10 Intercom, transfer & conference

If you have a Activity 6210 Twin, Triple or Quad system, you already have two, three or four handsets. You can buy spare handsets and charger pods separately. Altogether, you can have up to five handsets registered to the base unit, as numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5.

With more than one handset registered to your base unit, you can

make intercom calls from one handset to another,

■

make a new intercom call while you are on an outside call

■

shuttle between an outside call and an intercom call

■

transfer an outside call from one handset to another

■

set up a three-way conference call between yourself, an outside call and an

■

intercom call

Each handset has its own number — 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 — which is shown on the right-hand side of the display.

Please note —

Among the handsets registered to a single base unit, only one outside call

■

and two intercom calls can take place at once. If you try to make an outside call while another handset is already on the line,

■

you will hear Busy tone. If you try to make an intercom call when one is already in progress, you will

■

hear Busy tone. When one handset is using the outside line, the EXT symbol will appear on

■

the displays of all other handsets.

Important note — emergency calls

The Activity 6210 is not designed for making emergency calls when 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.)

11 Handset registration

The handset(s) supplied with your Activity 6210 base unit are already

registered — the first one as handset number 1, the second as number 2. You don’t need to re-register them unless you have a problem.

To check whether a handset is registered, make sure mains power to the base unit is switched on and the handset is within range. The handset’s display should show its number, and the ‘signal level’ symbol on the display should show three bars. If the display shows not sub , you need to re-register the handset.

To register a new handset or to re-register a handset

1 Press HANDSET LOCATOR on the base unit for about 3 seconds

You hear two short beeps and the IN USE light flashes. You now have

3 minutes in which to register the handset.

2 Press MENU on the handset

(If the display does not show register at this point, press ▼ until it does.)

3 Press OK

BS 1 2 3 4 (These are base unit numbers.)

4 Key in 1 (base unit number 1)

(Or, if the handset is already registered to a different base unit, key in a base unit number that is not flashing.)

5 Key in your PIN (default 0000) and press OK

After a few moments, when the handset finds the base unit, a number*

appears on the display.

6 Press OK to confirm registration

The handset’s display should now show its name and number.

If the display still says not sub , go through the registration procedure again from step 1. If registration doesn’t work this time, call the Binatone Help Line for advice.

*This is the RFPI number, a universal DECT identity number. You won’t need it unless

you want to register your handset to a different brand of DECT base unit.

To de-register a handset

You may need to do this if you need to replace a faulty handset. Call the Binatone Help Line if you need more advice.

Registering to a different brand of base unit

Your Activity 6210 handsets can be registered to any GAP-compatible base unit; or you can register other GAP-compatible handsets to your Activity 6210 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 1 of the registration procedure listed here).

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

(for example, steps 2 to 5 listed here). If you need to enter a PIN code for the base unit, refer to the base unit’s User Guide.

If you have problems, contact the Binatone Help Line for more advice.

12 Operational notes

Electrical safety

DON’T let the base unit get wet. Electrical equipment can cause serious

■

injury if used while you are wet or standing in water. If the base unit ever falls into water, DON’T retrieve it until you have

■

unplugged the power lead from the mains and the telephone line plug from the telephone socket; then pull it out by the unplugged cables.

NEVER use your Activity 6210 outdoors during a thunderstorm — unplug

■

the base unit from the telephone line and the mains socket when there are storms in your area. Damage caused by lightning is not covered by the guarantee.

Siting the base unit and charger pod

The base unit and charger pod should each 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 telephone line cable will reach your telephone line socket or extension

■

socket (base unit only; charger pods have no connection to the telephone line)

it is not close to another telephone — this can cause radio interference

■

during calls 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, TVs, fluorescent lights, etc.

Radio signals between the handset and the base unit

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

Siting the base unit as high as possible will give better results — for example,

■

in a two-storey house, the best position may be on the first-floor landing. Any large metal object — like a refrigerator, a mirror or a filing cabinet —

■

between the handset and base unit may block the radio signal. Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the signal strength.

■

Interference

If the sound quality gets worse as you move around while on a call, this is probably due to interference between the handset and the base unit, perhaps because you are too near to another phone or other electrical equipment. Move to a different position to clear the interference. If you do not move, your call may be cut off.

Radio interference in the environment may occasionally cause a short break in the link between the handset and the base unit while you are on a call. The handset’s display will flash briefly, while the unit automatically changes to a different channel to restore the link.

Keeping the batteries charged

When you don’t need to carry your handsets around (for example, at night), leave them on the base unit or charger pod, to keep the batteries charged.

Whenever the battery charge level symbol on the display shows ‘nearly empty’, replace the handset on the base unit or charger pod.

