Introduction Your Response 115 is designed for ease

of use and made to the high standards set by BT

1 Plug your Response 115 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 ser vice.

Warning

1 Do not tr y to use any power adaptor

except the one provided (item code

871036). If you do you may permanently damage your Response 115and this will invalidate the warranty.

2 There is a slight chance that your

Response 115 could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug the unit from the mains during storms.

Setting up Follow these steps to get your Response 115

ready for use

Plan where you will put your Response 115. It should be within two metres of a power socket and the phone socket.

2 Plug the power cord into the back of the base unit

To prevent the power cord being pulled out accidentally, route it behind the clip on the back of the base unit.

3 Now plug the adaptor into a convenient mains power socket

When the power is switched on you hear a single beep, the MC30 cassette operates briefly.

An incoming message cannot be recorded unless the cassette safety cover is clicked shut.

4 Set the dial mode

The dial mode switch is located on the back of the base unit.

Your Response 115 is pre-set to TONE (

TB)

dialling. This ensures the phone will work with all modern digital exchanges.

If you dial a number and continue to hear the dialling tone, you may need to switch the phone to PULSE (

P) dialling.

5 Set the ringer volume

The ringer switch is located on the back of the base unit. There are three settings.

• HI– a loud ring.

Your Response 115 is pre-set to this position.

• LO– a quiet ring.

• OFF– no ring.

A template is printed at the back of this guide (page
