Getting Started Engenius FreeStyl V2 Digital Cordless Phone

Base Station Installation
There are three possible base station setups:

Base station alone
Base station plus telephone answering device
Base station plus standard telephone

For best performance, maintain at least a distance of 1 meter (about 3 feet) between the base station and other electronic devices (e.g., TV, computer, stereo, fax machine, answer machine, cordless phone, etc.)

Install base station antenna.
The base station’s antenna port has a Reversed-thread connector; to install antenna or cable, turn clockwise; to remove, turn counter-clockwise. Improper installation may damage the connector.
Plug the transformer end of the base station AC/DC adaptor into a standard AC electrical power outlet, plug the other end into the “DC In” jack on the back of the base station.
1. The base adaptor’s DC plug is same dimension as the charger’s DC plug. The charger adaptor’s DC plug can fit into the base’s DC In jack.
Plug phone cord into the “LINE” Jack
A standard telephone or answering machine can be plugged into the adjacent jack on the back of the base station marked TEL

Handset and Charger Installation

Plug the transformer end of the Charger AC/DC adaptor into a standard AC electric power outlet, plug the other end into the “DC In” jack on the back of the Charger.
Install battery pack onto the handset.
Install handset antenna.
Place handset onto the charger slot.
Fully charge the battery for three hours before use.
The phone system is now ready to perform basic functions such as making and receiving phone calls and intercom calls. No base station or handset programming is needed for basic operations.

Note

Handset(s) packaged along with a Base Station are pre-registered at the factory. If you have a new handset, you will need to register the handset with the base station in order to be recognized as a member handset by the base(s) and by other handsets. See Handset Registration.
Fully charge battery packs before the first usage.

The phone will automatically power on and begin searching for a signal.
To register the handset, press and hold the "REG" button on the base station until the handset beeps.
The handset is now registered and ready to use. To pair additional handsets, simply repeat the process.

Safety Instructions

Caution: Your wireless telephone gives you freedom and flexibility to stay in touch while you move around. However, when using your phone equipment, safety instructions should be followed to avoid the risks of fire, electric shock, injury to person, and damage to property.

General Safety Instructions

When using your wireless phone, ensure your safety and the safety of others:
1. Always watch where you are walking and standing.
2. Don’t let a phone call distract you from working safely.
3. If power goes out, it won’t work, so back-up power is recommended.
In an emergency:
1. If an emergency occurs, dial the emergency phone number. Remember: if you are in an area where your phone does not have a clear signal from the base, it is highly probable that the call may not go through. Locate the nearest landline telephone or other communications device to call for help.
2. Emergency calls may not automatically provide emergency personnel with your name, phone number or location.
Notice to Hearing Aid Users: This phone system is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.
Notice to Cardiac Pacemaker Users: Preliminary studies done by the US FDA and others have shown that, although interference to the implanted cardiac pacemaker may occur when operating very closely, wireless telephones “do not seem to pose a significant problem for pacemaker wearers.” However, until more is known, FDA suggests that people with pacemakers may want to take precautions when using or carrying a wireless telephone to ensure that there is ample distance between the telephone and the pacemaker. Do not carry the handset in a breast pocket. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off your handset immediately.

Battery Safety Instructions

Use only manufacturer approved Li-ion rechargeable batteries and charger. Do not use other types of rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries could short-circuit, and the battery enclosure may be damaged causing a hazardous condition.
Follow the charging instruction in this manual and instruction labels and markings in the handset and charger compartments.
The battery should not be charged in the place where the temperature is less than 0℃ or greater than 40
Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose the battery in a fire. The cells may explode.
Do not dispose of the battery in municipal waste. Check with local codes for disposal instructions.
Exercise care in handling the batteries in order not to short-circuit the battery with conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, keys, pocketknife, and coins. The battery or conductive material may overheat and cause burn or fire.
Do not expose batteries to rain or water.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause injury to eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed.
During charging, the battery heats up. This is normal and is not dangerous.
