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:

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 rmly 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 rst time.
