Important note — emergency calls

The MD 1600 is not designed for making emergency
calls when the mains power fails. So you should
make alternative arrangements for access to
Emergency Services.

(This means that you should also have a basic
phone that does not need mains power, connected
to your line so that you can make calls during a
power failure.)

If you need help …

The Binatone Help Line is available from 9.00 am to

5.00 pm, Monday to Friday, on

01325 304 473

Unpacking your MD 1600

In the box are:

■

the cordless handset (two handsets with a Twin
system, three with a Triple system, four with a Quad
system)

■

the base unit

■

rechargeable batteries or a battery pack, and a
battery compartment cover for the handset

■

a telephone line cable

■

a mains power lead and adapter

If you have an MD 1600 Twin, Triple or Quad system,
you should also have:

■

one, two or three charger pods

■

a mains power lead and adapter for each one

Keep the packaging materials in a safe place in case
you later need to transport the unit.

Keep your sales (till) receipt, which is your guarantee.

Connection
and conditions
for use

How many
phones can you
connect?

Choosing a site
for the base
unit and
charger pod

You can connect your MD 1600 to a direct exchange
line (DEL) — a line connected to a local exchange, with
its own phone number; to an extension socket con

­nected to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved
compatible PBX. Do not connect the MD 1600 as an
extension to a payphone.

The ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) of all
instruments (phones, fax machines, etc.) connected to
an exchange line must not add up to more than 4 —
otherwise, one or more of them may not ring and/or
answer calls correctly. The MD 1600 has a REN of 1
(this is not affected by having more than one handset),
and most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless
marked otherwise.

The base unit and charger pod should each be placed
on a level surface, in a position where:

■

the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible

AC switched mains supply socket — never try

230-V

to lengthen the mains power cable

■

the telephone line cable will reach your telephone
line socket or extension socket (base unit only;
charger pods have no connection to the telephone
line)

■

it is not close to another telephone — this can
cause radio interference during calls

■

it is not close to a sink, bath or shower, or
anywhere else where it might get wet

■

it is not close to other electrical equipment —
fridges, washing machines, microwave ovens, TVs,
fluorescent lights, etc.

Radio signals
between the
handset and
the base unit

Mains power
connections

To use your handset and base unit together, you must
be able to establish a radio link between them. Be
aware that:

Siting the base unit as high as possible will give

■

better results — for example, in a two-storey house,
the best position may be on the first-floor landing.

Any large metal object — like a refrigerator, a mirror

■

or a filing cabinet — between the handset and base
unit may block the radio signal.

Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the

■

signal strength.

IMPORTANT — please note that:

The MD 1600 base unit must be used with mains

■

adapter, part no. XX002147D, supplied with the
unit.

■

The MD 1600/160 charger pod must be used with
mains adapter, part no. XX002147D, supplied with
the unit.

Using any other adapters will result in non-compliance
with EN60950, and will invalidate any approval given to
this apparatus.

Before you start

Electrical
safety

DO NOT let the base unit get wet. Electrical

◆

equipment can cause serious injury if used while you are
wet or standing in water.

If the base unit ever falls into water, DO NOT retrieve it

◆

until you have unplugged the power lead from the
mains and the telephone line plug from the telephone
socket; then pull it out by the unplugged cables.

NEVER use your MD 1600 outdoors during a thunder

◆

storm — unplug the base unit from the telephone line
and the mains socket when there are storms in your
area. Damage caused by lightning is not covered by the
guarantee.

Interference If the sound quality gets worse as you move around

while on a call, this is probably due to interference
between the handset and the base unit, perhaps
because you are too near to another phone or other
electrical equipment. Move to a different position to
clear the interference. If you do not move, your call
may be cut off.

Radio interference in the environment may occasionally
cause a short break in the link between the handset and
the base unit while you are on a call. The handset’s
display will flash briefly, while the unit automatically
changes to a different channel to restore the link.

Keeping the
batteries
charged

When you don’t need to carry your handsets around
(for example, at night), leave them on the base unit or
charger pod, to keep the batteries charged.

Whenever the battery charge level symbol on the
display shows ‘nearly empty’, replace the handset on
the base unit or charger pod.

Before you start

‘Out of range’

warning

Cleaning and
care

If you hear a warning tone as you move around during
a call, and/or the sound in the earpiece becomes faint
or distorted, you may be going out of range of the base
unit.

