DECT

By purchasing your Diverse Cordless Socket you now own a product which combines the advantages of cordless operation with the performance of a high quality telephone. It complies with the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard and offers unparalleled quality and features.

Important

Plan where you will put your Cordless Socket. It should be within 2 metres of a power socket otherwise an extension cable will be needed.

You can mount your Cordless Socket on a wall or let it lie flat on a desk top or shelf.

The maximum range between a Diverse base station and the Cordless Socket is 50 metres indoors and 300 metres outdoors. If you are planning to wall mount your Cordless Socket, first follow the steps in the Setting up section and you can then check the range.

Warning

  1. Do not try to use any power supply except the one provided, otherwise you may permanently damage your Cordless Socket. It will also result in non-compliance with EN41003:1993 and invalidate the approval given to this apparatus.
  2. There is a slight chance that your equipment could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug your Cordless Socket from the mains power and telephone line socket during storms.
  3. If you wear a hearing aid, please note that the Cordless Socket works by sending radio signals between the base station and handset. These signals can interfere with hearing aids, causing a humming noise.
  4. The Cordless Socket can interfere with other electrical equipment, such as answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radio/ alarms, medical equipment and computers if placed too close. We recommend that you place your Cordless Socket at least one metre away from such appliances to avoid any risk of interference.
  5. It is possible that the range may be decreased by being near bodies of water (such as ponds, lakes, the sea).

  6. The Cordless Socket will produce a certain amount of heat during operation. Equally, the power supply cable can also become warm. This is entirely safe, but we advise against placing the product on antique, veneered or wooden surfaces as damage may occur.

  7. Do not use your Cordless Socket or phone in bathrooms, near fire or water, or in areas where there is a danger of explosion.
  8. Clean the Diverse Cordless Socket with a damp (not wet) cloth or antistatic wipe. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

IMPORTANT

The operating sequences described in the following pages apply to a corded telephone or fax machine connected to the Cordless Socket. To use all the functions, you will need a product with Tone dialling (TouchTone®) and a Timed Break Recall button. Refer to your telephone or fax machine user guide for this information.

Phones which only have Pulse dialling and phones with no RECALL button, or those which only use Earth Recall, are not recommended for use with the Diverse Cordless Socket.

If you are in any doubt as to the compatibility of your equipment or switchboard, please call the Diverse Helpline on 0345 90 80 70.

Setting up follow these steps to get your Diverse Cordless Socket ready for use.

If you need help with using your Cordless Socket, please call the Diverse Helpdesk on 0345 90 80 70.

1. Connecting up

Connect your Cordless Socket to a telephone or fax machine using the telephone socket adaptor.

2. Plug in the mains power adaptor

Plug the mains power adaptor cable into the base of the Cordless Socket and then into the mains socket. Do not switch on the mains power. Before you can use your Cordless Socket, you must first register it with your Diverse Base Station. See page 8, for Diverse 1010/1015/2010/2015 or page 12 for Diverse 2-Line.

General

Clean the Diverse Cordless Socket with a damp (not wet) cloth or an antistatic wipe. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

Service

Within warranty

If you experience a problem with your Cordless Socket you should contact the Diverse Helpline on 0345 90 80 70. Calls are charged at local call rates. If the problem is not remedied, you will be advised to contact your original point of purchase.

Some suppliers offer extended warranty schemes for cover outside the initial 12-month period. Please ask them for details.

Outside warranty

If your Cordless Socket becomes faulty after the warranty period has ended, it must be repaired so as to remain compliant with the approval requirements for connection to the telephone network. We recommend that you call the Diverse Helpline on 0345 90 80 70, which will provide details of our recommended repair agents.

If you have to return your Cordless Socket

Pack the Cordless Socket securely, preferably in the original packaging. (No responsibility can be taken for goods damaged in transit.)

Help if you experience any problems, the following may provide a simple solution.

Your Diverse Cordless Socket has been designed to be easy to use. However, if you experience any difficulties, some simple answers are outlined in this section.

If you need any further assistance the Diverse Helpline is available to you on 0345 90 80 70.

Dial tones

There are three types of dial tone:

  • Cordless Socket dial tone – you hear this when you first lift the telephone handset or set your fax machine ready to dial.
  • Internal dial tone – produced by the base station.
  • External dial tone – this is the external line tone produced by the telephone exchange.

