Play it Safe
We all know it’s better to be safe than sorry, so have a read of the BoB2™ handset safety precautions before
you get started:
• Only use the supplied charging cradle and power adapter
• It’s important that you only use the recommended rechargeable batteries. Avoid using conventional non-
rechargeable batteries as this can pose health risks and cause personal injury.
• The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of the technical conditions in your
environment.
• Do not hold the rear of your handset to your ear when it is ringing or when the loudspeaker function is
activated. This can cause serious or permanent damage to your hearing. Please note: the handset may
cause a humming noise in some hearing aids.
• The handset and its charging cradle are not splash-proof, so it’s best not to leave it near any taps or sinks.
• Do not use your phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard (e.g. a paint shop).
• If you give your BoB2™ handset to someone else, give them this manual and ensure you return the
handset to factory default settings.

Firstly, remove the protective film from the BoB2™ handset display screen.
Powering up
Please only use rechargeable batteries in your BoB2™ handset. Using non-rechargeable batteries could pose
health risks and cause damage to the handset.
To open the battery cover, apply slight pressure and then slide the cover towards the base of the handset.
1. Insert the batteries as indicated by the symbols in the battery compartment.
2. To close the battery cover, align the two clips with the grooves then slide the cover upwards.
3. You will hear a click as the cover locks into place.
4. If the handset does not power on, press and hold the red end call key.
The first battery charge and discharge
To keep your BoB2™ handset in top notch condition, follow the steps below for the first battery charge and
discharge.
1. Plug the charging cradle into an electrical outlet using the supplied power adapter.
2. Place your BoB2™ handset in the charger for six hours or until the battery is completely full.
3. Then remove the handset and allow the battery to discharge to the point where it will no longer turn on.
4. You can now fully charge the handset again and use it as normal. Please note, you will need to repeat the
above process if you replace the batteries.
Getting started with your BoB2™ handset

8
Turning your BoB2™ handset on and off
When your BoB2™ handset is in idle status (that means there’s no call in progress), press and hold the end call
key to switch it off. When the handset is off, repeat the same step until the display screen lights up to turn it
back on again.
Please note that you’ll need to reset the time and date on your BoB2™ handset whenever you turn it off.
Setting the time and date
Hey BoB2™, what’s the time? Setting the time and date on your BoB2™ handset lets you know when your
calls come in, and it means you can make use of the alarm feature.
1. Press the display key below ‘Time’ at the bottom of the screen to open the time and date settings.
2. Enter the day, month and year as a six digit number using the keypad (DDMMYY). For example, you’d enter
260114 for the 26th of January, 2014.
3. Using the arrow buttons on the control key, scroll down to select the ‘Time’ option. Using the keypad,
enter the hour and minutes as a four digit number in 2400 time (HH MM). For example, you’d enter 1915
for 07:15PM.
4. To finish, press the display key below ‘Save’ at the bottom of the screen.

Registering your BoB2™ handset
On the BoB2™ handset
After you’ve powered it up, your BoB2™ handset screen may begin flashing
with the message ‘Please register’. If it does, follow the simple steps
below. You usually need to register any additional BoB2™ handsets you
have purchased.
1. Press on the right side of the control key as shown to bring up the main
menu.
2. Scroll down to ‘Settings’ using the control key and press the display
button below ‘OK’.
3. In this menu, scroll down to the ‘Handset’ option and press ‘OK’.
4. Scroll down again until you hit ‘Register H/Set’, then press ‘OK’.
5. Using the keypad, enter the handset PIN number (the default is 0000)
and press ‘OK’. .
6. You’ll see a message on the display screen that reads ‘Regstr.Procedure
Base 1’. You can then complete the final step below.
On the BoB2™ modem
Within 60 seconds of completing the above steps, press and hold the
centre button of the back of BoB2™ for about three seconds. It’s the one
labelled ‘add extra h/set’.
Following successful registration, the handset will display ‘Base 1’ on the
screen. If you don’t see this message on the display screen, repeat the
above steps.

10
Setting up your Netphone VoIP service
If you’re using the BoB2™ handset for your standard phone service, you just need to make sure you have the
cables plugged in as shown on page 7 in the BoB2™ Quick Start Guide.
However, if you have a Netphone or iiTalk VoIP service to make calls over the internet, you’ll need to put
your VoIP number and password into your BoB2™ settings. You can find out how to do that on page 28 in the
BoB2™ Quick Start Guide.
The best of both worlds
If you have both types of phone services, don’t worry! BoB2™ can receive calls made to both your home
phone and your Netphone numbers.
As long as your internet connection is working, your outgoing calls will be made using your cheaper
Netphone VoIP service. A warning message will play if the outgoing call can’t be made on your Netphone VoIP
– this will stop you from accidentally calling overseas numbers at full price!
Keen to use a headset?
The BoB2™ handset is compatible with a headset. We recommend the M214C Plantronics Cordless Phone
Headset, which is available from most leading retailers.
You can plug your headset in at the base of the BoB2™ handset.

11
Control Key
The control key acts like the steering wheel for your BoB2™ handset – it takes you
where you need to go. It has a number of different functions depending on what
page is one the display screen. Here’s a rundown on using the control key:
When the handset is in idle status (no calls or menus open)

Going back to idle status
Idle status is when no call is in progress and there are no menus open on the display screen. Press the end call
key to move back through the menu levels and return to idle status.

Oops! Correcting incorrect entries
If you’ve accidentally pressed the wrong key when entering text or dialling numbers, it’s easy to fix. Just
move the cursor to the incorrect entry using the arrows on the control key then do one of the following:
• Insert a character to the right of the cursor
• Delete the character to the left of the cursor using the left-hand display key
• When entering the time and date, overwrite the flashing character
Keypad Lock
Locking the keypad of the BoB2™ handset prevents any accidental use while you’re carrying it around.
1. When your handset is in idle status, press and hold the hash key to lock or unlock the keypad.
2. You’ll hear a tone to confirm that the keypad is locked or unlocked.
3. While the keypad lock is active, you’ll see a key icon at the top of the display screen. You’ll also see a
message on the display screen if any keys are pressed.
4. The keypad lock will automatically turn off when a call is received. It will turn back on when the call
is finished.

Everyone loves a shortcut! Rather than scrolling through the options in the Settings sub-menu to find what
you’re after, you can go straight there using shortcut combinations.
Here’s how:
With the BoB2™ handset in idle status, press to open the main menu. Then, enter the numbers on the next
page to take you where you want to go.
