Play it safe
We all know it’s better to be safe than
sorry, so have a read of the BoB2TM handset
safety precautions before setting up:
• Only use the supplied charging cradle
and mains adapter
• It’s important you only use the
recommended rechargeable batteries.
Avoid conventional (non-rechargeable)
batteries or any other type of battery
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 the handset to
your ear when it’s ringing or when the
handsfree function is activated as you
risk serious or permanent damage to
your hearing. The handset may cause a
humming noise in hearing aids.
• The handset and its charging cradle
are not splash proof, so it’s best to
not install it in bathrooms or near the
kitchen sink.
• Do not use your phone in
environments with a potential
explosion hazard, for example, a paint
shop.
• If you give your BoB2
TM
handset
to someone else, equip them with
this manual and ensure to reset the
handset to factory default settings.
Setting up your BoB2TM handset
Ok, it’s time to set up so you can start talking.
Firstly, remove the protective film from the BoB2TM handset display screen.
Powering up the BoB2TM handset

Registering the BoB2TM handset
On the handset
With the batteries in place, your BoB2TM handset screen may begin flashing ‘Please register’. If it does,
follow these simple steps below, otherwise jump to the next page.
• Press on the right side of the control key (it’s the one that looks like a square) to display the main menu.
• Scroll down, using the control key, to ‘Settings’ and press OK using the display key to the bottom right of the
screen.
• Now with the ‘Settings’ sub menu open, scroll down and select ‘Handset’ and press OK.
• Scroll down again until you hit ‘Register H/Set’ and press OK.
• Enter the system PIN number (the default is 0000) and press OK.
• You should see a message on the screen that says ‘Regstr.Procedure Base 1’. This indicates that the registration
procedure has started.
On the BoB2TM modem
Within 60 seconds of completing the above, press and hold the centre button on the back of
BoB2TM that’s labeled ‘add extra hs/set’ for about three seconds.
Following succesful registration, the handset will display ‘Base 1’. If the registration was unsuccessful, repeat the above
process.
The first battery charge and discharge
To keep your BoB2TM handset in top notch condition, follow the below steps for the first battery charge and discharge.
1. Place the handset in the charger for six hours or until the battery is completely full.
2. Then, remove the handset and allow for the battery to discharge to the point where you can’t turn it on.
3. Now, fully charge the handset once again. You can then use the handset as normal, returning it to the charging
cradle after a call or whenever suits you.
Note – you will have to repeat the above process if you remove or replace the batteries.
Hey BoB, what’s the time? Setting the date and time
It’s a good idea to set the date and time so you know when calls come in, plus, you’ll also be able to make use of the alarm.
1. Press the display key below ‘Time’ on the screen to open the input field.
2. Enter the day, month and year as a six digit number via the keypad. For example, 01072011 for 1 July, 2011.

example, 1915 for 7:15pm.
4. To finish, press the display key below ‘Save’ to save the settings.
