Important note — emergency calls

The Big Button 510 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.)

If you need help …

The Binatone 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 Big Button 510 system

In the box are:

■

■

a mains power lead and adapter for the base unit

Connection and conditions for use

You can connect your Big Button 510 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 Big Button 510 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 Big Button 510 has a REN of 1, and most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

Choosing a site for the base unit and charger pod

Radio signals between handset and base unit

Mains power connection

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

■

telephone line socket or extension socket (the charger 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 Big Button 510 base unit and charger pod must be used with the mains adapter supplied with the unit. Using any other adapter will result in non-compliance with EN60950, and will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus.

Battery safety Only use the rechargeable batteries supplied with the

handset. DON’T use non-rechargeable batteries — they may burst, causing damage.

◆

Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used while you are wet or standing in water.

If the base unit or charger pod ever falls into water, DO

◆

NOT retrieve it until you have unplugged the power lead from the mains and the telephone line plug from the telephone socket (base unit only); then pull it out by the unplugged cables.

NEVER use your Big Button 510 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.

while on a call, this is probably caused by 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 restores the link.

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.
