Help

Your Verve 100 can be connected to compatible switchboards. If in doubt, please contact your switchboard supplier.

Your Verve 100 is pre-set to TONE dialling. You will hear a tone beep each time you dial a number. Tone dialling is suitable for all modern digital exchanges. If you cannot make a call with TONE dialling you may need to switch to PULSE dialling.

Switchboard compatibility

How many handsets 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. The Verve100 has a total REN of 1. Any other instrument provided by BT may be assumed to have a REN of 1 unless stated otherwise. A total REN of 4 is allowed per telephone line. (For example: if the Verve 100 is used in conjunction with three extension telephones, each with a REN of 1, then the total REN = 4.)

Do not open the handset or base station. This could expose you to high voltages or other risks. Contact the Helpline for repairs.

Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base may cause interference to hearing aids.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.

Do not hold the handset to your ear during the incoming ring tone.

Environmental

This is normal. However, it is recommended that you do not place the product on antique/veneered wood to avoid damage.

Do not stand your product 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 product in water and do not use it in damp or humid conditions, such as bathrooms.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical products to avoid interference.

5 Connect the telephone line cord to

the base station

Ensure that this is fitted correctly into the right socket. (See the diagram on page 3).
