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.
Thick concrete and stone walls can severely affect the range.
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.

Connecting the base

1. Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked on the underside of the base and the other end of the line cord into the telephone line wall jack.
2. Plug the AC power jack into the socket marked on the underside of the base and plug the AC adaptor into the AC power outlet. Switch on the AC power.

Installing and charging the handset

1. 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.
2. Slide the battery cover back into place.
3. When charging the battery pack for the first time, place the handset on the base to charge for at least 16 hours continuously.
4. When the handset is fully charged, will appear steadily 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 cradle (for multi-pack only)
If you have purchased a multiple pack, you will need to carry out this process for all the handsets and charger cradles.

1. Plug the AC power jack into the socket marked on the underside of the charger cradle and plug the power adaptor into the AC power outlet.
2. Remove the battery cover from the back of the handset and insert the 2 x AAA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries supplied. Please note the ’+’ and ’-’ markings inside the battery compartment and insert in the correct direction.
3. Slide the battery cover back into place.
4. When charging the battery pack for the first time, place the handset on the charger cradle to charge for at least 16 hours continuously.
5. When the handset is fully charged, will appear steadily on the display.
   The display will show the time and the date on the screen, to indicate that it is registered to the base.

Important
Warning! Use only the approved rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells (2 x AAA Ni-MH 300mAh rechargeable batteries) supplied with your HB1688.
Battery low warning
If flashes on the display and there is a warning beep every 2 minutes during a call, recharge the handset before using it again.
When charging, will scroll on the display.
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.’
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 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 6-8 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 powered off and on, the battery icon on the display will reduce to 1 bar. The 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.
Date and time
If you have subscribed to a Caller ID Service and Auto Clock is set to on (see page 29), the date and time is set automatically for all handsets when you receive your first call. If Auto Clock is set to off the time and date does not set automatically.
