General information

General

Simply clean your Textphone with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an antistatic wipe. Never use household polish as this may damage the Textphone. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause static shock. Only use the power supply included with the Textphone. Using an unauthorised power supply unit will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the Textphone. Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.

Environmental

• Do not leave flat batteries in the Textphone. Batteries should be replaced after 2 years even if they have not been used.

• Apart from the batteries, there are no customer replaceable parts.

• Do not expose to direct sunlight.

• Do not stand your Textphone on carpets or other surfaces which

generate fibres, or place it in locations preventing free flow of air over its surfaces.

• Do not submerge any part of your Textphone in water and do not use it in damp or humid conditions, such as in bathrooms.

• Do not expose your Textphone to fire, explosive or other hazardous conditions.

• There is a slight chance that your Textphone could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug the power and telephone line cord for the duration of the storm.

Planning the location of your Textphone

Do you need to set the time and date?

If you have subscribed to BT’s Caller Display service, the time and date are set automatically when your Textphone receives its first call.

If you do not set the time and date it simply means that the Textphone will not record the times of calls.

If you do not have Caller Display, you can set the time and date yourself.

Please note

If the mains power fails and the back-up batteries in your Textphone run out, the time and date will be lost and you will have to enter the time and date again. But if you subscribe to Caller Display the time and date will be set automatically when you receive your next call.

You are now ready to make and receive calls

If you experience difficulties in setting up your Textphone please contact the BT Textphone Helpline on 0845 6011545 for assistance. The Helpline is open 09:00 to 17:30 Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 12:00 Saturdays, except for public holidays.

Using your Textphone

Making text calls

When you make a call through BT TextDirect (using the necessary prefix), you will receive messages on the display of your BT Textphone telling you whether the person you are calling is busy, or their phone is ringing.

The service also recognises whether the call is to another textphone or a voice phone.

If the call is to a voice phone, it will automatically be connected through a Typetalk operator. They will type what is said by the other person and speak your reply.

If the call is to another textphone, the Typetalk operator will not be connected.

To use the BT TextDirect service simply switch on the Prefix as described on page 52.

For more information on BT TextDirect and Typetalk dial 0800 500 888.

Using your Textphone with BT Call Sign

BT Call Sign enables you to have two separate phone numbers on the same telephone line.

Depending on the number dialled, Call Sign delivers a different ringing pattern which will enable the call to be directed to the phone/fax machine or Textphone accordingly.

Call Sign is a subscription service. Calls to your Call Sign (new) number result in a series of long, single

rings = Calls to your Normal (original) number result in a series of double

rings = You can set your Textphone to answer just one of these numbers.

If you have a fax machine or voice telephone connected in the telephone socket at the back of the Textphone, you can separate your calls between the two.

RIIIIIIING ....RIIIIIIING. This is the Alternate ring melody.

RING RING ....RING RING. This is the Normal ring melody.

Please note

Products not connected through the Textphone will ring regardless of the Call Sign settings selected on the Textphone.

Please note

When ringing the Textphone from a normal phone, with a phone plugged into the extension socket, the extension phone only rings twice before switching over to the Textphone. At this point it is not possible to intercept the call with the handset.

Remember to use the Text Direct prefix of 18001 for these calls. If you have the prefix switched on, your Textphone will dial it automatically.

Connection Information

Your Textphone may be connected to public networks in the UK. It may be connected to compatible switchboards. If you are in doubt, contact your switchboard supplier.

How many phones can you have?

All items of telephone equipment have a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to calculate the number of items that may be connected to any one telephone line. Your Textphone has a REN of 1. A total REN of 4 is allowed. If the total REN of 4 is exceeded, the telephones may not ring. With different telephone types there is no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is less than 4.

Adjusting the Textphone codes

Your Textphone uses special communication codes to send the text messages to another phone. Both phones need to be set to the same code in order to communicate properly.

The pre-set code is V.18

This is the automatic mode and enables your Textphone to connect to any other textphone and automatically select the right code setting.

However, if you have problems communicating with textphones in other countries, you can try setting your Textphone to a specific code. See page 89 for a list of codes and countries and page 90 for instructions to set the code.
