GETTING STARTED

5 GETTING STARTED

WARNING

• Do not place your iHome Phone in the bathroom or other humid areas.

• Do not place your iHome Phone near sources of heat and extreme temperatures, such as fluorescent lighting, microwave ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.

• Do not disassemble your iHome Phone; there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• If the LCD screen breaks, do not touch the glass or liquid. Contact customer support for assistance.

• Use only the power adapter supplied with your iHome Phone.

5.1

Care and maintenance

• Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft, clean, dry cloth.

• To remove fingerprints on the LCD screen, wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Do not use cleaning solutions unless they are designed specifically for LCD screens.

IMPORTANT

Always switch off and disconnect the power adapter before cleaning the iHome Phone.

5.2

Handset range

The iHome Phone has a range of 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 handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 meters. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.

5.3

Signal strength

The icon on your handset indicates when you are in range.

When out of range of the base, the signal strength will drop out. If you are on a call, the line will hang up. Move back within range. The handset will automatically re-connect to the base.

16



GETTING STARTED

5.4

Battery low warning

If the following appears on the display, you will need to charge the handset.

5.4.1

Battery performance

Under ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should give about 8 hours talk time or 60 hours standby time on a single charge.

Note that new batteries will not reach full capacity until they have been in 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.

Drain the batteries completely at least once a week before charging will help to prolong battery life.

The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, giving the handset lesser talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.

After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time will be about 6 hours a day. Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.

5.5

Attaching the stand to the DECT base station

Follow the steps below to attach the stand to the DECT base station.

1

Insert the stand into the locking grooves at the bottom of the DECT base station.

2

Twist the stand slightly until it is firmly secured to the DECT base station.


17


GETTING STARTED

5.6

Connecting the power cable and telephone line cord

1

Plug one end of the power cable and telephone line cord to the power jack and phone jack respectively on the bottom of the DECT base station.

2

Plug the other end into a power and telephone wall socket.

5.6.1

If you have a Broadband line

If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband connection, you will need to insert a micro-filter between the telephone and the telephone line, otherwise you may get interference between the telephone and the broadband, which could cause problems. In a home with broadband, every telephone must have a micro-filter connected, not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is connected to. If you need more broadband micro-filters, contact your broadband supplier.

5.7

Removing back cover

1

Use the Stylus pen to gently press the keylock to release the spring lock.

18



2

The back cover will disengage from the handset.

GETTING STARTED

3

Remove the back cover completely.

5.8

Installing the battery

1

Place the supplied rechargeable battery into the battery compartment of the handset.

2

Install the back cover by aligning the back cover tabs with the notches located at the top of the back panel.

3

Push down the back cover until it clicks in place.

Caution

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.


19


GETTING STARTED

5.9

Charging the battery

New batteries are not charged when shipped. Before you start using your phone, you will need to charge the battery.

Place the handset on the DECT base station to charge for

at least 6 hours

. The Red charging LED will light up.

Once charged,

A

will appear to indicate that the handset is fully charged.

20

Notes

If the Red Charging LED did not light up, you need to re-align the iHome Phone to get a good charging contact with the DECT base Station.

If your iHome Phone is totally out of battery, it may take a while before you can power up the phone.

Battery performance depends on your usage patterns.

IMPORTANT

Use only the rechargeable battery that is provided with your iHome Phone.

5.10 Inserting and mounting a memory card

The iHome Phone supports micro SD cards.

You can store music, pictures, files and applications on a memory card and access them on your iHome Phone.

IMPORTANT

You need to insert the micro SD card into the iHome Phone before you can use the Music and Gallery applications.

Internet Function

13 Internet Function

Before you can surf the Internet, send and receive emails, listen to Internet radio broadcasts, check weather, stock prices, etc., you must be joined to a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet. However, the iHome Phone cannot play video files or

YouTube videos.

For Wi-Fi networks that are not secured with a PIN code, you can easily connect to them and access the Internet freely. However, for Wi-Fi networks that are secured with wireless password/key, you need to have the wireless password/key to access the Internet.

13.1 Register your iHome Phone to a Wi-Fi Network

You can now use the Internet function.

Note

The connection speed is dependent on the capability of the Wi-Fi network.

Once you have joined a Wi-Fi network manually, the iHome Phone will automatically connect to it whenever the network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in range, the iHome Phone will join the one last used.

Note

If you encounter problems connecting to the Wi-Fi network using preconfigured settings, try to tap on the network and select

Forget

to forget the “Remembered” network, then perform setup again.

13.2 Set Number of Wi-Fi Network Channels

Different regions utilize different channel schemes for their Wi-Fi networks. For example,

North America uses 11 channels, ETSI uses 13 channels while Japan uses 14 channels.

It is recommended that you set up your iHome Phone according to your country’s network scheme to achieve optimum connection.

• Check your subscription with your network operator.

• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the DECT base and the telephone wall jack. The filter will prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
