Important note — emergency calls
The S2300 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 S2300
In the box are:
■

with a Twin system; three with a Triple system; four
with a Quad system; five with a Quin system
■
one base unit and answering machine
■
a mains power lead and adapter for the base unit
■
a telephone line cable for the base unit
■
a rechargeable battery pack and a battery

four charger pods, each with mains power lead and
adapter attached
Keep the packaging materials in a safe place in
case you later need to transport the unit.

Choosing a site
for the base
unit and

Radio signals
between
handset and
base unit
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
■
230-V
AC switched mains supply socket — never try
to lengthen the mains power cable
the base unit’s telephone cable will reach your tele
■
phone line socket or extension socket (the charger
pod does not have a telephone line connection)
it is not close to another telephone — this can cause
■
radio interference
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, fluorescent lights, TVs etc.
The charger pod can be wall mounted if you prefer,
using the template supplied.
To use your handset and base unit together, you must
be able to establish a radio link between them. Be
aware that:
■
Any large metal object — like a refrigerator, a mirror
or a filing cabinet — between the handset and the
base unit may block the radio signal.
■
Other solid structures, like walls, may reduce the
signal strength.
Read these notes first
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 S2300 has a REN of 1, and
most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked
-
Mains power
connection
otherwise.
IMPORTANT — the S2300 base unit and charger pod
must be used with the mains adapters supplied.
Using any other adapter will result in non-compliance
with EN60950, and will invalidate any approval given to
this apparatus.
Electrical
safety
◆ DON’T let the base unit or charger pod get wet.
Electrical equipment can cause serious injury if used
while you are wet or standing in water.
◆ If the base unit (or the charger pod) ever falls into
water, DON’T 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 S2300 outdoors during a thunderstorm
— 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.
Connection
and conditions
for use
You can connect your S2300 to a direct exchange line
(DEL) — a line connected to a local exchange, with its
own phone number; to an extension socket connected
to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved compatible
PBX. Do not connect the S2300 as an extension to a
payphone.

while on a call, this is probably caused by 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

If you hear a warning tone during a call, and/or the
sound in the earpiece becomes faint or distorted, you

If you check your messages remotely, you can set TollSaver — the machine will answer after two rings if
there are new messages; after five rings if there are no
new messages. So, if it hasn’t answered after two rings,
you can hang up to save the cost of the call.
When the machine is switched off, it will answer after

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

Batteries
Before you first use the handset, you should have left it
on the base unit or charger pod for up to 15 hours to
charge the batteries fully. Repeat this.
You may need to replace the batteries. Contact the
Binatone Help Line for advice.
Clean the battery charging contacts with a dry cloth.

Dispose of used batteries safely — never burn

The answering machine
Check the FULL light. If it is flashing, you need to
delete enough recorded messages to free at least one
minute’s recording time. Or you can delete all recorded
messages to make room for new ones (see page 24).
Make sure the machine is switched on — the
ANSWER/MESSAGE light should be on.
Make sure you have not selected OGM2 — with OGM2
selected, callers cannot leave messages (see page 20).
Make sure you are using the correct remote securitycode.
Check that you are using a suitable tone-diallingphone. Some cordless or mobile phones do not
generate continuous tones and so are not ideal for
remote operation.
Don’t leave more than 10 seconds between key presses;
otherwise, your call will be cut off.
Using your S2300 on a PBX
When you first make a call, try pressing the LNR/P
button for a pause between the outside line access digit

If the fault persists …
◆ Disconnect all other instruments connected to the
same line as the S2300 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.
