By purchasing your Diverse Cordless Socket you now own a product which combines the advantages of cordless operation with the performance of a high quality telephone. It complies with the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard and of fers unparalleled quality and features.

Important

Plan where you will put your Cordless Socket. It should be within 2 metres of a power socket otherwise an extension cable will be needed.

You can mount your Cordless Socket on a wall or let it lie flat on a desk top or shelf.

The maximum range between a Diverse base station and the Cordless Socket is 50 metres indoors and 300 metres outdoors. If you are planning to wall mount your Cordless Socket, first follow the steps in the Setting up section and you can then check the range.

Warning

1. Do not tr y to use any power supply

except the one provided, otherwise you may permanently damage your Cordless Socket. It will also result in non-compliance with EN41003:1993 and invalidate the approval given to this apparatus.

2. There is a slight chance that your equipment could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug your Cordless Socket from the mains power and telephone line socket during storms.

3. If you wear a hearing aid, please note that the Cordless Socket works by sending radio signals between the base station and handset. These signals can inter fere with hearing aids, causing a humming noise.

4. The Cordless Socket can interfere with other electrical equipment, such as answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radio/alarms, medical equipment and computers if placed too close. We recommend that you place your Cordless Socket at least one metre away from such appliances to avoid any risk of inter ference.

5. It is possible that the range may be decreased by being near bodies of water (such as ponds, lakes, the sea).

6. The Cordless Socket will produce a cer tain amount of heat during operation. Equally, the power supply cable can also become warm. This is entirely safe, but we advise against placing the product on antique, veneered or wooden sur faces as damage may occur.

7. Do not use your Cordless Socket or phone in bathrooms, near fire or water, or in areas where there is a danger of explosion.

8. Clean the Diverse Cordless Socket with a damp (not wet) cloth or antistatic wipe. Never use a dr y cloth as this may cause a static shock.

IMPORTANT

The operating sequences described in the following pages apply to a corded telephone or fax machine connected to the Cordless Socket. To use all the functions, you will need a product with Tone dialling (TouchTone®) and a Timed Break Recall button. Refer to your telephone or fax machine user guide for this information.

Phones which only have Pulse dialling and phones with no RECALL button, or those which only use Ear th Recall, are not recommended for use with the Diverse Cordless Socket.

If you are in any doubt as to the compatibility of your equipment or switchboard, please call the Diverse Helpline on 0345 90 80 70.
