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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
