PREPARING FOR USE

About ISDN

This cordless phone is suitable for use with Euro-ISDN. ISDN, which stands
for Integrated Services Digital Network, integrates the simultaneous transmis­sion of speech and data. With Euro-ISDN you have access to two digital tele­phone lines. This makes it possible, for example, to have two telephone
conversations at the same time or to have an ISDN internet connection with
your computer on one line and still be able to make and receive telephone
calls on the other line.

ISDN comes with several telephone numbers (network operator and subscrip­tion dependent), making it possible to reserve a phone number for instance for
business calls and another number for private phone calls (see “Multiple Sub­scriber Numbers (MSN)” on page 20 for more information). The ISDN serv­ices described in this manual are operator and subscription dependent.

Installation

You can install the cordless phone directly to the ISDN network terminal,
which may also have other devices attached, such as an ISDN modem or a fax
machine.

Warning Make sure the local mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the

power adaptor. Only use the power adaptor that comes with the set.

for

t

When installing the cordless phone, it is important that you closely follow
the procedure below:

mount. Due to possible interference, do not place the cordless phone near
audio or video equipment.

3. If you place the base station on a wall, screw the wall mount to the wall.

4. Connect the telephone cable to the base station’s telephone socket and to

the ISDN network terminator. Connect the power cord to the power plug
socket of the base station.

5. Connect the desk stand to the base station or connect the base station to the

wall mount. Locate the lower hooks first.
For the desk stand, route the cables through the slots at the back.

6. Place the handset into the base station as shown in the illustration. Make

sure that the handset is switched off.

7. Plug the power adaptor into the wall socket.

The red light on top of the base station should now be on continuously. If
you see a red, flashing light, there is a fault with the telephone line
connection.

for

After a few minutes the handset will subscribe itself to the base station and

t

the red light on the top of the base station will go off.

8. Leave the handset in the base station for at least 3 hours to charge the bat-

tery for the first time.

Bu

When the battery is charged, the handset is ready for use. For more informa-

n

tion about charging the battery, please refer to “Battery” on page 9.

o

If subscription fails

ss

Normally the handset automatically subscribes to the base station when the
cordless phone is installed. However if automatic subscription fails (the signal
strength indicator is not visible in the display), you have to manually sub­scribe the handset to the base station see “Subscribing a DT200 handset to the
230i base station” on page 29.

When using more than one handset

If you are using more than one handset with the base station you can give all
handsets different telephone numbers or up to two handsets the same tele­phone number. By giving the handsets different telephone numbers a particu­lar handset can be called by its own telephone number. This makes it easy, for
example, to keep private phone calls and business phone calls separate. All
handsets will then ring according to the ringing order (see “Ringer” on
page 21) when a call is r eceived.

Calling a particular handset. There are two ways of calling a particular

handset:

• Give each handset its own telephone number (see “Multiple Subscriber

Numbers (MSN)” on page 20).
Or

• A caller can also call a particular handset on the base station even when

two handsets have the same telephone number. You can call a particular
handset by dialling the telephone number followed by # and the handset’s
internal number (operator dependent). Contact your network operator for
more information.

Setting the handset to long tones

The tones transmitted by the handset may be too short for some interactive
information services. If you have problems, you can temporarily change the
length of the tones.

If the handset is set to long tones, the tones are transmitted for the same length
of time as the keys are pressed down.

PERSONALISING THE BASE STATION

Changing settings (PIN code)

If your handset is connected to the base station, you can change the base sta­tion’s settings using the handset. You may have to enter the base station PIN
code to change these settings. For the default base station PIN code, see

for

Multiple Subscriber Numbers (MSN)

Bu

With Euro-ISDN you are given up to 10 telephone numbers (operator depend-

n

ent). Each one of these telephone numbers, also called multiple subscriber

o

numbers, or MSNs, can be assigned to different handsets or other devices such
as a computer modem or fax machine. Assigning different MSNs to individual

ss

handsets allows you to keep for instance business and personal calls sepa­rated. You are able to assign the same MSN to a maximum of two handsets.

Note When assigning MSNs all handsets will still ring unless you change the

ringing order. See “Ringing order” on page 21 for more information.

Presenting the handset’s internal number to the receiving party

Restricting your telephone number from being sent

When you make a phone call your telephone number is normally sent to the
person you are calling. With the
menu option you can prevent this information from being sent.

