Good quality batteries should provide up to six
months back-up, however following a power cut, if
display is showing ‘ ’ or power cut for more than
one day then the battery should be replaced.
Edition 5 10 March ‘99
Unscrew and open the battery cover on the
underside of the base. Clip the battery
connector cap to the terminals of a PP3 9V
battery (not supplied). Replace the cover.
2 Plug your Response 130 into

Warning
1Do not try to use any power supply except
the one provided, item code 871018, otherwise
you may permanently damage your Response
130 and this will result in non-compliance with
EN41003:1993, and will invalidate the approval
given to this apparatus.
2There is a slight chance that your phone
could be damaged by an electrical storm. We
recommend that you unplug the base unit from
the mains during storms.
1 Insert battery (for back-up only)
In the event of a power failure the back-up
battery prevents your Response 130 losing its
day/time setting, security code, outgoing message
and any messages or memos which have already
been recorded for up to 6 hours.
The answering machine will not operate until
power is restored.

3 Connect the mains adaptor
cord
Plug the mains adaptor cord into the socket
on the underside of your Response 130, then
plug the mains power adaptor into the mains
wall socket.
When the power is switched on, the display
lights up and shows ‘PF’. You will hear the
announcement ‘Please wait for 40 seconds’
while your Response 130 carries out a self-test.
The display counts down from ‘40’ to ‘00’.
When the countdown reaches ‘00’ the unit
will beep and announce the current setting of
the ANS DELAY switch (pre-set to two rings).
This is the number of times your Response 130
will ring before answering a call.
4 Set the dial mode
The MODE switch, which is located on the
underside of the base, selects tone ( T) or
pulse (P) with earth recall, or tone with time
break recall ( TB).
TB Your Response 130 is preset to this
position. Most modern exchanges use
TB for faster dialling and for services
such as BT’s Select Services and
telephone banking.
TSet the switch to this if you are
connected to a PBX switchboard with
earth line recall.
PSet the switch to this if you continue to
hear a dialling tone having dialled a
number when set to TB or T.
5 Set the ringer volume
The ringer switch is located on the underside
of the unit. There are 3 settings:
HI a loud ring; your Response 130 is pre-set
to this position.
LOW a quiet ring.
OFF no ring.

when in the upright position.
