SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety infor ation
Safety infor ation
General
Only use the power supply included
with the product. Using an
unauthorised power supply will
invalidate your guarantee and may
damage the telephone. Power supply
number is C39280-Z4-C478.
For the handset use only AAA 1.2V
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
rechargeable batteries with a minimum
capacity of 700 mAh. Never use other
batteries or conventional alkaline
batteries. They could lead to a short
circuit or destroy the battery casing.
Batteries and accessories are available
from www.witha dwithoutwires.com
or call 0870 240 5522.
If the Keyguard is switched on, it is
NOT possible to make calls, including
emergency numbers (999/112).
Do not open the charger or handset
(other than to change batteries). This
could expose you to high voltages or
other risks.
Radio signals transmitted between the
handset and base may cause interference
to hearing aids.
This product should not be used near
emergency/intensive care medical
equipment and should not be used by
people with pacemakers.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There
is a serious risk of explosion and/or the
release of highly toxic chemicals.
Cleaning
Simply clean the charger and handset
with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an
anti-static wipe. Never use household
polish as this will damage the product.
Never use a dry cloth as this may cause
a static shock.
Environ ental
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
The product may heat up when the
batteries are being recharged. This is
normal. However, we recommend that
you do not place the product on
antique/veneered wood to avoid damage.
Do not stand your product on carpets or
other surfaces which generate fibres, or
place it in locations preventing the free
flow of air over its surfaces.
Do not submerge any part of your
product in water and do not use it in
damp or humid conditions, such as
bathrooms.
Do not expose your product to fire,
explosive or other hazardous conditions.
There is a slight chance that your phone
could be damaged by an electrical storm.
We recommend that you unplug the
power and telephone line cord during an
electrical storm.

SETTING UP
Plan the location
Situate your product close enough to
a mains power socket so that the cable
will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away
from other electrical products to avoid
interference.
Do not situate the product in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
IMPORTANT
Please note that your handset is NOT
registered to a base station. The BT
Diverse 5300 handset will be easily
registered once you complete the steps
1 to 3 below.

SETTING UP
Insert the two batteries supplied, as
indicated inside the battery
compartment and slide the battery
compartment cover shut.
I sert the batteries Registeri g the ha dset
If the ico s o the display
flash co ti uously...
It means that the handset is not
registered with the base station.
Ensure you have correctly carried out
step 3 above. If the product is still not
registered see Registering Manually
on page 12.
All additional handsets you purchase
will need to be individually registered
with the base station before they
will work.
The battery cover may be found in the
packaging with the batteries.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be used.
Using incorrect batteries will invalidate
your guarantee and may damage the
telephone.
To register your handset to a BT Diverse
5310 or 5350 base station, place it in the
main BT Diverse 5300 base station with
the display facing upward. After approx.
one minute, the handset's internal
number is displayed (e.g. 2).
Successful registration is signalled by
a confirmation tone.
Replace the newly registered handset
into the charger and leave to charge for
approximately 16 hours. The charging
status icon flashes on the handset to
indicate that the batteries are being
charged.
When the handset is registered the
display will show:

SETTING UP
Battery level icons
When the batteries are almost flat a
beep sounds and the display shows the
empty battery icon. You will need to
recharge your handset before you can
use it. The various states of charge are
shown below:
Batteries fully charged
Batteries at 66%
Batteries at 33%
Batteries empty
Out of range?
If you go out of range of a base station
for a long time while your handset is
switched ON, it may take more than
20 minutes to ‘find’ the base station
again when you come back within
range. However, by simply switching
the handset OFF for a moment, then
ON again, it will find the base station
within a few seconds.
Battery perfor ance
Batteries and case may become warm
during charging. This is normal.
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 13 hours
talktime or 170 hours standby time on
a single charge. However, new NiMH
batteries do not reach their full
capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
The charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, so reducing the talk/standby
time of the handset. Eventually they
will need to be replaced. New batteries
are available from
www.witha dwithoutwires.com
or call 0870 240 5522.
If you replace the handset batteries
with ones that have been fully charged,
the battery indicator will not show full
until the next charge cycle has been
completed. Charge the handset until
the batteries register full again. From
then on the display will be correct.
