INTRODUCTION

BT Diverse Helpline – 08457 908 070

Safety information

General

Only use the power supply included with the product. Using an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone. Power supply number is M-GA35-095130F.

For the handset use only AAA 1.2V Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries with a minimum capacity of 700 mAh. Never use other batteries or conventional alkaline batteries. They could lead to a short circuit or destroy the battery casing. Batteries and accessories are available from

www.withandwithoutwires.com

or call 0870 240 5522. If the Keyguard is switched on, it is

NOT possible to make calls, including emergency numbers (

999/112).

Do not open the base station or handset (other than to change batteries). This could expose you to high voltages or other risks.

Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base may cause interference to hearing aids.

This product should not be used near emergency/intensive care medical equipment and should not be used by people with pacemakers.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.

Cleaning

Simply clean the handset and base station with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an anti-static wipe. Never use household polish as this will damage the product. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

Environmental

Do not expose to direct sunlight. The product may heat up when the

batteries are being recharged. This is normal. However, we recommend that you do not place the product on antique/veneered wood to avoid damage.

Do not stand your product on carpets or other surfaces which generate fibres, or place it in locations preventing the free flow of air over its surfaces.

Do not submerge any part of your product in water and do not use it in damp or humid conditions, such as bathrooms.

Do not expose your product to fire, explosive or other hazardous conditions.

There is a slight chance that your phone could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug the power and telephone line cord during an electrical storm.

SAFETY INFORMATION

BT Diverse Helpline – 08457 908 070

1 Connect the base station

Plug the power supply cable into the power socket on the underside of your base.

Plan the location

Situate your product close enough to the telephone and mains power sockets so that the cables will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical products to avoid interference.

Do not situate the product in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Setting up

WARNING

Do not connect the telephone line cord to the phone socket until your handset is fully charged. This will prevent the risk of the phone being answered before the battery is charged. Answering the phone before the battery is fully charged may prevent it from reaching its optimum capacity.

2 Plug the power supply

unit into the wall socket

SETTING UP

BT Diverse Helpline – 08457 908 070

WARNING

Under no circumstances should non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use AAA 1.2V Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries with a minimum capacity of 700mAh.Using inappropriate batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone. Batteries and accessories are available from

www.withandwithoutwires.com or call 0870 240 5522.

3 Registering and charging

the handset

The display is protected by a plastic film. Remove the protective plastic film from the display.

INT

To register your handset, place it in the base station with the display facing upward. After approx. one minute, the handset’s internal number is displayed (e.g.: 1). Successful registration is

signalled by a confirmation tone. When the handset is registered the

display will show:

SETTING UP

Insert the batteries

Insert the two batteries supplied, as indicated inside the battery compartment and slide the battery compartment cover shut.

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

INT MENU

BT Diverse Helpline – 08457 908 070

Out of range?

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.

Battery level icons

When the batteries are almost flat a beep sounds and the display shows the empty battery icon. You will need to recharge your handset before you can use it. The various states of charge are shown below:

Batteries fully charged Batteries at 66% Batteries at 33% Batteries empty

Battery performance

Batteries and case may become warm during charging. This is normal.

Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give about 13 hours talktime or 170 hours standby time on a single charge. However, new NiMH batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, so reducing the talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New batteries are available from

www.withandwithoutwires.com

or call 0870 240 5522. If 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.

SETTING UP

If the icons on the display

flash continuously...

It means that the handset is not registered with the base station.

Ensure you have correctly carried out step 3 above. If the product has still not registered, please see “Registering manually” on page 39.

All additional handsets you purchase will need to be individually registered with the base station before they will work with the BT Diverse 5210.

Leave the handset for approx. 16 hours in the base station to charge the batteries, as they are not charged in the factory. The battery status icon flashes on the handset to indicate that the batteries are being charged.

4 Connect the telephone

line cord to the base and plug into the wall socket

Ensure that each end of the line cord is fitted into the correct socket.

Fit the belt clip onto the back of the handset.

Your BT Diverse 5210 is now

ready for use.
