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 C39280 -Z4- C478.

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

If the Keyguard is switched on, it is NOT possible to make calls, including emergency numbers (999/112).

Do not open the charger 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 charger 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.

Setting up

SMS

IMPORTANT

Please note that your handset is NOT registered to a base station. The BT Diverse 5400 handset will be easily registered once you complete the steps 1 to 3 below.

Plan the location

Situate your product close enough to a mains power socket so that the cable 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.

1 Connect the charger

2 Plug the power supply unit

into the wall socket

SETTING UP

3 Registering and charging

the handset

The display is protected by a plastic film. You can remove this protective plastic film from the display.

Plug the power supply cable into the power socket at the back of your charger.

Insert the batteries Registering the handset

SMS

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.

WARNING

Under no circumstances should

SETTING UP

non-rechargeable batteries be used. Using incorrect batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.

To register your handset to a BT Diverse 5410 or 5450 base station, place it in the main BT Diverse 5400 base station with the display facing upward. After approx. one minute, the handset's internal number is displayed (e.g. 2). Successful registration is signalled by a confirmation tone.

Replace the newly registered handset into the charger and leave to charge for approximately 16 hours. The charging status icon flashes on the handset to indicate that the batteries are being charged.

When the handset is registered the display will show:

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 is still not registered see Registering Manually on page 13.

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

If you want to register your handset to another base station you will need to manually register it.

On the handset to be registered:

If the base is not a 5400 you will need to follow the user guide for the base station you are registering the 5400 handset to.

Battery level icons

Battery performance

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

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

SETTING UP

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.

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.
