DECT

By purchasing your Diverse handset, you now own a product which combines the advantages of cordless operation with the perfor mance of a high quality telephone. It complies with the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard and offers unparalleled quality and features.

Setting up Follow these

steps to get your Diverse handset ready for use

Warning 1 Use only approved nickel-cadmium (NiCad)

rechargeable batteries. Never use other batteries or conventional alkaline batteries. Using such batteries could lead to a short circuit or destroy the battery casing. Recommended batteries should have a power rating of 600m Ah 1.2V. Batteries available from the Diverse helpline 0345 908070.

2 Do not try to use any power supply except

the one provided, other wise you may permanently damage your Diverse. It will also result in non-compliance with EN41003:1993, and will invalidate the approval given to this apparatus.

3 There is a slight chance that your phone

could be damaged by an electrical storm. We r ecommend that you unplug your Diverse from the mains power and telephone line socket during storms.

4 If you wear a hearing aid, please note that

the Diverse works by sending radio signals between the base unit and handset. These signals can interfere with hearing aids, causing a humming noise.

5 Diverse handset can interfere with other

electrical equipment e.g. answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radio/alarms and computers if placed too close. It is recommended to place your Diverse handset at least one metre away from such appliances to avoid any risk of interference.

6 It is possible that the Diverse handset may

be affected by being near bodies of water (e.g. ponds, lakes, the sea).

3 Charging the handset batteries for at least 16 hours

Before you use the handset, place it on the base unit or charging unit (available separately). 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.

Normal battery charging time.

After charging your Diverse for the first time, normal charging time for the handset batteries is about 4-5 hours. Batteries warm up when being charged; 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.

Battery low warning

flashes and handset beeps to warn you that the batteries are within 5-10 minutes of being completely f lat.
