INTRODUCTION

Safety information

General

Do not open the Converse 2015. This could
expose you to high voltages or other risks.
Contact the Helpline for all repairs.

Cleaning

Simply clean your Converse 2015 with a damp
(not wet) cloth, or an antistatic wipe.

Never use household polish as this may
damage the product.

Never use a dry cloth as this may cause
static shock.

Environmental

Do not expose to direct sunlight.

We recommend that you do not place the
product on antique/veneered wood to avoid
damage.

Do not stand your product on carpets or
other surfaces which generate fibres, or place
it in locations preventing free flow of air over
its surfaces.

Do not submerge any part of your product
in water and do not use it in damp or humid
conditions, such as in bathrooms.

Do not expose your product to fire, explosive
or other hazardous conditions.

7

Plan the location

Situate your Converse 2015 close enough to a
phone socket so that the line cord will reach.

Your Converse 2015 can be wall-mounted. See
‘Wall-mounting’, on page 22.

Setting up

2 Plug your Converse 2015 into the

telephone sockets

3 Set the Line1/Line 2 switch

If connecting one telephone line cord:

Set the switch to Line 1. (Make sure the
telephone cord is plugged into the Line 1
socket). This line is used for all calls including
data communications and the data port is
automatically linked to Line 1.

Note

When using the data port with only one line
connected, the line will be in use so you will
not be able to make or receive voice calls.

SETTING UP

1 Connect the handset

Plug one end of the coiled cord into the handset
and the other end into the socket on the left
side of the base

Place the handset on the hook.

4 Set the Ring/MW1/MW2 switch

If your switchboard provides compatible
signalling (dc voltage switching) to indicate
message waiting you will need to move the
switch to either MW1 or MW2 to enable the
indication.

Ring Message Waiting is switched off.

The Calls/Messages light indicates
incoming calls only.

MW1 Message Waiting is switched on.

The Calls/Message light will indicate both
incoming calls and when the switchboard
has taken a voice message for you. For
voice messages the lamp will flash or be
permanently on, depending on the type of
switchboard it is connected to.

MW2 Message waiting is switched on. This

setting provides the same indication as
MW1 but should only be used if MW1
results in a permanently ON light without
any voice messages waiting. This setting
corrects some line conditions.

5 Desk mounting

If preferred, you can attach the desk/wall mount
to the base of your phone to raise it up at a
convenient angle.

To wall mount,

see page 22.

Your Converse 2015 is now ready for use
