Ultimate 106 – Edition 1 – Issue 3 - 18.12.02 – 5129
Key features
Please open this page for an ‘at a glance’
guide to your Ultimate 106.
Switchboard facilities
The Ultimate 106 has been designed to allow
you to make the most of a single telephone line
for your home or office. For example, you can:
– make internal calls between extensions
– easily transfer a call to any extension connected to your
Ultimate 106
– choose which extensions ring for incoming calls
– set specific extensions to ring at night only
– bar selected extensions from making certain types of
calls (such as international and premium rate).
Six extensions
The Ultimate 106 allows you 6 extension
numbers, one for each of your 6 extension
sockets. By putting 2 phones on the same extension socket
number, you can have up to a maximum of 12 telephones
on your system.
Voice Mail
Voice Mail is simply an answerphone system,
which enables messages to be stored in
separate mailboxes. It’s rather like having an answering
machine for each extension. Callers can leave a message for
a specific person while you can listen just to your messages
without having to skip through everyone else’s.
Caller Number Identification
Caller ID lets you hear who’s calling before you
answer and gives information about each call
you receive.
For the Caller ID feature to receive and transmit the full
range of call information, you must first subscribe to the
BT Caller Display Service. For more information, call BT
on Freefone 0800 800 150.
Call Director
The Ultimate 106 allows callers to direct their
call to the extension they want. The caller is
answered by the Ultimate 106 and is given a choice of
extensions to dial. Once a choice is made, only the relevant
extension rings, leaving everyone else uninterrupted by a
call that was not for them.
Combining Call Director with Voice Mail gives the caller
the opportunity to reach the correct person directly,
without disturbing anyone else. If the person called is
unavailable, a message can be left again without
interrupting anyone needlessly.
Dedicated fax extension
Your Ultimate 106 lets you have a dedicated
fax extension without the need or expense for
another telephone line.
Door entry phone (optional)
You can use your Ultimate 106 system to speak
to callers at the door and let them enter via a
door entry system. The Ultimate 106 door entry system is
available separately from your Ultimate 106 retailer.

You can have up to 6 extensions from your
Ultimate 106 and each extension has a 2-digit
number. These six numbers are 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, and 16.
Extension 11 is the master phone which must be
connected and situated very near to your

Run the required cable length to your
Ultimate 106. Attach the cable firmly to the wall.
Thread the plastic wire grip through the socket
(as shown above).
The telephone extension cable contains 4
strands of wire, 2 with broad orange, or blue
stripes, 2 with narrow orange or blue stripes.
Choose a pair of wires of the same colour, for
instance the broad blue stripes and the narrow
blue strips.
Then, holding the insertion tool, as shown,
simply push the wires firmly into connection 2
and 5. The broad blue stripes into connector 2,
the narrow blue stripes to connector 5. Secure
the cable with the cable grip.

Ultimate 106 – Edition 1 – Issue 3 - 18.12.02 – 5129
To connect up to 6 master
extension sockets
In your Wiring Kit you will find the white
socket(s) and a disposable insertion tool.
You will need to decide how you wish to fix the
extension socket and how the cable will be run
into it.
Push out the plastic ‘holes’ in the backbox that
correspond with where you wish the cables to run.
Screw the backbox of your extension socket
onto the skirting board or wall using the screws
provided.
Now strip off approximately 5 cms (about 2 ins)
of outer sheath from the extension cable. The
colour-coded covering on the wires in the cable
should not be stripped.
IMPORTANT
You must connect your extensions to a
MASTER telephone socket. You can
purchase master sockets and wiring kits
from any good electrical retailer.

Day and night modes
You can set which extensions you want to ring
during the day and which ones you want to ring
at night. You can also set the times when day and
night modes begin and end.
The default (original) setting is for all connected
extensions to ring at all times.
For example:
At home you could set just one extension phone
to ring at night, so no one else will be disturbed
should someone ring you.
At work, you could set one phone only to ring
during office hours so a receptionist can answer
all calls. Outside office hours, all extensions can
ring so any available person can take the call.
