminder to charge the handset to prevents calls being dropped.
1All talk and standby times are approximate and depend on features selected and usage pattern.
