Binatone E3300 User Manual

Important note — emergency calls

The e3300 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

01325 304 473

Unpacking your e3300

In the box are:

■

the cordless handset (one for a Single system,
two/three for a Twin/Triple system)

■

the base unit

■

rechargeable 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

■

if you have a Twin or Triple system, one or two
charger pods, each with a separate mains
power lead and adapter.

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.

Where to find it

Before you can use the handset to make calls
you will need to fit and fully charge the

Connection and conditions for use

You can connect your e3300 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 e3300 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 e3300 has a REN of 1, and most other
telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

Read these notes first

Choosing a
site for 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 base unit’s telephone 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.

Radio signals
between
handset and
base unit

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.

Mains power
connection

IMPORTANT —

■

The e3300 base unit must be used with mains
adapter, part no. XX002136D, supplied with the
unit.

■

The e3300 charger pod must be used with mains
adapter, part no. XX002137D, supplied with the unit.

Using any other adapter will result in non-compliance
with EN60950, and will invalidate any approval given to
this apparatus.

Before you use the handset for the
first time, it is important to charge
the batteries fully.

Before you start

Electrical
safety

◆

DO NOT let the base unit or charger pod get wet.
Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used
while you are wet or standing in water.

◆

If the base unit (or the 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; then pull it out by the
unplugged cables.

◆

NEVER use your e3300 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.

Interference If the sound quality gets worse as you move around

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.

‘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.

for more advice.

Customising — general points

You can customise the settings of your e3300 handset
and base unit using a menu which is shown on the
handset’s display. Please note that:

■

If you have set a PIN code for your handset and/or
your base unit (see pages 23 and 27), you will need
to key it in after you press PROG 1 (handset) or
PROG 2 (base unit) to make changes. The instructions
in this User Guide assume that you have not set a
PIN.

■

If you don’t press any button for about 25 seconds,
the handset will time out and the display will return
to standby mode.

■

When you confirm any setting you have made, you’ll
hear a confirmation tone. If you make a mistake,
you’ll hear a warning tone.

Indirect Network

You can use this feature if you make some of your calls
via a different network from the one that supplies your
exchange line. By using indirect access to an alternative
network, you may be able to save money on long­distance and international calls. When you subscribe to
an alternative network provider, they will send you a

network access code

To route calls over the alternative network, you need to
key in the access code each time you make a call. Your
e3300 can do this automatically when you dial a long­distance or international number (beginning with 0),
either manually or from memory.

For local calls (numbers not beginning with 0), the
e3300 will not dial the network access code; so these
calls will be routed over your local network. You can
also set two ‘local’ dialling codes, beginning with 0, for
which the network access code won’t be dialled.

The network access code and the additional ‘local’
dialling codes are set on the base unit, and apply to all
registered handsets. But you need to turn the Indirect
Network feature on and off on individual handsets.

To set the
network
access code

1 Press the PROG button then 2 4 0

2 Key in the network access code (up to six

digits)

3 Press the PHONE button to confirm

32

To set
additional

‘local’ dialling

codes

1 Press the PROG button then 2 4 1

2 Key in the first dialling code (up to 6 digits)

3 Press the PHONE button to confirm

4 Press the PROG button then 2 4 2

5 Key in the second dialling code (up to 6 digits)

6 Press the PHONE button to confirm

To turn
Indirect
Network on
and off

You need to do this on each handset.

1 Press the PROG button then 1 4

2 Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to set:

0 for Indirect Network off
1 for Indirect Network on

3 Press the PHONE button to confirm

When you make a call, the handset will dial the network
access code when you dial a number beginning with 0,
except when it’s to one of the ‘local’ codes you have set.
When a call is routed via Indirect Network,

LC is shown

on the display.

!

Note — for Indirect Network to work, you must dial
the phone number (or select it from memory, LNR
memory or Caller Display memory) before you press
the PHONE button for an outside line.

Troubleshooting

!

The e3300 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:

■

you have followed all the steps listed on pages 4 and
5 to install and set up your e3300

■

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

“I cannot make

or answer calls.”

If the handset’s display is blank, it may be switched off.
Press the HANG UP/C 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 e3300. 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.

34

“I cannot make

a call.”

The handset’s keypad may be locked (see page 7).
Unlock it before you make a call.

Call barring may have been set (see page 28). Check
with the user of the base unit.

“When I press

keys, nothing
happens.”

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

“When I key in a

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

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.

“The phone

does not ring”

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 e3300. 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 2). Disconnect one or more telephones and see
whether that helps.

“My call was cut

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

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

Troubleshooting

Binatone Help Line: 01325 304 473 35

“There is inter-

ference and
noise on the
line.”

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.

“I hear ‘beeps’

from my
handset while
I’m on 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 Level symbol on the display. If it is
low, recharge the batteries.

“The Caller

Display feature
isn’t working.”

You need to subscribe to the Caller Display feature from
BT or your service provider.

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).

“When I try to

make a call, I
hear Busy
tone.”

If you’re using a e3300 Twin system, or have extra
handsets registered to your base unit, check that
another handset isn’t already in use on a call.

“The volume in

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

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

Adjust the volume using the ▲ or ▼ button.

Troubleshooting

36

Using a multi-handset system

“I can’t transfer

a call.”

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

Make sure you’re dialling the correct number for the
other handset (1 to 6, or 9 for all registered handsets).

Customising the handset and base unit

“When I try to

change the
settings of my
handset and/or
base unit, I hear
a warning
tone.”

Have you set a PIN code for your handset and/or base
unit? If so, you need to key it in after pressing PROG 1
or PROG 2 before you can make any changes. If you’ve
forgotten your PIN, you’ll need to reset the handset
and/or base unit as described on pages 26 and 31.

Indirect Network

“The Indirect

Network feature
isn’t working.”

You must subscribe to an alternative network
provider before you can use this feature.

If you have more than one registered handset, you need
to turn the feature on for each one individually, as well
as setting the network access code on the base unit.

When making a call, you must dial the number (or
select the number from memory, LNR memory or Caller
Display memory) before you press the PHONE button
for an outside line.

Troubleshooting

Binatone Help Line: 01325 304 473 37

Batteries

“The handset‘s

battery pack is
running low
within
an hour or
two.”

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 battery pack (see below).

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.”

You need to replace the battery pack.

To find out how to obtain a replacement, call the
Binatone Spares Department on 01325 304 473,
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.

PBX use

“The Recall

function doesn’t
seem to work.”

You may need to press and hold the R button for a
couple of seconds, rather than pressing it briefly. Try this
and see if it works.

“Last Number

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

When you first make a call, press the LNR/CDS/P
button for a pause between the outside line access
code (e.g. 9) 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.

Troubleshooting

38

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

You can also set up your e3300 so that it automatically
inserts a 2-second pause after you dial the outside line
access code, as follows:

1 Press the PROG button then 2 5 0

2 Key in the line access code (up to four digits)

3 Press the PHONE button to confirm

If the fault
persists …

◆

Disconnect all other instruments connected to the
same line as the e3300 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 01325 304 473.

Troubleshooting

Binatone Help Line: 01325 304 473 39

Cleaning and care

◆

Do not clean any part of your e3300 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 e3300 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 e3300. However, if something does
go wrong, please do not try to repair it yourself —
consult your supplier or the Binatone Help Line.