With the

COLR

(Connected Line identification Restriction) menu option you
can prevent a calling party seeing your phone number when you answer the
call.

Ringer

The base station rings when an external call is received. You can adjust the
ring volume via the menu.

Ringing order

The base station is pre-set so that all handsets ring at the same time. However,
you can also personalise the order in which the handsets ring.

Setting the ringing order. Using a handset, you can program the order in
which the handsets ring. You are given the following options:

•

One

means only handset 1.

•

One, Rest

means first handset 1, then all handsets.

•

One, Two..

means first handset 1, then 2, then 3, etc.

•

All

means all handsets at the same time (default).

As soon as you assign a telephone number (MSN) to a ha ndset, you may want
to change the ringing order to
handsets with the same telephone number.

Note The base station will always ring to any assigned telephone number.
Setting the ring delay. You can also set the number of rings after which the

next handset starts to ring.

Auto divert

t

The auto divert feature means you can be reachable by phone even when you
are out of range of the base station. When you are in range, calls are routed to
your handset. If you are out of range for any period of time, calls can be

the same service is called to deactivate the diverted telephone number. Ask
your dealer or retailer for more information on the call diversion service.

Auto divert can only be set for one handset. If a diverted telephone number is
activated, no calls may be received by the base station until the priority phone
handset is located again.

Some telephone numbers, such as emergency numbers, cannot be barred. You
can also have call barring via your telephone operator. It remains in effect irre­spective of the call barring settings of the handset and base station. Please
consult your dealer or retailer for more information.

Switching on or off. Each handset (if you have more than one) should have
call barring set on or off separately. Call barring is off by default.

Barred numbers. You can enter three numbers of up to eight digits for call
barring. You can also bar prefixes, for instance the prefix for chat lines and
other expensive services, or the prefix for international numbers. All calls
with this prefix will then be barred.

Exempt numbers. You can exempt telephone numbers, for example emer­gency numbers, from call barring and call budgeting by the base station. This
means that these numbers can always be dialled. Some exempt numbers, such
as the national emergency number, may already have been set and cannot be
edited or removed.

Least cost routing

If you are in a position to select different telephone operators, you can have
the base station automatically route calls to another operator if the telephone
number begins with a specific prefix. In this way, you can easily select the
operator without having to change your phone numbers.

The least cost routing function replaces the prefix of a telephone number with
digits to select the other operator . For instance, if the telephon e number begins
with 00, it can be substituted by 1600 to select the other operator.

You can set four prefixes. A prefix may consist of six digits and it can be sub­stituted by a maximum of ten digits.

CONNECTING HANDSETS TO BASE STATIONS

Using base stations

Before you can connect to a base station, your handset must be subscribed to
that base station. Y ou only have to subscribe to a base station once. When you
are subscribed, you can make and receive calls whenever you are within range
of that base station. A subscribed base station can be selected automatically or
manually.

While subscribing to a base station, the handset receives an internal telephone
number on which it can be called by another handset.

If your handset has a connection with a base station, this is shown by the sig­nal strength indicator. If the indicator is visible, you can make and receive tel­ephone calls. If the indicator is not shown, this may mean:

• You are out of range.

Check that the base station is on and that you are within range. You must

t

be within range to connect to a subscribed base station. Switching to auto­matic base station selection may remedy this (see “Selecting another base

No

station” on page 30).

Bu

• There is no access to the selected base station.

The handset is not able to connect. Subscribe the handset to the base sta-

n

tion again.

o

• There is no subscription with that base station or the subscription has been

You must subscribe the handset to the base station before you can connect
(see “Subscribing” below).

Subscriptions. A handset may be subscribed to up to eight base stations. The
names of these base stations are stored in a prioritized list. In case of auto­matic base station selection, the handset tries to connect to the base station
with the highest priority; first base station entry 1, followed by base station
entry 2 etc. To change the base station priority, see “Selection priority” on
page 30.

Subscribing

It is possible to subscribe the handset manually to the 230i base station. It is
also possible to subscribe theDT200 handset to a base station other than the
230i base station and even to subscribe a different handset to the 230i base sta­tion. The three different types of subscribing are described below.

