Big Button 510 System

Important note — emergency calls
The Big Button 510 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
0845 345 9677
Calls are charged at Local Call rate.

Connection and conditions for use
You can connect your Big Button 510 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 Big Button 510 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 Big Button 510 has a REN of 1, and most
other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.

Choosing a site
for the base
unit and
charger pod
The base unit and charger pod(s) should 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 line cable will reach your
telephone 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.
Radio signals
between
handset and
base unit
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.
Mains power
connection IMPORTANT — The Big Button 510 base unit and charger pod must be used with the mains adapter
supplied with the unit. Using any other adapter will
result in non-compliance with EN60950, and will
invalidate any approval given to this apparatus.
Battery safety Only use the rechargeable batteries supplied with the
handset. DON’T use non-rechargeable batteries — they
may burst, causing damage.

Before you start
Electrical
safety ◆DO NOT 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 charger pod 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 (base unit only); then pull it out by
the unplugged cables.
◆NEVER use your Big Button 510 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.
Interference If the sound quality gets worse as you move around
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
handset’s display will flash briefly, while the unit
automatically restores the link.
‘Out of range’
warning If you hear a warning tone 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.
