Setting up Follow these steps to get your DECTfax

ready to use

1 Pull the front cover towards you until it

clicks and holds itself open.

2 Press on the two green catches to release

the rear cover and tilt it backwards.

3 Without removing the clear securing band

and with the green end of the spool on the
left, place the ribbon roll into its housing
under the rear cover Push the right-hand
end of the spool against the spring and lower
the green end into place.

1 Installing the print ribbon and
smar tcard

The print ribbon and the smartcard work
together, and the fax will not work without the
smartcard. The print ribbon prints onto paper
and the smartcard monitors how much ribbon
has been used.

Warning

Use only print ribbons that match the supplier’s
specifications. Using other types may result in
damage to the main machine and invalidate the
manufacturer’s warranty.

Documents printed by your machine may be read
from the used print ribbon. If certain documents are
to be kept confidential, you may want to remove the
print ribbon whenever the machine is unattended.

Print ribbons

To obtain new print ribbons call 0800 590009.

4 Remove the clear securing band by pulling

the coloured tab. For the starter ribbon that
comes with the new machine, remove the
foam packing piece.

5 Gently pull the smaller spool towards you

and place it in its housing - there are two
slots that hold it in place.

6 To install the smartcard, remove the green

cover by pressing on the arrow and sliding it
away from you.

7 Press out the smartcard from the card

holding it.

8 Insert the smartcard into the slot with the

gold square facing towards you, and replace
the green cover.

firmly, making sure both green clips are
securely in place. If the smartcard is
incorrectly installed, or not in place, the
display shows MISSING GAUGE.

The radio module acts as a transmitter and
receiver for radio signals to and from the
handset(s). It goes at the back of the machine
on the right-hand side as you face it.

the module into the slot that runs along the
back of the machine.

2 Clip the top part into place by pulling the

module up and towards the machine.

3 Connect the cable to the socket on the side

of the machine.

6 Charging the handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable
NiCad battery. The charger uses a fast charge
system. For example, 10 minutes of charging
will give about 10 minutes of talk time. When
fully charged the battery should give up to 5
hours talk time and up to 50 hours standby.

When the handset is not in the charger, the
charging icon indicates the current level of
charge in the battery - 4 dots means the
handset is fully charged and 1 dot means the
charge is low.

IMPORTANT

The new handset may not be charged. It takes up to
12 hours to charge completely.

IMPORTANT

Use A4 paper of 80gsm. The paper should be non­transparent and not torn or crumpled.

IMPORTANT

It is important to have the document support bar
raised during printing to prevent paper feeding back
into the machine.

Multiple registration

You can use up to 4 handsets with your
DECTfax base station. A handset can be
registered with up to 4 DECT base stations.

For each handset to interact with the base
station, they must be registered with it. Your
handset is pre-registered with the base station
as handset number

1.

Once you have more than one handset
registered with your DECTfax base station,
you can transfer calls from the base station to a
handset, or from one handset to another.

To register a handset

A handset can be registered to the base station
only if the handset security code on the base
station matches the code on the handset. Both
these codes are preset to 0000, but you can
change the code at the base station to make it
possible to register a handset to the base only
with your authorisation.

If you want to keep the code as 0000 then you
can register handsets using the simple method.
If you want to change the code, or register a

handset to more than one base station,
handsets must be registered using the
customised method.

The simple method

Use this method if you have only one base
station and the handset security code is 0000.

1 At the handset press OK then 6. The

connection icon will flash.

2 At the base station press Function then 8

then 8. The display shows 88 HANDSET--

employing loop disconnect or MF signalling.

Ringing delay

The maximum number of rings before automatic answering is 9.

How many phones you can have

Your exchange line provides only a small current to make your
telephone ring. Although you may have any number of sockets it
is important to limit the number of telephones and other items of
apparatus connected to the line by these sockets. This ensures
that each telephone will receive enough current to ring.

Every telephone or item of apparatus has a Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN). In most cases a standard line should provide
enough current for two or more telephones or items of
apparatus, if the REN’s add up to no more than 4.

DECTfax has a REN of 1. Any telephone provided by BT may be
assumed to have a REN of 1 unless otherwise stated on the base.
Even where the number of telephones has been limited, there is
no guarantee that the different types of telephone on the same
line will ring.

Technical information

Warning

The apparatus is only designed to be operated in a normal office
or domestic environment where the relative humidity does not
exceed 60%. It should not be used in bathrooms or near water.

Voltage Drop

The voltage drop introduced between the PSTN and the
associated telephone is 2.0 Volts so therefore no additional series
equipment may be connected. The introduction of this voltage
drop may occasionally cause difficulties in making calls from the
associated telephone or problems in telephone conversation
being experienced by both parties to the call.

While operation may be possible initially, change to or
modernisation of the network taking place in the normal course
of events may result in the apparatus being connected to be
compatible, failure of the apparatus to work under these
circumstances may not be the responsibility of the network
operator.

In the unlikely event of such problems occurring, the user
should contact the supplier or maintainer of the apparatus.

Connecting to switchboards

Your DECTfax is approved only for use with a compatible
switchboard including those which do not provide secondary
proceed indication.

If you do have a compatible switchboard, it cannot be guaranteed
that the DECTfax will operate correctly under all possible
conditions of connection.
If you have any difficulties, contact BT on Freefone 0800 800 152
for business Customers or Freefone 0800 800 150 for
residential customers (9am to 5pm Monday to Friday).

Safety warnings

1 Interconnection circuits should be such that the equipment

continues to comply with the requirements of 4.2 of EN 41003
for TNV circuits and 2.3 of EN 60950 for SELV circuits, after
making connections between circuits.

2 Interconnection directly, or by way of other apparatus, of ports

marked “Safety Warning. See instructions for use” with ports
marked or not so marked may produce hazardous conditions
on the network. Advice should be obtained from a competent
engineer before such a connection is made.

3 When you operate this equipment, the electrical mains socket

should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.

How to connect the mains lead to a plug

Your apparatus comes complete with fitted plug. If however, it
becomes necessary to fit an alternative mains plug, the following
instructions must be adhered to.

Note

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:

Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live

Read the instruction carefully before connecting the mains lead
to a plug. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of the apparatus
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

Warning

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to
rain or any type of moisture.

Warning

This equipment is not designed for making telephone calls when
the power fails.

Alternative arrangements should be made for access to
emergency services.

Note

The definition of RBS (Relevant branch system) for PSTN lines
is given in BS6789 section 6.1 (1986) clause 2.4.
