The Celestia 400 must be serviced by trained
engineers. NEVER attempt any repairs or
adjustments yourself — you could make the
problem worse and invalidate the Guarantee.

Always make sure your Celestia 400 is fully
plugged into the telephone line socket and the
mains power socket.

Check that the ringer volume is not set to .

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.

Disconnect all other instruments connected to
the same line as the Celestia 400 and see
whether you can make a call.

Disconnect the Celestia 400 from the
telephone line and plug a telephone into the
socket. Try making a call. If this works, the line
is OK.

If 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 think the fault may be on the exchange
line, contact the service provider (the BT
engineers on 151, or your cable company).

Installation

SAFETY WARNING

Do not install the
Celestia 400 where it
might get wet

The Celestia 400 should be installed where the
mains power cable will reach a 230V AC, 50 Hz
switched socket. NEVER try to lengthen the
mains power cable.

You can either wall mount the unit, using the
template supplied, or stand it on a flat surface.

If you leave the unit free-standing, you can fit
the support stand as shown, for the best
position, or in the front slot.

You need to have a telephone connected to your line as well as
your Celestia 400. If you wish to connect both units to the same
telephone line socket, use a two-way adapter (‘splitter’) widely
available from retailers.
Alternatively, you can connect the phone and the
Celestia 400 to different extension sockets.

MAINS

SLIDE INTO PLACE

The Celestia 400 must be used with mains
adapter, part no. XX002104D, supplied with
the unit. Using any other adapter will result in
non-compliance with EN41003, and will
invalidate any approval given to this apparatus.

Deleting Caller ID records

Up to 50 Caller ID records are stored in the Celestia 400’s memory. When the Caller ID
memories are full, new records will overwrite the oldest ones. Caller ID records are
shown on the display as described on page 1. As you check each new record, it is
added to the ‘old record’ count.

Refer to the Remote Operation card for details of how to phone in from elsewhere
and check whether you have messages.

Note that, if the answering machine is turned off, the Celestia 400 will answer calls
after 16 rings, but it will not record messages unless you turn it on using your
remote security code.

During remote operation, the Celestia 400 will pause playback and ‘beep’
after 3 minutes. Press any key within 10 seconds to continue message
playback; otherwise, your call will be cut off.

Remote operation

To set your security code for remote operation, refer to page 7.