‘Out of range’ warning

If you hear a warning tone during a call, and/or the sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted, you may be going out of range of the base unit. Move nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds, until the tone stops. Otherwise, your call may be cut off.

While you are out of range and you are not on a call, the handset’s display shows search and the ‘signal level’ symbol flashes. Before you make a call, you must move closer to the base unit until the handset’s name and number are displayed and the symbol stops flashing.

Cleaning and care

Don’t clean any part of your Activity 6210 with benzene, thinner or other

■

solvent chemicals — this may cause permanent damage which is not covered by the Guarantee. When necessary, clean it with a damp cloth.

Keep your Activity 6210 away from hot, humid conditions or strong

■

sunlight, and don’t let it get wet. Every effort has been made to ensure high standards of reliability for your

■

Activity 6210. However, if something does go wrong, please do not try to repair it yourself — consult your supplier or the Binatone Help Line.

13 Troubleshooting

The Activity 6210 must be serviced by trained engineers. NEVER attempt

any repairs or adjustments yourself — you could make the problem worse and invalidate the Guarantee.

ALWAYS check first that:

“I cannot make or

answer calls.”

“When I press

keys on the handset, nothing happens.”

■

you have followed the steps listed in Section 2 to install and set up your Activity 6210

■

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

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 Activity 6210. 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 is low, replace the handset on the base unit or charger pod to recharge the batteries.

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

If you still can’t make calls, try re-registering the handset.

Make sure the batteries are fitted in your handset. If the Battery Level symbol on the display shows ‘low’, recharge the batteries.

Press and hold the OK button until the handset comes to life. The OK button switches the handset on and off.

Check whether there’s a ‘key’ symbol on the display. If so, the keypad is locked. Turn to Section 8 to find out how to unlock it.

“When I press

keys on the handset, digits appear on the display, but I can’t make an outside call.”

“The phone does

not ring”

“My call was cut

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

“There is inter

ference, noise or echoing on the line.”

“When I press the

PHONE or SPEAKERPHONE button, I hear a loud noise.”

Call barring may have been set. See Section 7 for more information.

Try moving the handset closer to the base unit.

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

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 Activity 6210. Other telephone line cables might not work.

Check that you have not set the ringer volume to Off. See Section 6 for more information.

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

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

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 TV or a computer.

If you are using a routing box (smart socket), try disconnecting it then making a call. If the sound is OK without the routing box, that’s the cause of the problem.

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.

The strange noise is caused by interference. Disconnect the mains power lead from the back of the base unit, then wait for 30 seconds before reconnecting it.

“I hear ‘beeps’

from my handset while I’m on a call.”

“The volume in

the earpiece is low.”

“The Caller

Display feature isn’t working.”

“When I try to

make a call, I hear Busy tone and the IN USE light on the base unit does not come on.”

“I can’t transfer a

call.”

“The handset‘s

batteries are running low within an hour or two.”

“The CHARGE

light on the base unit does not come on.“

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

Check the Battery Level symbol on the display. If it shows ‘low’, recharge the batteries.

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

Adjust the volume as decribed in Section 6.

You need to subscribe to Caller Display from your service provider. Contact the service provider for details of how to subscribe.

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).

Check your handset’s display — if it says either not sub or

base.... , you need to re-register the handset.

If the display says search 1 , make sure the mains power lead is plugged into the back of the base unit, and the adapter is plugged into the mains socket with the power switched on.

If you have more than one handset registered to your base unit, check that another handset isn’t already in use on a call.

Intercom and transfer

Make sure the other handset is within range of the base unit, and is not busy on a call.

Make sure you are keying in the correct number (1 to 5) for the other handset.

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

Clean the battery charging contacts with a dry cloth.

Check the connections between the base unit and the mains

power socket.

“I try to recharge

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

“Last Number

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

“My Activity 6210

system won’t work properly on a PBX.“

You need to replace the batteries. Please note the following safety warnings:

■

Use only NiMH (Nickel metal hydride) 1.2 V AAA rechargeable batteries in the handset. The best way to make

sure you get the right batteries is to take the old ones with you when you go to buy new ones.

■

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

PBX use

When you first make a call, try pressing the CDS button for a pause between the outside line access digit (e.g. 9) and the tele

phone number. You should later be able to redial the number.

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

If your PBX requires you to wait for a second Dial tone before dialling the telephone number, press the CDS button for a pause between the access digit and the number.

You may need to change the recall setting. Call the Binatone Help Line for advice. It will help if you have your PBX documentation to hand when you make the call.

If the fault persists …

Disconnect all other instruments connected to the same line as the Activity 6210 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 Binatone Help Line on 0845 345 9677 Calls are charged at Local Call rate.
