the Orcon Genius handset display screen.

Power up the Orcon Genius handset. Please only use the rechargeable batteries.

Using conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries could pose health risks and cause

damage to the handset.

Caution: risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used

batteries according to the instructions.

1. Insert the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.

2. To close the battery cover, hold it at a slight angle and push it onto the handset,

bottom first.

On the handset

The phone handset that arrived with Orcon Genius is already registered and paired

with the main device so is ready to go.

You should now be able to make and receive phone calls. We suggest you treat

yourself to takeaways tonight and call your friendly pizza shop to test it out.
