SETTING UP

If the icons on the display

flash continuously...

It means that the handset is not registered with the base station.

Ensure you have correctly carried out step 3 above. If the product has still not registered, please see “Registering manually” on page 39.

All additional handsets you purchase will need to be individually registered with the base station before they will work with the BT Diverse 5210.

Leave the handset for approx. 16 hours in the base station to charge the batteries, as they are not charged in the factory. The battery status icon flashes on the handset to indicate that the batteries are being charged.

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 performance

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.withandwithoutwires.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.