Subscribing a DT200 handset to the 230i base station. To subscribe a
handset you need the base station PIN code. This PIN code is secret and pre­vents other handsets from subscribing to the base station without your
approval. If the handset does not have a subscription, it automatically enters
the subscription mode when it is switched on. In this case, the handset dis­plays

o

range may differ due to local circumstances.

ss

What should I do if the handset dials a number as soon as I press a key?

A direct call has been set. See “Direct call” on page 25.

I have called an interactive service but it does not respond to my key presses. What is wrong?

The tones transmitted by the handset may be too short for this interactive serv­ice. For using longer tones see “Setting the handset to long tones” on page 19.

What should I do if I do not hear anything when I pick up the
handset and the red light on the base station is flashing?

The base station is not properly connected to the telephone line. Check the
telephone line connection to the base station and ensure that the cable that
came with the set is used.

I cannot understand the language in the display. Why?

An incorrect language has been selected.

To correct this:

1. Press

2. Press the

I have entered an incorrect PIN code three times in a row. How can I set a new PIN code?

If you have entered an incorrect PIN code three times in a row, the current
code is invalidated. To reset the PIN code, see “Resetting the base station PIN
code” on page 23 and “Resetting the handset PIN code” on page 23.

I cannot switch on the handset by pressing
seconds, or it switches itself off again. Why?

Place the handset in the base station. If the display comes on, the battery is
almost flat. Leave the handset in the base station to charge the battery. If the
display remains off after charging, the handset is defective or the battery is not

No

properly connected or may need replacing. See “Battery” on page 9.

I have placed the handset in the base station but the green charging light does not come on. Why?

o

Ensure that the handset is placed properly in the base station and the base sta-

ss

tion is on. If the battery is completely flat, leave the handset in the base station
to charge the battery. The green charging light will turn on after a few
minutes.

I know that someone is calling me, but I cannot hear the ring signal. Why not?

If you can see the ring off icon, it means that the volume of the ring signal has
been set to zero, or the ring signal is switched off temporarily. If the ring sig­nal has been switched off temporarily, it comes back on when you hang up.
For increasing the volume of the ring signal, see “Ring volume” on page 19.

The base station rings, but I can’t answer the call. Why not?

The base station does not recognise the telephone number as being assigned to
one of the handsets, therefore it is not forwarding the call to a handset. This
could mean that this number has been assigned to another device, for instance
an analogue fax machine. If you don’t want to be disturbed by this ringing,
you can turn off the volume of the base station see “Ringer” on page 21.

Someone is calling me and the phone number is displayed
instead of the name in the phone book. What is wrong?

The number in the display differs from the number in the phone book or is not
present in the phone book at all. You can use “Add ing last dia lled an d a
caller’s number” on page 15 to add the number to the phone book or use
“Changing names and numbers” on page 15 to change the number according
to what is displayed.

Someone is calling me, but no caller identification can be seen in the display. What is wrong?

Only the first three handsets on the base station can show the caller identifica­tion. It is also possible that no caller identification was sent by the network.

I cannot call certain numbers. Why not?

Call barring is on or your call budget has been exceeded. For further details,
see “Call barring” on page 26 and “Call budget type” on page 26.

The external line light on the base station is flashing quickly. Why?

There is a problem with the connection between the base station and the tele­phone line. Check the telephone cable.

I hear a warning tone and the signal strength indicator cannot be seen. What is wrong?

The handset is not connected to the base station. The handset is probably out

for

of range. Bring the handset back within range of the base station.

t

It is also possible that the handset has not been subscribed or that the subscrip­tion has been cancelled. It could also mean that a base station other than the

No

one which you are close to has been selected. See “Using base stations” on

Bu

page 28 and “Subscribing a DT200 handset to the 230i base station” on

n

page 29.

o

I hear a warning tone and the battery icon is flashing. What is

ss

wrong?

The battery is almost flat. Put the handset in the base station to charge the
battery.

The red light on the base station is on. What is wrong?

Nothing is wrong. The external line is busy or the subscription mode is active.

The base station does not work at all. What is wrong?

The telephone cable and power cord connections may be plugged into each
other’s sockets. This does not cause any harm but the base station will not
work. If this is the case, swap them over.

I cannot use the phone book. What is wrong?

To beg in with, the phon e book in the handset is em pty. To use the phone book,
you have to add a few names and numbers. See “Adding a name and number”
on page 15.
