in the event of a mains power failure.

Ensure the Paragon 400 Plus is disconnected from the telephone line.

To fit the battery.

1 Lift the cover.

2 Insert one LR61 battery (not supplied).

Battery low warning

The display indicates when the battery power is low. If no battery is inserted, it remains lit.

If you do not have a modern phone socket, call 0800 800 150 and ask for a BT engineer to come and fit the correct socket. This is a chargeable service.

4Check Dial Mode setting (default TB)

Use the dialling mode switch on the underside of your Paragon 400 Plus.

Your Paragon 400 Plus should be pre-set to TB which gives you Tone dialling. This ensures the phone will work with all modern digital exchanges.

6Plug the mains adaptor into the wall socket and switch on

If you do not get a dialling tone, try setting the dialling mode to P.

If you are connecting to a switchboard, check with your switchboard operator or communications manager which dialling mode you need. Your Paragon 400 Plus is approved for all compatible switchboards.

Note

For most switchboards the switch should be set to T.

The Paragon 400 Plus automatically goes through a start up process during which the display shows INITIALISING and the monitor light flashes.

On completion the unit display will show the time and number of messages.
