In this user guide, we’ve included helpful tips and important information.

In this guide

Introducing the Diverse2015

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 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 2015 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.

Setting up

Follow these steps to get your Diverse 2015 ready for use.

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 destr oy the battery 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 tr y to use any power supply except

the one provided, other wise you may permanently damage your Diverse 2015. 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 2015 works by sending radio signals between the base station and handset. These signals can interfere with hearing aids, causing a humming noise.

5 Diverse 2015 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 2015 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 2015 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 Use only the supplied power adaptor no.

General cleaning

Simply clean the handset and base station with a damp (not wet) cloth or antistatic wipe. Never use a dr y cloth as this may cause a static shock. Never spray cleaning fluid directly onto the telephone.

2 Plug the 3-pin adaptor into a mains power socket and switch on

When the power is switched on the ‘00’ display on your base station will begin to flash.

In order to stop the display flashing, you must record the day and time (see page 29) and your outgoing message (see page 24).

3 Connect the telephone line cord to the Diverse 2015 base station

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

1 Connect the power cable

Plug the power cable into the power socket on the underside of your Diverse 2015. Take care that the telephone line cord and power cable plugs are connected to the corr ect sockets. Incorrect placement could damage the base station.

Ensure that the telephone line cord and the power supply are plugged into the correct socket.

The message counter will f lash on and off continually until you have set the time and day. See page 29.

Setting up

Plan where you will put your Diverse

2015. It should be within two metres of a power socket and the phone socket.

Use only power adaptor C39280-Z4C101 with your Diverse 2015

6 Fit the handset Belt clip

Fit the belt clip onto the back of the handset.

4 Plug your Diverse 2015 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 service.

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, inser t the batteries as indicated on the label inside the batter y compar tment and slide the battery compar tment cover shut. The batter y compartment cover may be found in the packaging with the batteries.

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 the 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.

Setting up

Tab

Slot

7 Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 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 batter y is fully char ged. 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 2015 is ready to use.

Battery performance

After charging your Diverse 2015 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.

Setting up

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 51. All additional handsets you purchase will need to be individually registered with the base station before they will work with the Diverse 2015.

The symbol may also f lash after a power failure. Provided the handset has been registered with the base, the symbol will stop f lashing 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 – see page 51. The display may also flash if the day and time have not been set, see page 29.

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.

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.

Setting up

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:

Setting the TONE or PULSE mode

Your Diverse 2015 is pr eset to TONE dialling – where you hear a tone beep each time you dial a number. Tone dialling is suitable for all modern digital exchanges and switchboards. So you will only need to use this if your switchboard uses pulse dialling. If you cannot make a call with TONE dialling, you may need to switch to PULSE dialling.

To set PULSE dialling

(default 0000).

Entering external access codes for older switchboards.

When you use your telephone on a switchboard you may need to program a delay after you have dialled the access code. This enables the switchboard to pick up an external line. By storing the access code your switchboard uses, for example ‘9’, you can set this delay to be inser ted automatically. You will still need to dial the access code each time before calling any telephone number you want.