Move nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds, until
the tone stops. Otherwise, your call may be cut off.

While you are out of range and you are not on a call,
the handset’s display shows search and the ‘signal
level’ symbol flashes. Before you can make a call, you
must move closer to the base unit until the handset’s
name and number are displayed and the symbol stops
flashing.

(If you don’t want to hear the ‘out of range’ warning
tone, you can turn it off as described on page 21.)

◆ Do not clean any part of your MD 1600 with benzene,

thinner or other solvent chemicals — this may cause
permanent damage which is not covered by the
Guarantee. When necessary, clean it with a damp
cloth.

◆

Keep your MD 1600 away from hot, humid conditions
or strong sunlight, and don’t let it get wet.

◆

Every effort has been made to ensure high standards of
reliability for your MD 1600. However, if something
does go wrong, please do not try to repair it yourself
— consult your supplier or the Binatone Help Line.

3 gives D, e, f, 3 … etc.

For example, to key in jane — press 5 once, press 2 once, press 6 twice
and press 3 twice.

After keying in a character, wait for the cursor (the flashing line) to move to
the next position before you key in the next one.

Caller Display

If you subscribe to this feature from your service
provider, you can see the phone numbers of people
calling you, before you answer. The MD 1600 will store
the numbers of the last 30 calls so that you can call
them back later. Each Caller Display record includes:

The caller’s name, if it’s one you’ve already stored in

■

your phone’s memory.

The caller’s number (up to 20 digits). A caller’s

■

number won’t be displayed if the network they’re
calling from doesn’t support this feature. Also, callers
can withhold their ID by dialling 141 when they
make a call. If the caller’s number wasn’t available, the
display shows a row of dashes.

Multi-handset use

If you have a MD 1600 Twin, Triple or Quad system,
you will already have two, three or four handsets. You
can also buy spare handsets and charger pods separately
— they’re supplied as a Binatone MD 160 system.

Altogether, you can have up to five handsets
registered to the base unit, as numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5.

With more than one handset registered to your base
unit, you can:

make intercom calls from one handset to another

■

make a new intercom call while you are on an

■

outside call

shuttle between an outside call and an intercom call

■

transfer an outside call from one handset to another

■

set up a three-way conference call between

■

yourself, an outside call and an intercom call

Each handset has its own number — 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 —
which is shown on the right-hand side of the display.

You can change the handset’s name from micro to a
name of your choice, as described on page 22.

Please note

◆

Among the handsets registered to a single base unit,
only one outside call and two intercom calls can take
place at once.

◆

If you try to make an outside call while another handset
is already on the line, you will hear Busy tone.

◆

If you try to make an intercom call when one is already
in progress, you will hear Busy tone.

◆

When one handset has taken the outside line, the EXT
symbol will appear on the displays of all other handsets.

Troubleshooting

The MD 1600 must be serviced by trained engineers.

!

NEVER attempt any repairs or adjustments yourself
— you could make the problem worse and invalidate
the Guarantee.

ALWAYS check
first that:

“I cannot make

or answer calls.”

you have followed the steps listed on pages to to

◆

install and set up your MD 1600

all connectors are firmly inserted in their sockets

◆

mains power is switched on at the socket

◆

the handset’s batteries are correctly and securely

◆

installed, and are not run down

Everyday use

Check that the base unit’s mains power adapter is
plugged in and power is switched on. The base unit
needs mains power for normal operation of the phone
— not just for charging the batteries.

Make sure you’re using the telephone line cable that
was supplied with your MD 1600. Other telephone line
cables might not work.

Move the handset closer to the base unit.

Check the Battery Level symbol on the display. If it is
low, replace the handset on the base unit or charger
pod to recharge the batteries.

Switch off power at the mains socket, wait for a few
seconds and then switch back on. This may solve the
problem.

If you still can’t make calls, try re-registering the
handset, as described on page 34.

“The phone

Make sure the batteries are fitted in your handset. If
the Battery Level symbol on the display shows ‘low’,
recharge the batteries.

Press and hold the OK button until the handset comes
to life. The OK button switches the handset on and off.

Check whether there’s a ‘key’ symbol on the display. If
so, the keypad is locked. Turn to page 24 to find out
how to unlock it.

