Important note — emergency calls

The S2300 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

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 tele

­phone 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.

The charger pod can be wall mounted if you prefer,
using the template supplied.

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.

Connection
and conditions
for use

You can connect your S2300 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 S2300 as an extension to a
payphone.

4

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 S2300 has a REN of 1, and
most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked
otherwise.

Mains power
connection

IMPORTANT — the S2300 base unit and charger pod
must be used with the mains adapters supplied.

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

Electrical
safety

◆ DON’T 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, 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 S2300 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.

Before you start

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.
