WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Avoid exposure of this telephone to moisture or liquid.
To prevent electric shock, do not open the handset or base cabinet.
Do not use the handset in an explosive hazard area such as where there is gas leaking.
Do not use your telephone during an electrical thunderstorm as it is possible to get an electric
shock. Refer to information contained in the White Pages Directory.
As there is a slight chance that the telephone could be damaged by an electrical storm, it is
recommended that users unplug the phone from the mains supply and telephone socket during
an electrical storm.
We advise that this phone should not be used near intensive care medical equipment or by
persons with pacemakers.
Because the phone works by sending radio signals between base station and handset, wearers
of hearing aids may experience interference in the form of a humming noise.
Your phone can interfere with electrical equipment such as answering machines, TV and radio
sets, clock radios and computers if placed too close. It is recommended that you position the
base unit at least one metre from such appliances.
This telephone complies with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves
(EMR). The mean power of this telephone does not exceed 20mW limit at which point testing is
required.
The earpiece of the handset may attract small metal objects such as staples and pins. Care
should be taken when placing the handset near these items.
This telephone is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the mains power
fails. Always have a corded phone available to be able to make calls to emergency services if
the mains power fails.
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone.
Clean with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents, particularly aggressive
solvents.
• This phone is designed for connection to a PSTN telephone line or an analogue extension port of
a PBX system. If you connect this device to a digital extension of a PBX system, damage may
result to the PBX.
CAUTION
Use only the mains adaptors supplied with
this product. Incorrect adaptor polarity or
voltage can seriously damage the unit.
Adaptor for base:
Input:100~240VAC 50Hz/60Hz 150mA
Output: 6.5VDC 400mA
Adaptor for Charger:
Input:100~240VAC 50Hz/60Hz 100mA

GETTING STARTED
Getting Started
Installation and Charger
1. Connect the mains adaptor (supplied) to the socket on the back of the base unit
and to the wall mains supply.
2. Connect the telephone cord to the phone socket on the back of the base unit and
into the wall phone socket.
Note: In Australia some phone wall sockets are the old non modular style. If
you have this type of wall socket you will need to purchase a “modular
converter plug” (not supplied). These can be obtained from electronic
stores.
Important: DOYOU HAVE BROADBAND/ADSL?
If you do, you must connect an in line filter (not supplied) between the telephone socket
and your eco5100 base to ensure that your broadband and eco5100 will work properly.
If you do not install the filter you will experience interference on the eco5100 and your
Broadband may suffer dropouts. Please refer to the user guide of the in line filter for
installation.
. Insert 2 rechargeable Ni-MH AAA batteries (included),
observing the correct polarity, into the battery compartment
on the handset. Slide the battery door firmly into place.
3
. Place the handset on the charging cradle and charge the bat-
teries for a full 15 hours before using it for the first time.
4
Tip!
It is good practice to put the cordless handset on the charging cradle when it is not in
use to ensure that the handset is always fully charged.

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. Never
use non-rechargeable batteries. Use recommended type supplied with this product.
Never use alkaline or lithium batteries.
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire, as they can explode.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and can cause

Avoid contact with metal objects when handling the battery. These objects could short
out the batteries or cause the conductor to overheat resulting in burns.
Do not attempt to recharge the battery cell by heating it. Sudden release of battery
electrolyte can cause burns or irritation to the eyes or skin.
Observe the proper polarity, or direction, of any battery. Reverse insertion of the
battery cell can result in leakage or explosion.
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the product for several months at a
time.
Followthelocalregulationsregardingthedisposalofyourpackingmaterials, exhausted
batteries and used phone. Wherever possible, recycle those materials.
