Introduction
Introducing the Diverse1015
Your Diverse 1015 is designed for ease of use and made to the high standards set by BT.
We thank you for making the right choice and expect that your Diverse 1015 will give you many years of quality service. Please read the instructions carefully before use and retain this user guide for future reference.
DECT
By purchasing your Diverse 1015 you now own a product which combines the advantages of digital cordless operation with the performance of a high quality telephone. It complies with the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard and offers unparalleled quality and features.
Building up a phone system
You can use up to six handsets on each Diverse 1015 base unit and up to four base stations with your Diverse handset to build up a comprehensive and easy-to-use cordless telephone system. This user guide applies to both single and multiple handset systems. The ‘internal’ functions described in this guide apply only to Diverse 1015 phones with more than one handset connected.
For your records
Date of purchase: Place of purchase: Serial number:
(on the underside of the telephone base unit)
Purchase price:
For warranty purposes, proof of purchase is required, so please keep your receipt.
This space is left for you to record your system and handset PIN codes, refer to page 16 & 17.
Handset PIN code
System PIN code
Check that your Diverse 1015 is complete. When you unpack you should have:
•Diverse 1015 base unit
•Diverse 1015 handset
•Power adaptor
•Handset carrying clip
•Two nickel cadmium (NiCad) rechargeable batteries.
•Telephone line cord
As this product is rechargeable, it is normal that a certain amount of heat will be produced in its day- to-day operation. Whilst this is entirely safe we would advise against placing this product on antique, veneered or wooden surfaces as damage may occur.

Setting up
Setting up
Follow these steps to get your Diverse 1015 ready .
Warning
1For the handset use only approved nickel-cadmium (NiCad) rechargeable batteries. Never use other batteries or conventional alkaline batteries. They could lead to a short circuit or destroy the battery casing. Recommended batteries should have a power rating of 600m Ah 1.2V. Batteries are available from the Diverse Helpline 0345 908070. For the back-up box use only alkaline non rechargeable unleakable batteries.
2Do not try to use any power supply except the one provided, otherwise you may permanently damage your Diverse 1015. It will also result in non-compliance with EN41003:1993, and will invalidate the approval given to this apparatus.
3There is a slight chance that your phone could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug your Diverse from the mains power and telephone line socket during storms.
4If you wear a hearing aid, please note that the Diverse 1015 works by sending radio signals between the base unit and handset. These signals can interfere with hearing aids, causing a humming noise.
5Diverse 1015 can interfere with other electrical equipment such as answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radio/alarms and computers if placed too close. You are recommended to place your Diverse 1015 at least one metre away from such appliances to avoid any risk of interference.
6It is possible that the Diverse’s 1015 range may be affected by being near bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, the sea.

3 Connecting the optional back-up box
The battery back-up box is optional equipment and may be purchased from the Diverse helpdesk 0345 908070. Phone for prices. The battery back-up box allows an emergency, or other, calls to be made in the event of a mains failure. The back-up box allows calls to be made for up to 4 hours. The back-up box requires
6 x AA batteries which allows you to make calls in the event of a power failure.
If you are not fitting the back-up box then please proceed to step 5.
•To remove the cover, squeeze together the clips on the back of the back-up box (1).
•Lift off the cover from one end (2).

Setting up
7 Installing the rechargeable batteries in the handset
The handset uses the two AA size nickel cadmium (NiCad) batteries supplied. Hold the handset with the keypad facing down and slide up to open the battery compartment.
Insert the batteries as indicated on the label inside the battery compartment and slide the battery compartment cover shut.
Important
When replacing batteries always use good quality nickel cadmium (NiCad) rechargeable AA types with at least 600mAh capacity in order to achieve the specified operating time. Never use other batteries or conventional alkaline batteries.
They could result in a short circuit or destroy the battery casing. Recommended batteries are Panasonic P-50 AA, Sanyo N-3UN or N-3UC, Philips R6NC-P, SAFT RC 6, DAIMON Accu 1000 and UCAR RC 6. Batteries are available from the
Diverse Helpline 0345 908070.
8 Fitting the handset carrying clip
Fit the carrying clip onto the back of the handset.
Tab
Slot
9 Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 hours
Place the handset on the base. The handset can be charged face up or down.
When the handset batteries are charging, the green CHARGING light comes on – it goes off when the battery is fully charged. It will come on again occasionally to indicate that the battery is being topped up.
When the handset battery has been charged for 16 hours, the Diverse 1015 is ready to use.
Normal battery charging time
After charging your Diverse 1015 for the first time, normal charging time for the handset batteries is 4-5 hours. Batteries and case become warm during charging. This is normal and not dangerous.
Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give about 6.5 hours talktime or 60 hours standby on a single charge. However, new NiCad batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

Setting up
Battery low warning
flashes and handset beeps to warn you
that the batteries are within 5-10 minutes of being completely flat.
Getting the most out of your batteries
Avoid replacing the handset on the base unit between calls. It is best to keep the handset off the base for a few hours at a time.
If the symbol flashes continuously, it means the handset is either out of range or is not registered with the base unit. To register, follow the steps on page 44. All additional handsets you purchase will need to be individually registered with the base unit before they will work with the Diverse 1015.
The symbol may also flash after
a power failure. Provided the handset has been registered with the base, the symbol will stop flashing after a while indicating the handset has automatically re-registered to the base unit.
If it continues to flash, re-register the handset to the base unit - see page 44.
Please note: If you go out of range of a base unit for a long time while your handset is switched ON, it may take more than 20 minutes to ‘find’ the base station again when you come back within range.
However, by simply switching the handset OFF for a moment, then ON again, it will find the base station within a few seconds.

Using and changing the system code and handset PIN
As a digital phone system, your Diverse 1015 provides excellent security against others ‘listening in’ to your calls. You can also prevent unauthorised use of the handset(s). Each handset needs to be registered with the base unit. To do this you need to know and use the system code.
The factory setting for both the system code and handset PIN is 0000. If you do not wish to change either, you can use this number for all code and PIN - related functions.
If you want to use remote access
(i.e. call your Diverse 1015 from another phone to play back your messages) you will need to change the system code from 0000.
For instructions on using remote access, see page 33.
Using your
Diverse 1015
To change a system code for the Diverse 1015 base unit
This protects your settings and helps prevent unauthorised handsets using your system.
