Battery low warning

The display indicates when the battery power is low.

If no battery is inser ted, it remains on the display.

Plan the location of your
Paragon 200

Situate your Paragon 200 close enough to both
the phone and mains power sockets so that the
cables will reach.

Your Paragon 200 should be kept free of dust,
moisture, high temperature, vibration and should
not be exposed to direct sunlight. Do not stand
it on carpets or other surfaces which generate
fibres or place it in locations which prevent the
free flow of air over its surfaces.

Paragon 200 - Edition 4.3 – 26th Sept ’00

Setting up

Follow these steps to set up your Paragon 200 ready for use.

1 Insert back-up battery

Although optional we recommend fitting an
alkaline battery which will provide up to 25 hours
back-up and ensure your messages are saved
in the event of a mains power failure.

Ensure the Paragon 200 is disconnected from
the telephone line.

To fit the battery.

1 Lift the cover.

2 Insert one LR61 9V battery (not supplied).

Warning

The apparatus is designed to be operated in a
normal office or domestic environment where

the relative humidity does not exceed 75%.

It should not be used in bathrooms or near water.

Paragon 200 - Edition 4.3 – 26th Sept ’00

SETTING UP

4 Check Dial Mode setting (default TB)

3 Connect the telephone line cord

If you do not have a modern phone socket, call
Freephone 0800 800 150 and ask for a BT
engineer to come and fit the correct socket.
This is a chargeable service.

9V DC

LINE

Use the dialling mode switch on the underside
of your Paragon 200.

Your Paragon 200 should be pre-set to TB which
gives you Tone dialling. This ensures the phone
will work with all modern digital exchanges.

If you do not get a dialling tone, try setting the
dialling mode to P.

If you are connecting to a switchboard, check
with your switchboard operator or
communications manager which dialling mode
you need. Your Paragon 200 is approved for all
compatible switchboards.
