Introduction
Your Diverse Deskphone has been designed for ease of use and made to the high standards set by BT.
Please read the instructions carefully before use and retain this user guide for future reference.
Your Diverse Deskphone is designed for use with a Diverse telephone system. It must be registered to an existing base station before it will work.
This guide explains the basic features of the Diverse Deskphone. For more comprehensive instructions, see your main Diverse user guide. The instructions for using a Diverse Deskphone are the same as using a Diverse 2000 Executive Handset. If you have a Diverse 2-Line or ISDN base station, you should also follow the more detailed instructions for the Executive Handset as described in the user guides that are supplied with the base station.
DECT
By purchasing your Diverse Deskphone, you now own a product that offers flexibility of location, combined with the performance advantages of a high-quality telephone system. It complies with the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard and offers unparalleled quality and features.
Building up a phone system
You can add further handsets or Deskphones to your base stations to build up a comprehensive and easy-to-use cordless telephone system.
Most Diverse base stations can have up to 6 handsets or Deskphones registered to them (the Diverse 2-Line and Diverse ISDN will register 8). You can register your Diverse Deskphone at up to three base stations.

Important information
- Do not use any power supply other than the one provided with your telephone unit (supplied BT unit C39280-Z4-C66). Use of other power supply units may cause irreparable damage to your telephone; it will invalidate your warranty and the approval given to the apparatus.
- Research has shown that in certain cases medical equipment can be affected by cordless telephones. A distance of at least one metre should therefore be observed between the telephone and medical equipment. Also follow any special instructions from the institution in which the product is to be used.
- Diverse telephone systems can also interfere with other electrical equipment, e.g., answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock/radio alarms, and computers, if placed too close. To avoid risk of interference, place the unit at least one metre away.
- If you wear a hearing aid, please note that a humming noise may result from the radio signals sent between the base station and handset.
- There is a slight chance that your phone could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug your Diverse Deskphone from the mains power during storms.
- Do not use the unit in bathrooms, near fire or water, or in areas where there is a danger of explosion.
- Clean the Diverse Deskphone with a damp (not wet) cloth or antistatic wipe. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

Installation
Follow these steps to set up your Diverse Deskphone ready for use.
Plan the location of your Diverse Deskphone
Make sure your Diverse Deskphone is within 2 metres of the phone and mains sockets.
1 Connect the handset to the Deskphone
Put the connector (at the straight long end of the handset cord) into the socket marked on the underside of the telephone. Secure the cord in its groove. Insert the other end of the cord into the handset.

2 Connect the Deskphone to the mains power supply
Insert the telephone power supply lead into the socket marked on the underside of the telephone. Put the other end of the plug-in power unit into a 220/230V electricity socket.

For your own safety use only the BT approved plug-in power unit (C39280-Z4-C66) supplied with your telephone.
To make and receive calls your telephone needs to be positioned within range of its base station. The maximum range inside most buildings is 50 metres. Outside, the range is extended to approximately 300 metres (the range will vary depending on where your Diverse base station and Diverse Deskphone are sited, and the conditions within your building). You can set your telephone to beep if it is not within range. See page 23.
In order to ensure that you achieve the maximum range possible with your Diverse system, please note the following advice:
Install the base station in a central location in your home or office. Avoid placing the base station or Deskphone:
- Behind metal doors.
- Under the stairs.
- Behind heavy furniture or cabinets.
- In rooms with thick or metal walls.
- Near other electrical equipment, as it may generate electrical interference. • In the bathroom or other damp rooms.
These locations will reduce the optimum range between the base station and the attached handsets/Deskphones.
You will now need to register your Deskphone to a Diverse base unit.

Additional Features
Security
Using and changing the Deskphone PIN code
As a digital phone system, your Diverse provides excellent security features against others ‘listening in’ to your calls. You can also prevent others from changing your Deskphone settings, and your phonebook entries. Each phone needs to be registered with the base station. To do this you need to know and use the system code.
The default setting for both the Deskphone PIN and system code is 0000.
To change the system code, please refer to your base station user guide.
To set or change the Deskphone PIN (personal identification number)
If you change your Diverse Deskphone PIN, please keep a note of it in the box provided at the front of this book.
PIN numbers can be up to eight digits long, and can consist of any combination of the numbers 0-9.
If you enter an incorrect PIN number while changing your PIN, the display returns to Handset Settings and you have to go through the process again.

Press the MENU button.

Highlight SETTINGS and then press OK.

Enter your current PIN number (default 0000). (If you make a mistake, use BACK, FORWARD, and DELETE to correct it.)

Press OK.

Enter your new PIN number and press OK.

Press OK. A confirmation beep is sounded and the message 'NEW PIN STORED!' is displayed.

Try not to forget your PIN number because expert technical help will be needed to release the phone. If you do forget your PIN, contact the Diverse Helpline on 0845 7908070.

Press OK. A confirmation beep is sounded and the message 'NEW PIN STORED!' is displayed.

In case of emergencies, you can still dial 999, even if the phone lock has been activated. To do this, the handset must be on the cradle. First dial 999 and then pick up the handset. If you are calling via a switchboard, you will need to dial the switchboard external dialling code (usually 0, 9 or R) before the 999.
Baby Alarm
To switch the baby alarm ON and OFF
The baby alarm sets up a connection between two telephones registered to the same base. When a noise registers in the first telephone, the second one rings. If the call to the second telephone is answered, conversation is possible. The standard setting for this service is OFF.
The standard setting for the sensitivity level of this alarm is 2. If you wish to change the sensitivity, see page 25.

Service
Within the warranty period
If you experience a problem with your Diverse Deskphone you should contact the Diverse Helpline on 0845 7908070. 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 the warranty period
If your Diverse Deskphone needs repair after the warranty period has ended, the repair must meet the approval requirements for connection to the telephone network. We recommend that you call the Diverse Helpline on 08457908070 for a list of our recommended repair agents.
If you have to return your Diverse Deskphone
Pack it securely, preferably in the original packaging. We cannot take responsibility for goods damaged in transit.
Emergency Calls
The emergency services can be contacted in the UK by dialling 999, or by dialling 112, which is valid in any country that is a member of the European Community. If your Diverse base station is connected to a switchboard, you can still dial the emergency services direct on 999. This number will connect you even if call barring has been set, but YOU MUST DIAL 999 BEFORE LIFTING YOUR HANDSET FROM THE TELEPHONE UNIT.
Please note: Some switchboards cannot dial out during a power failure.
If you have a problem, the following simple solutions may provide the answer.
No display appears
Check that the telephone is switched on. Check that the power unit is plugged in properly.
No dial tone
Check that the handset cord is plugged into the handset and the telephone unit. Check that the base station is switched on. If other telephones or handsets are registered on the same base, the outside line may already be in use. Wait until the call is finished and try again.
'Search Station' is flashing on the display or you cannot link up with the base station?
Check that your Deskphone is registered to a base station.
To register your Deskphone, see page 8. Check that the power cable is connected to the telephone unit and switched on at the wall socket.
Check that the phone is within range of a base station to which it is registered.
Also check that the base station is connected to the power point and switched on at the wall socket.
The telephone does not ring
The ringer volume may be set too low. Adjust the ringer volume by following the instructions on page 22.
Telephone beeps
If 'Search Station' is flashing, check that you are in range of your base station.
Buzzing noise on my radio, TV, answering machine or computer
Diverse is too close, causing interference. Move it another metre away.
The radio signals from the telephone to the base station may cause unpleasant interference for people with hearing aids.
