Important note — emergency calls

The iDECT X1i is not designed for making emergency
calls if the mains power fails. So you should make
alternative arrangements for access to Emergency
Services.

(This means that you should also have a basic
phone, that does not need mains power, connected
to your line so that you can make calls during a
power failure.)

If you need help …

The Help Line is available from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm,
Monday to Friday, on

0845 345 9677

Calls are charged at Local Call rate.

Unpacking your iDECT X1i system

In the box are:

■

the cordless handset (up to four, depending on
which iDECT X1i system you’ve bought)

■

the base unit

■

two batteries and a battery compartment
cover for each handset

■

a telephone line cable for the base unit

■

a mains power lead and adapter for the base
unit

■

up to three charger pods, each with a separate
mains power lead and adapter, for multi-handset
systems

Keep the packaging materials in a safe place in
case you later need to transport the unit. Keep

your sales (till) receipt, which is your guarantee.

Before you can use the handset to make calls
you’ll need to fit and fully charge the batteries,
as described on pages 5 and 6. Please read the
notes on page 4 before you install the base unit.

The base unit and charger pod(s) should be placed on a
level surface, in a position where:

the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible

■

230-V

AC switched mains supply socket — never try

to lengthen the mains power cable

the base unit’s telephone line cable will reach your

pod does not have a telephone line connection)

it is not close to another telephone — this can cause

radio interference
it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or anywhere

■

else where it might get wet
it is not close to other electrical equipment — fridges,

■

washing machines, microwave ovens, fluorescent
lights, TVs etc.

To use your handset and base unit together, you must
be able to establish a radio link between them. Be
aware that:

■

Any large metal object — like a refrigerator, a mirror
or a filing cabinet — between the handset and the
base unit may block the radio signal.

■

Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the
signal strength.

IMPORTANT — The iDECT X1i base unit and charger
pod must be used with the mains adapter supplied with
the unit. Using any other adapter will result in non­compliance with EN60950, and will invalidate any
approval given to this apparatus.

Make sure mains power to the base unit stays switched

on. The iDECT X1i needs electrical power for normal
operation; not just for charging the batteries.

service provider, who will tell how much it will cost.

Caller Display lets you see the phone numbers of your
callers on the handset’s display, before you answer. The
iDECT X1i will store the numbers of the last 20 callers
(whether or not you answered the call) so you can call
them back later. When the Caller Display list is full, the
next incoming number will overwrite the oldest one.

If you’ve got new Caller Display records, the symbol
is shown on the display.

Registering new handsets

To register to
a different
brand of base
unit

Your iDECT X1i can be registered to any GAP­compatible base unit; or your can register other GAP­compatible handsets to your iDECT X1i base unit.

But we do not guarantee that all features or
display messages will be available using other
manufacturers’ equipment.

1 Follow the instructions in the base unit’s User Guide to

put the base unit into registration mode (for example,
step 7 on page 58).

2 Follow the instructions in the handset’s User Guide to

register the handset (for example, steps 1 to 5 on
page 58). If you need to enter a PIN for the base unit,
refer to the base unit’s User Guide.

The iDECT X1i must be serviced by trained engineers.

!

NEVER attempt any repairs or adjustments yourself
— you could make the problem worse and invalidate
the Guarantee.

Troubleshooting

ALWAYS check
first that:

“I cannot make

or answer calls.”

you have followed all the steps listed on pages 5 to 7

■

to install and set up your iDECT X1i
all connectors are firmly inserted in their sockets

■

mains power is switched on at the socket

■

the handset’s batteries are correctly and securely

■

installed, and are not run down

Everyday use

If the handset’s display is blank, it may be switched off.
Press the HANG UP button to switch it back on.

Check that the base unit’s mains power adapter is
plugged in and power is switched on. The base unit
needs mains power for normal operation of the phone
— not just for charging the batteries.

Make sure you’re using the telephone line cable that
was supplied with your iDECT X1i. Other telephone line
cables might not work.

Move the handset closer to the base unit.

Check the Battery Level symbol on the display. If it’s
low, replace the handset on the base unit or charger
pod to recharge the batteries.

If auto-answer is turned off (page 47), you need to
press any button (except HANG UP) on the handset to
answer an incoming call. Turn auto-answer on if you
want to answer calls by simply lifting the handset from
the base unit or charger pod.

Switch off power at the mains socket, wait for a few
seconds and then switch back on. This may help.

Troubleshooting

“I cannot make

a call.”

“When I press

keys, nothing
happens.”

“When I key in a

number, it
appears on the
display, but I
can’t make an
outside call.”

“The phone

does not ring”

“There is inter

ference and
noise on the
line.”

The handset’s keypad may be locked (see page 9).
Unlock it before you make a call.

Call barring may be set. Refer to pages 54 to 56 for
details.

Make sure the batteries are correctly fitted in your
handset. If the ‘battery charge level’ symbol on the
display shows ‘low’, recharge the batteries.

Try moving the handset closer to the base unit.

Try a different position for the base unit — somewhere
higher if possible, or further from other electrical
equipment.

If you have more than one registered handset, make
sure another handset isn’t already using the line.

