Getting started


g etting stArted

Getting started

Important: please make sure you’ve read the safety information on page 112 before you set up your phone system.

Check box contents

You should have:

• 1 corded phone base (includes handset and answering machine base)

• 1 cordless handset

• 1 battery cover

• 1 charger base (for cordless handset)

• 2 power adapters (one’s already attached to your charger base)

• 1 telephone cable

• 2 rechargeable AAA 1.2V 800mAh NiMH batteries

• 1 wrist shaker with a wrist strap attached

• 1 charger unit for the wrist shaker (with power adapter plug attached)

Important: use only the power adapters, telephone line cord and batteries supplied with your PowerTel 680 otherwise your phone may not work.



Set up your phone system in four simple steps

1 Connect your corded phone base

i. Plug the power adapter (the one with nothing attached to it) into the back of your corded phone base and the other end into the mains power wall socket and switch on.

ii. Plug the telephone cable into the back of your corded phone base and the other end into the phone wall socket.

iii. Plug one end of the handset cable into the handset and the other end into the side of the base.

Mains power wall socket

Telephone wall socket

1 2

Important: use only the power adapters, telephone line cord and batteries supplied with your PowerTel 680 otherwise your phone may not work.



2 Connect your charger base

Plug the other power adapter that’s already attached to your charger base into your mains power wall socket and switch the power on.

3 Install your batteries

i. Insert your two rechargeable batteries into your handset. Make sure they’re the right way round so ‘+’ lines up with ‘+’.

ii. Replace your handset’s battery compartment cover.



4 Charge your cordless handset

So it can charge fully, place your handset on its charger base for at least 15 hours (make sure the power socket is switched on!).

Important: only use the rechargeable 800mAh NiMH batteries supplied. Over time if you need to replace the batteries make sure they are of the same type as those supplied. Never use Alkaline batteries.

Private exchanges: if your phone is going to use a private exchange

(for example, if you have to dial ‘9’ to get an outside line, please follow the steps on page 103).

Connecting and charging your wrist shaker

Important: use only the power adapter supplied otherwise your wrist shaker may not work.

1 Position your charger unit

Make sure your charger unit:

• is on a dry, flat and stable surface

• isn’t a trip hazard with its power cable

• is at least one metre from other electrical appliances



2 Plug in the charger unit

Plug your charger unit into your power supply. And switch on at the socket.

3 Place the wrist shaker in the charger unit

When you place your wrist shaker on its charger unit, make sure its two connection points are facing down into the unit. You’ll know your wrist shaker is charging properly when you see a red light on it.

So it can charge fully, your wrist shaker needs to charge for at least 10 hours before you can use it. (make sure the power socket is switched on!).

Mains power wall socket

Note: when fully charged, your wrist shaker’s battery should last five days.

The larger red light will flash slowly when the battery is low and you will need to charge it for about another ten hours.



4 Switch your wrist shaker on

Press and hold the button for about five seconds. You’ll see the green light with the warning triangle come on.

Note: if the light flashes green then red it means your wrist shaker either isn’t registered or is out of range. Move closer to your PowerTel telephone to ensure you are within range. If the light still flashes, see page

100 for registration instructions.

Power on/off button

To switch your wrist shaker off, press and hold the button for about five seconds. The green light will go off.

You can now wear your wrist shaker and tighten comfortably with the velcro fastening.

Your telephones and wrist shaker are now ready for use!