No Cordless Socket dial tone or no other tone present

  • Check that your telephone, answering machine or fax machine is correctly plugged into the cordless socket.
  • Check that the mains power is properly connected and that the power is switched on.

  • Check that the mains power is properly connected and that the power is switched on.

  • Check the mains power fuse has not blown.
  • Check that the power adaptor cable and telephone socket adaptor are plugged into the correct sockets on the underside of the Cordless Socket – see the illustration under Setting up, page 7.

No Cordless Socket dial tone, but you hear rapid pips

  • The cordless socket may not be registered with the base station.
  • The cordless socket may be out of range of the base station it is registered with.
  • The base station may be switched off.

No internal dial tone

If you hear a series of slow beeps when the telephone handset is lifted, press the 9 button. You should then hear the internal dial tone. This should be done within 12 seconds of lifting the handset and indicates that you are connected to a switchboard that requires you dial 9 to get an outside line.

No external dial tone

  • All external lines may be in use.
  • Call restrictions may have been set on the base station so that outgoing calls are not allowed from the cordless socket.

Can get an external dial tone and dial out, but the call fails

  • Call restrictions may have been set. See the Call Barring section in the user guide for your base station.
  • You may be pausing too long before dialling each digit. The system allows up to 4.5 seconds between each button push.
  • If connected to a switchboard/ PBX, you may need to include the external line access code. (this is usually 9).
  • If you have a Diverse 2-Line base station, and the Automatic External Line function is switched OFF, you will need to start by dialling a line access code: 0, 1 or 2 before the rest of your number.
  • If you have a Diverse 2-Line base station and the Automatic External Line function is switched ON, you may be dialling a line access code (0, 1 or 2) unnecessarily.

Call allocation

It is possible to set which handsets and telephones should ring when an external call comes in. There are two types of call allocation which can be set for each individual external line, collective ringing and group ringing. Please refer to your Diverse 2-Line user guide for instructions on how to set this up.

A telephone connected to the cordless socket does not ring with any call

The ringer volume on the telephone may be set too low or switched off. See your phone's user guide.

A telephone connected to the cordless socket rings only with internal calls

The cordless socket may not be included in the call group for the external lines. You will need to change the ring allocation setting. See your Diverse base station user guide.

There is an audible hum on a telephone connected to the cordless socket

This may be due to radio interference. Try moving the telephone further away from the cordless socket (at least 1 metre). Ensure that the telephone is at least 1 metre away from any other cordless socket and base station.

Base station is connected to a switchboard/PBX but the telephone attached to the cordless socket cannot use its services

The telephone connected to the cordless socket may be set to Pulse dialling (P) or to Tone dialling with Earth Recall (T). The cordless socket only recognises Time Break Recall so your telephone must be set to Tone dialling with Time Break Recall (TTB). To do this, see your telephone user guide.

You dial an internal number but get the wrong person

  • The person on the other end of the line may have picked up the wrong handset.
  • If the cordless socket is registered to more than one base station, it may be logged on to the wrong one.

After hanging up a telephone connected to a cordless socket, it rings. When you answer, no-one is there

An external call may have been put on hold. When you hang up, the base station rings you back to reconnect your call. If you hear nothing, the other caller has also hung up.

You are unable to enter numbers requested by an announcement service

The base station may be set to Pulse dialling. You can instruct the system to switch to Tone dialling for the duration of the call by pressing the 7 button once you are connected to the announcement service.

Fax machine connected to Cordless Socket – ringing sometimes stops before it can answer

Another telephone or handset in the same call group as the Cordless Socket may be answering the call before the fax machine can and the user is not transferring the call to the Fax machine. If you have two external lines available at the base station, you should consider dedicating one of them for fax calls.

This is done by nominating only the fax machine to ring on one of the lines and not including it in the other group. See Call Allocation (collective ringing and group ringing) in the user guide for your base station.

After switching between two calls (pressing the RECALL and 8 buttons) the wrong call is returned

This may be due to pressing the RECALL and 8 buttons during the wrong call. When switching between calls, you need to appreciate the following points. You made your first call and then a second call to consult someone. To make the second call, you had to put the first call on hold and your current call became your consultation call. When you started to switch calls, the current call and the call on hold changed. By pressing the RECALL and 8 buttons you closed the current call and returned to the call you had put on hold.
