Introduction
Please read these instructions carefully
before use and keep this user guide for
future reference. For comprehensive
instructions, see your main Diverse user
guide.
Building up a phone system
You can add further handsets to build
up a comprehensive and easy-to-use
cordless telephone system. You can use
up to six separate handsets (8 with the
Diverse 2-Line and Diverse ISDN) with
each Diverse base station and up to four
base stations with each handset. Please
refer to your base station user guide for
more comprehensive information of the
configurations that are possible.
As this product is rechargeable, it is
normal that a certain amount of heat
will be produced in its day-to-day
operation. Whilst this is entirely safe we
would advise against placing the
product on antique, veneered or wooden
surfaces, as damage may occur.

WARNING
1 Use only approved nickel-cadmium
(NiCad) rechargeable batteries.
Never use any other batteries, or
conventional alkaline batteries.
Using such batteries could destroy
the battery casing, which is
dangerous.
Recommended batteries should have a
power rating of 600m Ah 1.2V.
Suitable batteries are listed on page 9
(batteries are available from the Diverse
helpline on 0345 908070 and your
local BT shop).
2Do not combine different battery types
in the same handset.
3Do not try to use any power supply
except the one provided, otherwise you
may permanently damage your Diverse.
It will also result in non-compliance with
EN41003: 1993, and will invalidate the
approval given to this apparatus.
4Do not use non-BT Diverse charging
units; this could damage the batteries.
5Research 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. All
regulations on the usage of cordless
phones issued by medical institutions
should also be followed.
6The Diverse handset can also interfere
with other electrical equipment e.g.
answering machines, TV and radio sets,
clock radio/ alarms and computers if

WARNING cont.
placed too close. It is recommended you
place your Diverse handset at least one
metre away from such appliances to
avoid any risk of interference.
7If you wear a hearing aid, please note
that the Diverse works by sending radio
signals between the base station and
handset. These signals can interfere
with hearing aids, causing a humming
noise.
8There is a slight chance that your
phone could be damaged by an
electrical storm. We recommend that
you unplug your Diverse from the
mains power and telephone line socket
during storms.
9Do not use your phone in bathrooms,
near fire or water, or in areas where
there is a danger of explosion.
10 Clean the handset and base station with
a damp cloth (not wet) or anti static
wipe. Never use a dry cloth or spray
cleaning fluid directly onto the phone.
11 Do not dispose of your batteries in
normal household rubbish and do not
place in water or a fire.
General cleaning
Simply clean the handset and base station
with a damp (not wet) cloth or antistatic
wipe. Never use a dry cloth as this may
cause a static shock. Never spray cleaning
fluid directly onto the telephone.
