Hints and tips boxes

In this user guide, we’ve included helpful tips and important notes. They are shown in a grey box.

Please read the instr uctions carefully before use and retain this user guide for future reference.

Building up a phone system

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.

Warning

1 For 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 batter y 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.

2 Do 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.

3 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.

4 If 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.

5 Diverse 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.

6 Working 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.

7 Do not submerge any part of the phone, base

station or batteries in water or use in a damp environment, such as a bathroom.

8 Do not expose to fire.

9 The handset may not be operated in rooms

with explosive hazards.

10 Make sure you connect the power and

telephone lines to the correct sockets in the base station.

11 Do not dispose of used batteries in the

normal household rubbish.

12 Only the plug-in power supply unit supplied

(details on the underside of the base station) may be used.

Setting up

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

3. Connect the telephone line cord to the Diverse 2010 base station.

Ensure that this is fitted corr ectly into the right socket.

....

Use only the power adaptor C39 280 -Z4 -C67 with your Diverse 2010.

Plan where you will put your Diverse 2010. It should be within two metres of a power socketand 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 andpower cableplugsare 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.

4 Plug your Diverse 2010 into the phone socket

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 ser vice.

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 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.

6 Fit the handset Belt clip

Fit the belt clip onto the back of the handset.

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 shor t circuit or destroy the batter y casing. Recommended rechargeable batteries are available from th e

Diverse Helpline 0345

908070 and the BT Shop.

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.

Tab

Slot

7. Charge the handset batteries for at least16 hours.

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 of f 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 batter y 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 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 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.

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.

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 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.

Using your Diverse 2010

Your Diverse 2010 can be connected to all compatible switchboards. For a list of suitable switchboards, phone the Diverse Helpline on 0345 908070.

Entering access codes

When you use your telephone on a switchboard you may need to program a delay for switching calls through to external lines. You can set this delay to be inser ted automatically when you dial the switchboard access number, before the remainder of the number is dialled. For example, if your switchboard access number is 9, when you set your access delay to 9 the pause before dialling would happen automatically ever y time you dial 9 as a first digit. This allows your switchboard enough time to allocate you an outside line.

Access codes can be up to three digits long (select your codes from any number between 1 and 9, plus ✱ and

buttons).

Your Diverse 2010 can store up to three switchboard access codes.

How to set up multiple base stations and handsets

To register additional Diverse 2010 handsets at more than one base station

You can use up to six handsets on each Diverse base station and up to four base stations with your Diverse handset, to build up a comprehensive and easy to use cordless telephone system.

The handset supplied with your first base station is already registered as handset 1 and your first base station is base station 1.

The handset you wish to register onto another base station must be turned OFF, before pr oceeding to register the handset.

It is possible to build your Diverse 2010 into a much larger phone system with the addition of up to 3 extra base stations.

When planning to use a handset at more than one base station, it is recommended that you:

• Assign a number to each base station, from 1 to 4.

• Number each handset (1 to 6) registered at each base station.

• Register the handsets at base station 2 (and 3 and 4 if used) in the same order as used for base station 1.

• Activate the display of the base station. numbers on each handset, as shown on the next page.

Operating with additional base stations

If you move out of range of the displayed base station, and within range of another base station, your radio link will be automatically set up (provided your handset has been registered with the new base station.) If, however, you move out of range of the displayed base station, and within range of another base station during a call you will lose your call connection.

This procedure may vary if you are linking to a Diverse 2-Line or Diverse ISDN. Please refer to the user guides for these base stations for the correct procedure.

The handset display shows you if the handset is located within range of a registered base station. If the symbol flashes continuously, it means the handset is not within range of a registered base station. If the symbol is not flashing, you are in range.

At the base station:

• Press and hold down the

GREY

paging button until you hear the beeps (after about 10 seconds).

At the handset:

• Press and hold down the 2 button (or 3 or 4), to allocate a number to the new base station.

• At the same time, hold down the PWR button until the display shows.

• Enter the system code. (Standard setting 0000.)

• Press the #button. The beeps stop after a few seconds, and the display shows all available handset numbers.

• Enter the single digit handset number – from 2 to 6 – for the additional handset. It is now registered.

If six handsets are already registered with the base, three dashes will appear in the display after you enter the system code.

Please note that you cannot move between base stations whilst a call is in progress. If you attempt to do so, your will lose your connection.

To set/clear the base station number display from a handset

The standard setting is for the handset not to show the number of the base station to which it is registered. If your handset is connected to more than one base we recommend that you activate this display.

• Press the STO button.

• Press the 3 button, then 6.

The current setting is displayed.

• Press the 1 button to display the base station number.

• Press the 0 button if you do not want to display the base number.

• Press STO to confirm.

To set your handset for automatic base selection

If you are moving around, and likely to lose contact with your base station, your handset can be made to automatically switch to the best available base station. This means that if you are in an area where the signals of two base stations overlap, your handset will select the strongest signal.

To set your handset for manual base selection (with an automatic search default)

This setting tells your handset to search for a specific base signal for 30 seconds. If the signal can not be found, the handset rever ts to automatic selection of the base with the best signal. This setting is recommended where there is an overlap between two or three base stations.

The handset must be switched ON.

• Press the STO button.

• Press the INT button. Display shows

the numbers of the base stations at which the handset is registered.

• Press the number of the base (from

1 to 4) through which you wish to

make calls.

• Press the same number again. This tells the handset to rever t to automatic search if the chosen base is unavailable.

• Press STO to confirm.

If you move out of range from one base station and into the range of another during a call, you will lose your connection.

If your handset is taken out of range, switch it off, move back into base station range, and then switch on again. This will speed up re-registration to the base signal.

If you do not wish to allow the handset to revert to automatic signal selection press the base station number just once. This will mean that the handset can only operate through the base you select.
