You can use up to six handsets on each Diverse base station, up to four base stations can be used with each Diverse handset to build up a comprehensive and easy to use cordless telephone system. Also available are additional chargers, to allow you to maintain the charge of your handset other than at the base station, and an Executive handset with advanced operational features. Although this user guide applies to both single and multiple handset systems, some functions described in this guide apply only to Diverse 2010 phones with more than one handset connected.

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

Follow these steps to get your Diverse 2010 ready for use.

Warning

1For the handset use only approved nickelcadmium (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 leak proof batteries.

2Do not try to use any power supply except the one provided, otherwise you may permanently damage your Diverse 2010. 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 2010 works by sending radio signals between the base station and handset. These signals can interfere with hearing aids, causing a humming noise.

5Diverse 2010 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 2010 at least one metre away from such appliances to avoid any risk of interference.

6Working range is dependant on local environment ie buildings, trees etc. It is possible that the Diverse’s 2010 range may be affected by being near bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, the sea.

7Do not submerge any part of the phone, base station or batteries in water or use in a damp environment, such as a bathroom.

8Do not expose to fire.

9The handset may not be operated in rooms with explosive hazards.

10Make sure you connect the power and telephone lines to the correct sockets in the base station.

11Do not dispose of used batteries in the normal household rubbish.

12Only the plug-in power supply unit supplied (details on the underside of the base station) may be used.

General cleaning

Simply clean the handset and base station with a damp (not wet) cloth or antistatic wipe. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock. Never spray cleaning fluid directly onto the telephone.

Plan where you will put your Diverse 2010. It should be within two metres of a power socket and the phone socket.

1. Connect the power cable.

Plug the power cable into the power socket on the underside of your Diverse 2010. Take care that the telephone line cord and power cable plugs are connected to the correct sockets. Incorrect placement could damage the station.

2. Plug the 3 pin adaptor into a mains power socket and switch on.

Use only the power adaptor

C39 280 -Z4 -C67 with your Diverse 2010.

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

WARNING

It is recommended that the line cord is not connected until the handset is fully charged. This will prevent the risk of the phone being answered prior to the batteries being fully charged and therefore not achieving their optimum capacity.

5 Install the rechargeable batteries in the handset

The handset uses the two AA size nickel cadmium (NiCad) batteries, which are supplied. To install them, insert the batteries as indicated on the label inside the battery compartment and slide the battery compartment cover shut.

The battery compartment cover may be found in the packaging with the batteries.

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 rechargeable batteries are available from the Diverse Helpline 0345 908070 and the BT Shop.

6 Fit the handset Belt clip

7. Charge the handset batteries for at least16 hours.

Battery display when inserting or replacing a battery

When you replace the handset batteries with ones that have been fully charged, the battery indicator will not show full until the next charge cycle has been completed. Charge the handset until the batteries register full again. From then on the display will be correct.

Place the handset on the base. The handset can be charged face up or down. Make sure that the contacts on the bottom end of the handset are touching both charging contacts.

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 2010 is ready to use.

Battery performance

After charging your Diverse 2010 for the first time, subsequent charging time for the handset batteries is approximately 4-5 hours. Batteries and case may become warm during charging. This is normal and not dangerous.

Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give about 7 hours talktime or 60 hours standby on a single charge (both standby and talk time is reduced for the Diverse 2000 Executive Handset to approximately 50 hours standby and 6 hours talktime). However, new NiCad batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

Please note that the lifespan of NiCad rechargeable batteries depends on how heavily they are used. However, over time, their capacity to recharge will begin to diminish and they will eventually need replacing.

Battery low warning

An LCD on the handset display shows the current charging level. When the batteries are almost flat a beep sounds and the display shows the empty battery symbol. Displays showing that charging is in progress are listed below:

Batteries fully charged

Batteries at 66%

Batteries at 33%

Batteries empty

Getting the most out of your batteries

Avoid replacing the handset on the base station between calls. It is best to keep the handset off the base for a few hours at a time.

8

If the symbol flashes

continuously, it means the handset is either out of range or is not registered with the base station. To register, follow the steps on page 26. All additional handsets you purchase will need to be individually registered with the base station before they will work with the Diverse 2010.

Thesymbol may also flash after a power failure. Provided the handset has been registered with the base, thesymbol will stop flashing after a while indicating the handset has automatically re-registered to the base station. If it continues to flash, reregister the handset to the base station.

Please note: If you go out of range of a base station 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.
