Introduction
Please read the instructions car efully
before use and retain this user guide for
future reference. For comprehensive
instructions see your main Diverse user
guide.
Building up a phone system
You can add further handsets to build
up a comprehensive and easy-to-use
cordless telephone system. You can use
up to six separate handsets (8 with the
Diverse 2-Line and Diverse ISDN) with
each Diverse base station and up to four
base stations with each handset. Please
refer to your base station user guide for
more comprehensive information of the
configurations that are possible.
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 the phone
on antique, veneered or wooden surfaces
as damage may occur.

5
WARNING
1 Use only approved nickel-cadmium
(NiCad) rechargeable batteries.
Never use any other batteries, or
conventional alkaline batteries.
Using such batteries could destroy
the battery casing, which is
dangerous.
Recommended batteries should have a
power rating of 600m Ah 1.2V.
Suitable batteries are listed on page 7
(batteries are available from the Diverse
helpline on 0345 908070 and your
local BT shop).
2 Do not combine different batter y types
in the same handset.
3 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.
4 Do not use non-BT Diverse charging
units; this could damage the batteries.
5 Research has shown that in certain
cases, medical equipment can be
affected by cor dless telephones. A
distance of at least one metre should
therefore be obser ved between the
telephone and medical equipment. All
regulations on the usage of cordless
phones issued by medical institutions
should also be followed.
6 The Diverse handset can also interfere
with other electrical equipment e.g.
answering machines, TV and radio sets,
clock radio/ alarms and computers if

6
WARNING cont.
placed too close. It is recommended you
place your Diverse handset at least one
metre away from such appliances to
avoid any risk of interference.
7 If you wear a hearing aid, please note
that the Diverse works by sending radio
signals between the base station and
handset. These signals can interfere
with hearing aids, causing a humming
noise.
8 There 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.
9 Do not use your phone in bathrooms,
near fire or water, or in areas where
there is a danger of explosion.
10 Clean the handset and base station with
a damp cloth (not wet) or anti static
wipe. Never use a dr y cloth or spray
cleaning fluid directly onto the phone.
11 Do not dispose of your batteries in
normal household rubbish and do not
place in water or a fire.
General cleaning
Simply clean the handset and base station
with a damp (not wet) cloth or antistatic
wipe. Never use a dr y cloth as this may
cause a static shock. Never spray cleaning
fluid directly onto the telephone.

7
Approved rechargeable batteries
Use only the rechargeable battery types
listed below and do not mix two types in
the same handset:
Batteries can be obtained from the
Diverse Helpline on
0345 908070 or
your local BT shop.
Nickel-cadmium
Saft RC6
Panasonic P-60 AA/1P
Philips R6 NC-P
UCAR RC6
DAIMON ACCU 1000
Varta Accu Plus Ni-Cd 1.2V No. 5006
Sanyo N-3U
Energizer Eveready RC 6
GP 60AA KC
The handset has a range of up to 300
metres outside and up to 50 metres in
buildings, depending on the type of
construction.

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 cir cuit or destroy the
batter y casing. Recommended
rechargeable batteries are available
from the
Diverse Helpline 0345
908070 and the BT Shop.

Setting Up
1 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 batter y compartment and slide the
batter y compartment cover shut. The
batter y compartment cover may be
found in the packaging with the
batteries.

9
3 Charge the handset batteries
for at least 16 hours
Place the handset on the base station 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. it goes off when the battery
is fully charged. It will come on again
occasionally to indicate that the batter y
is being topped up.
When the handset has been charging
for 16 hours, the Diverse 2000 Executive
is ready for use.
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.

Battery performance
After charging your Diverse 2000
Executive Handset 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 6 hours
talktime or 50 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.
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

11
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 12. All additional
handsets you purchase will need to be
individually registered with the base
station before they will work.
The symbol may also flash after a
power failure. Provided the handset
has been registered with the base, the
symbol will stop f lashing after a
while indicating the handset has
automatically re-registered to the base
station. If it continues to flash,
re-register the handset to the base
station – see page 12.
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.
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.

details.
Outside the warranty period
If your Diverse 2000 Executive Handset
needs repair after the warranty period
has ended, the repair must meet the
approval requirements for connection to
the telephone network.
We recommend that you call the Diverse
Helpline on 0345 908070, for a list of
our recommended repair agents.

50
Help
Your Diverse 2000 Executive Handset
has been designed for ease of use.
If you do experience any difficulties,
please refer to the following section
before contacting the Diverse Helpline
on 0345 908070.
Emergency Calls
The emergency services can be contacted
in the UK by dialling 999, or 112
which is valid in any country that is a
member of the European Community.
If your Diverse base station is
connected to a switchboard, you may
have to dial an access number before
999, to contact the emergency services.
Some switchboards can not dial out
during a power failure.
Battery performance
After charging your Diverse 2000
Executive Handset 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 6 hours
talktime or 50 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.
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.

51
Replacing handset batteries
After a time, you may find that the
handset batteries are running out of
charge more quickly. This is a standard
sign of wear and the batteries will need
replacing with approved batteries.
Recommended batteries should have a
power rating of 600m Ah 1.2V. Batteries
are available from the Diverse Helpline on
0345 908070 or your local BT shop.
Batteries are available from the Diverse
Helpline on 0345 908070 and your
local BT shops.
BT accepts no responsibility for damage
caused to your Diverse 2000 Executive
Handset by the use of unsuitable
batteries.
Use only AA size nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cad) rechargeable batteries in the
handset. Any other types may cause
irreparable damage. A list of suitable
batteries is shown on page 7.
Do not immerse batteries in water or
throw them into fire, or dispose of them
with ordinary domestic refuse.
To charge batteries, only use the plug-in
power supply station provided.
Fully charged batteries do not indicate
full power when put into a handset
When you replace 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.

52
If you have a problem, the following
simple solutions may provide the
answer.
No display appears
Is the handset switched on?
The batter y may be flat or dead.
Recharge or replace the battery.
No dial tone
Is the telephone line cord plugged into
the phone socket and the base station?
If other handsets are registered on the
base, the outside line may already be in
use. Wait until the call is finished and
tr y again.
‘Search station’ is flashing on the
display or you can not link up with the
base station
Is the handset registered with the base
station? To register the handset, see
page 12.
Is the power cable connected at the base
and power switched on at the wall socket?
Is the handset within range of a base
station to which it is registered.
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, and then ON again, it will find
the base station within a few seconds.

53
The radio signals from the handset to base
station can cause unpleasant
interference for people with hearing aids.
If you are still experiencing difficulty,
please call the Diverse Helpline on
0345 908070.

54