Check that the base unit’s mains power adapter is
plugged in and power is switched on. The base unit
needs mains power for normal operation of the phone
— not just for charging the batteries.

Make sure you’re using the telephone line cable that
was supplied with your iDECT X1i. Other telephone line
cables might not work.

Check that the total REN value of all equipment
connected to your telephone line is no more than 4
(see page 3). Disconnect one or more telephones and
see whether that helps.

-

Move the handset closer to the base unit, or to a
different position.

Try moving the base unit so that it’s not near other
electrical equipment, such as a television or a
computer.

You’ll get the best results if you site the base unit as
high as possible. For example, in a two-storey house,

the first-floor landing is an ideal place for the base unit.

Troubleshooting

“My call was cut

off when I went
out of range.
Now I can’t use
my handset.”

“I hear ‘beeps’

from my
handset while
I’m on a call.”

“The Caller

Display feature
isn’t working.”

“When I try to

make a call, I
hear Busy
tone.”

“The volume in

the earpiece is
low when I’m
on a call.”

Move the handset closer to the base unit before you try
again to make a call.

You may be going out of range of the base unit. Move
closer, or your call may be cut off.

Check the ‘battery charge level’ symbol on the display.
If it is low, recharge the batteries.

You need to subscribe to the Caller Display feature.
Contact your service provider (BT or cable company).

The caller may have withheld their number by dialling

141. Or they may be calling from a network that does
not transmit the Caller ID (for example, it may be an
international call).

If you have more than one handset registered to your
base unit, make sure that another handset isn’t already
using the line.

Make sure you’re holding the earpiece correctly over
your ear.

Adjust the volume using the á or â button.

Troubleshooting

Using a multi-handset system

“I can’t transfer

a call.”

Make sure the other handset is in range of the base unit.

Make sure you’re dialling the correct number for the
other handset (1 to 6, or Ø for all registered handsets).

The answering machine

“The machine

won’t record
messages.”

“I can’t switch

the machine
on.”

“I can’t hear my

messages being
played back.”

“Remote

operation
doesn’t work.”

“The handset‘s

batteries are
running low
within an
hour or two.”

64

Make sure the answering machine is switched on.

The machine’s memory may be full. Delete some
messages to make room for new ones.

Check that outgoing message OGM1 is selected; with
OGM2 selected, callers can’t leave messages.

The machine’s memory may be full. Delete some or all
recorded messages (see page 36), then try again to
switch on.

Use the á or â button on the handset, to adjust the
volume in the earpiece or speakerphone.

Make sure you’re using the correct remote PIN
(page 41).

Check that you’re using a tone-dialling phone. Some
cordless or mobile phones don’t generate continuous
tones, so aren’t suitable for remote operation.

Batteries

Before you first used the handset, you should have left it
on the base unit or charger pod for up to 15 hours to
charge the batteries fully.

You may need to replace the batteries (see below).

Clean the battery charging contacts on the base unit
with a dry cloth.

Check the connections between the base unit and the
mains power socket.

Troubleshooting

“I try to

recharge the
batteries, but I
still get a
warning that
they are low.”

“The Recall

function doesn’t
seem to work.”

“Last Number

Redial and/or
memory dialling
don’t work on
a PBX.”

You need to replace the batteries. To find out how to
obtain replacements, call 0845 345 9677, between

9.00 am and 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday.

Dispose of used batteries safely — never burn them,
or put them where they could get punctured.

ALWAYS use the batteries supplied with your iDECT X1i

— other batteries may burst, causing damage.

PBX use

You may need to change the recall signal length from
its default of 100 ms. Consult your PBX documentation
for help if necessary. To change the recall setting, use

BASESETTING menu (page 52).

the

When you first make a call, after keying in the outside
line access code (e.g. 9), press and hold the Last
Number Redial button until a

P appears on the

display. This inserts a pause between the access code
and the telephone number. You should later be able to
redial the number.

When storing numbers in memory, you can include the
outside line access code (e.g. 9) with each number.

If your PBX requires you to wait for a second Dial tone
before dialling the telephone number, press and hold
the Last Number Redial button for a pause
between the access code and the number.

Troubleshooting

If the fault persists …

Disconnect all other instruments connected to the
same line as the iDECT X1i and see whether you can
make a call.

Disconnect the base unit from the telephone line and
plug a different phone into the master telephone
socket. Try making a call. If this works, the line is OK.

If the call does not work, and you are using a two-way
socket adapter, remove it and plug a telephone
directly into the socket. If the call now works, the
adapter may be faulty.

If you cannot make a call, the fault may be on the
exchange line. Contact the service provider (the BT
engineers on 151, or your cable company).

If you still cannot identify the cause of the problem,
contact the Help Line on 0845 345 9677.

Connection and conditions for use

You can connect your iDECT X1i to a direct exchange line (DEL) — a line
connected to a local exchange, with its own phone number; to an
extension socket connected to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved
compatible PBX. Do not connect the iDECT X1i as an extension to a
payphone.

The ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) of all instruments (phones,
fax machines, etc.) connected to an exchange line must not add up to
more than 4 — otherwise, one or more of them may not ring and/or
answer calls correctly. The iDECT X1i has a REN of 1, and most other
telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.