Call barring may have been set. See page 26 for more
information.

Try moving the handset closer to the base unit.

Try a different position for the base unit — perhaps
higher, or further from other electrical equipment.

Check that the base unit’s mains power adapter is
plugged in and power is switched on. The base unit
needs mains power for normal operation of the phone
— not just for charging the batteries.

Make sure you’re using the telephone line cable that
was supplied with your MD 1600. Other telephone line
cables might not work.

Check that you have not set the ringer volume to Off.
See pages 17 and 18 for more information.

Check that the total REN value of all equipment
connected to your telephone line is no more than 4 (see
page 2). Disconnect one or more telephones and see
whether that helps.

disconnecting it then making a call. If the sound is OK
without the routing box, that’s the cause of the
problem.

You’ll get the best results if you site the base unit as
high as possible. For example, in a two-storey house,
the first-floor landing is an ideal place for the base unit.

The strange noise is caused by interference. Disconnect
the mains power lead from the back of the base unit,
then wait for 30 seconds before reconnecting it.

You may be going out of range of the base unit. Move
closer, or your call may be cut off.

Check the Battery Level symbol on the display. If it is
low, recharge the batteries.

“The volume in

the earpiece is
low when I’m
on a call.”

Make sure you’re holding the earpiece correctly over
your ear.

Adjust the volume as decribed on page 9.

Troubleshooting

“The Caller

Display feature
isn’t working.”

“I’ve tried

several times to
make a call, but
I hear Busy tone
and the IN USE
light on the
base unit does
not come on.”

“I can’t transfer

a call.”

“The handset‘s

batteries are
running low
within an
hour or two.”

You need to subscribe to the Caller Display feature
from BT or your service provider.

The caller may have withheld their number by dialling

141. Or they may be calling from a network that does
not transmit the Caller ID (for example, it may be an
international call).

Check your handset’s display — if it says either

not sub or base...., you need to re-register the

handset, as described on page 34.

If the display says search 1, make sure the mains
power lead is plugged into the back of the base unit,
and the adapter is plugged into the mains socket with
the power switched on.

If you have more than one handset registered to your
base unit, check that another handset isn’t already in
use on a call.

Multi-handset use

Make sure the other handset is within range of the base
unit, and is not busy on a call.

Make sure you are keying in the correct number (1 to

5) for the other handset.

Batteries

Before you first used the handset, you should have left it
on the base unit or charger pod for up to 15 hours to
charge the batteries fully.

You may need to replace the batteries (see overleaf).

Troubleshooting

“The CHARGE

light on the
base unit does
not come on.“

“I try to

recharge the
batteries, but I
still get a
warning that
they are low.”

“Last Number

Redial and/or
memory dialling
don’t work on a
PBX.”

“My MD 1600

system won’t
work properly
on a PBX.“

Clean the battery charging contacts with a dry cloth.

Check the connections between the base unit and the

mains power socket.

You may need to replace the battery pack. To find out
how to obtain a replacement, call the Binatone Help

Line on 01325 304 473.

Dispose of used batteries safely — never burn them,

or put them where they could get punctured.

PBX use

When you first make a call, try pressing the CALLER
button for a pause between the outside line access digit
(e.g. 9) and the telephone number. You should later be
able to redial the number.

When storing numbers in memory, you can include the
outside line access digit (e.g. 9) with each number.

If your PBX requires you to wait for a second Dial tone
before dialling the telephone number, press the CALLER
button for a pause between the access digit and the
number.

You may need to change the recall setting. Call the
Binatone Help Line for advice. It will help if you have
your PBX documentation to hand when you make the
call.

If the fault persists …

Disconnect all other instruments connected to the

◆

same line as the MD 1600 and see whether you can
make a call.

Disconnect the base unit from the telephone line and

◆

plug a different phone into the master telephone
socket. Try making a call. If this works, the line is OK.

If the call does not work, and you are using a two-way

◆

socket adapter, remove it and plug a telephone directly
into the socket. If the call now works, the adapter may
be faulty.

If you cannot make a call, the fault may be on the

◆

exchange line. Contact the service provider (the BT
engineers on 151, or your cable company).

If you still cannot identify the cause of the problem,

◆

contact the Binatone Help Line on 01325 304 473.
