Important note - emergency calls

This phone 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 or visit our website:

www.binatonetelecom.com

Unpacking your iDECT system

In the box are:

■ the cordless handset (up to four, depending on which DECT system

you’ve bought)

■ the base unit

■ one battery pack 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.

1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the following:

1) Read and understand all the instructions.

2) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

3) Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not

use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

4) Keep your phone away from hot, humid condition or strong sunlight,

and don't let it get wet or use the product near water. (for example, a

5) Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in

the risk of fire or electric shock.

6) Unplug this product from the wall outlet and contact the Help Line

under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

• If the product has been dropped and the cabinet has been

damaged.

• If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

NEVER use your DECT system outdoors during a thunderstorm,

unplug the base from the telephone line and the mains socket when

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the

leak.

Use only the supplied NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries! The

operation periods for the handsets are only applicable with the default battery capacities.

10) The use of other battery types or non- rechargeable batteries/primary

cells can be dangerous and may cause interference and/or damage

11) Do not use third party charging bays, as they may cause damage to

the batteries.

12) Please ensure the battery pack is plugged in the handset correctly.

13) Dispose of batteries safely. Do not immerse in water, burn them or

put them where they could get punctured.

bath bub, kitchen sink, swimming pool).

there are storms in your area. Damage caused by lightning is not covered by guarantee.

to the unit or surroundings. The manufacturer will not be held liable for damage arising from such non-compliance.

Connection and conditions for use:

You can connect your iDECT system to a direct exchange line (DEL) on 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 as an extension to a payphone.

The ringer equivalence numbers (REN) of all equipment (phones, fax machines, modems, 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 system has a REN of 1, and most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

To use your handset and base together, you must be able to establish a radio link between them. The signal between the handset and base is in accordance with the normal standards for a DECT phone: Maximum range up to 300 metres outdoors or 50 metres indoors.

The signal range may decrease if there is any large metal object between the handset and the base, such as a refrigerator, a mirror, a filing cabinet, metallic doors, or reinforced concrete. The signal strength may also be reduced by other solid structures like walls, or by other radio or electrical interference.

INSTALL YOUR PHONE2

2.1 Connect the Base Statio n

1) Plug the power supply and the line cord into the base station.

2) Plug the power adaptor into a 230Vac, 50HZ mains socket, and the line cord into your telephone line socket.

3) Always use the cables provided in the box.

Warning: Use only the power adaptor supplied, using another power supply

may cause a hazard, and will result in non-compliance with EN60950, which will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus.

Warning: The power adaptor should be plugged in near the equipment and

be easily accessible.

NOTE: The base unit needs mains power for normal operation, not just for

charging the handset batteries.

NOTE: Do not install close to another telephone or other electrical

equipment - this can cause interference.

RED

BLACK

2.2 If you have a Broadband line

If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband connection, you will need to insert a microfilter (not included) between the telephone and the telephone line, otherwise you may get interference between the telephone and the broadband, which could cause problems.

In a home with broadband, every telephone must have a microfilter connected, not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is connected to. If you need more broadband microfilters, contact your broadband supplier.

2.3 Install and Charge the Batteries

1) Slide the battery compartment cover off the

back of the handset.

2) Insert the rechargeable battery pack as

shown with the battery plugged into the small socket in the battery compartment.

3) Slide the battery compartment cover back on

the handset.

4) Put the handset on the base and charge the

battery for 15 hours before using for the first time. The handset will give a beep when it is properly placed on the base or charger.
