Connections

Connecting to the telephone

Unplug the handset cord from your telephone and plug it into the handset

modular socket (14). Connect the BT Accord 30 to your telephone using the

phone cord provided (this cord has an RJ-11 modular plug on either end). Plug

one end of the cord to your telephone from where you unplugged your handset (A)

and the other end to the telephone base unit modular socket (15) on the back

of the BT Accord 30 (see illustration below).

Connecting the telephone headset

Insert the telephone headset plug into the RJ-11 modular socket (12) on the

front panel of the BT Accord 30. The headset socket will allow monaural (single

ear) use.

• For telephone only use you will not need to connect numbers 3, 4, 9, and 10

on the diagram on page 3.

Congratulations you are now connected!

Connecting to the computer

You may use the BT Accord 20 headset supplied or a computer headset if you

already have one. Computer headsets are typically stereo (both ears) and may be

more suitable for some applications (games etc).

To connect the BT Accord 30 to your computer you will need to use the long

cable supplied with two jack plugs at each end. Connect the plugs from one end

of the cable to the sockets (3, 4 on the diagram on page 3) matching the green

and blue colours on socket and plug. Make the same connections to your

computer’s sound card.

• For computer only use you will not need to connect numbers 12, 14, and 15

on the diagram on page 3.

Congratulations you are now connected!

Inserting batteries

The BT Accord 30 requires 2 x “AA” sized batteries (not supplied). To insert

batteries slightly depress the compartment lid and slide outwards. Install batteries

with polarities according to the battery diagram inside the compartment. Close the

lid and turn the power “on” (5). Alkaline batteries are recommended. If you find

that the volume is too low and you cannot adjust it then this is typically an

indication that the batteries need to be replaced.
