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.

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.
