Important note — emergency calls

The Fusion 2200/2210 is not designed for making emergency calls when the
mains power fails. So you should make alternative arrangements for
access to Emergency Services.
(This means that you should also have a basic phone that does not
need mains power, connected to your line so that you can make calls
during a power failure.)

11 Handset registration

!

 

The handset(s) supplied with your Fusion 2200/2210 base unit are already
registered — the first one as handset number 1, the second as number 2.
You don’t need to re-register them unless you have a problem.

To check whether a handset is registered, make sure mains power to the base
unit is switched on and the handset is within range. The handset’s display
should show its number, and the ‘signal level’ symbol on the display should
show three bars. If the display shows 

not sub

 , you need to re-register the

handset.

To register a new handset or to re-register a handset

Registering to a different brand of base unit

Your Fusion 2200/2210 handsets can be registered to any GAP-compatible base unit; or
you can register other GAP-compatible handsets to your Fusion 2200/2210 base unit. 

But we do not guarantee that all features or display messages will be available
using other manufacturers’ equipment

.

Follow the instructions in the 

base unit

’s User Guide to put the base unit into

registration mode (for example, step 1 of the registration procedure listed
here).

Follow the instructions in the 

handset

’s User Guide to register the handset

(for example, steps 2 to 5 listed here). If you need to enter a PIN code for the
base unit, refer to the 

base unit

’s User Guide.

If you have problems, contact the Binatone Help Line for more advice.

13 Troubleshooting

!

 

The Fusion 2200/2210 must be serviced by trained engineers. NEVER attempt 
any repairs or adjustments yourself — you could make the problem worse
and invalidate the Guarantee.

ALWAYS check
first that:

 you have followed the steps listed in Section 2 to install and

set up your Fusion 2200/2210

 all connectors are firmly inserted in their sockets

 mains power is switched on at the socket

 the handset’s batteries are correctly and securely installed,

and are not run down

Everyday use

“I cannot make or

answer calls.”

Check that the base unit’s 

mains power 

adapter is plugged in

and power is switched on. The base unit needs mains power for
normal operation of the phone — not just for charging the
batteries.

Make sure you’re using the 

telephone line cable 

that was

supplied with your Fusion 2200/2210

mightnot work.

. Other telephone line cables 

Move the handset 

closer 

to the base unit.

Check the 

Battery Level 

symbol on the display. If it is low,

replace the handset on the base unit or charger pod to recharge
the batteries.

Switch off power at the mains socket, wait for a few seconds and
then switch back on. This may solve the problem.

If you still can’t make calls, try 

re-registering 

the handset.

“When I press

keys on the
handset, nothing
happens.”

Make sure the 

batteries 

are fitted in your handset. If the Battery

Level symbol on the display shows ‘low’, recharge the batteries.

Press and hold the 

OK 

button until the handset comes to life. The

OK 

button switches the handset on and off.

Check whether there’s a ‘

key

’ symbol on the display. If so, the

keypad is 

locked

. Turn to Section 8 to find out how to unlock it.

“When I press

keys on the
handset, digits
appear on the
display, but I
can’t make an
outside call.”

Call barring 

may have been set. See Section 7 for more

information.

Try moving the handset 

closer 

to the base unit.

Try a 

different position 

for the base unit — perhaps higher, or

further from other electrical equipment.

“The phone does

not ring”

Check that the base unit’s 

mains power 

adapter is plugged in

and power is switched on. The base unit needs mains power for
normal operation of the phone — not just for charging the
batteries.

Make sure you’re using the 

telephone line cable 

that was

supplied with your Fusion 2200/2210. Other telephone line cables 
might not work.

Check that you have not set the 

ringer volume 

to Off. See

Section 6 for more information.

Check that the 

total REN value 

of all equipment connected to

your telephone line is no more than 4. Disconnect one or more
telephones and see whether that helps.

“My call was cut

off when I went
out of range.
Now I can’t use
my handset.”

Move the handset 

closer 

to the base unit before you try again to

make a call.

“There is inter-

ference, noise or
echoing on the
line.”

Move the handset 

closer 

to the base unit, or to a different

position.

Try moving the base unit so that it’s 

not near other electrical

equipment

, such as a TV or a computer.

If you are using a 

routing box 

(

smart socket)

, try disconnecting

it then making a call. If the sound is OK without the routing box,
that’s the cause of the problem.

You’ll get the best results if you site the base unit as high as
possible. For example, in a two-storey house, the first-floor
landing is an ideal place for the base unit.

“When I press the

PHONE or
SPEAKERPHONE
button, I hear a
loud noise.”

The strange noise is caused by interference. Disconnect the mains
power lead from the back of the base unit, then wait for 30
seconds before reconnecting it.

“I hear ‘beeps’

from my handset
while I’m on a
call.”

You may be going 

out of range 

of the base unit. Move closer, or

your call may be cut off.

Check the 

Battery Level 

symbol on the display. If it shows ‘low’,

recharge the batteries.

“The volume in

the earpiece is
low.”

Make sure you’re holding the earpiece correctly over your ear.

Adjust the volume as decribed in Section 6.

“The Caller

Display feature
isn’t working.”

You need to 

subscribe 

to Caller Display from your service

provider. Contact the service provider for details of how to
subscribe.

The caller may have 

withheld 

their number by dialling 141. Or

they may be calling from a network that does not transmit the
Caller ID (for example, it may be an international call).

“When I try to

make a call, I hear
Busy tone and
the IN USE light
on the base unit
does not come
on.”

Check your handset’s display — if it says either 

not sub

 or

base . . . .

 , you need to re-register the handset.

If the display says 

search 1

 , make sure the mains power lead

is plugged into the back of the base unit, and the adapter is
plugged into the mains socket with the power switched on.

If you have more than one handset registered to your base unit,
check that another handset isn’t already in use on a call.

Intercom and transfer

“I can’t transfer a

call.”

Make sure the other handset is within range of the base unit, and
is not busy on a call.

Make sure you are keying in the correct number (to 5) for the
other handset.

Batteries

“The handset‘s

batteries are
running low
within an hour or
two.”

Before you first used the handset, you should have left it on the
base unit or charger pod for 

up to 15 hours 

to charge the

batteries fully.

You may need to 

replace the batteries

“The CHARGE

light on the base
unit does not
come on.“

Clean the battery charging contacts 

with a dry cloth.

Check the connections 

between the base unit and the mains

power socket.

“I try to recharge

the batteries, but
I still get a
warning that they
are low.”

You need to 

replace the batteries

. Please note the following

safety warnings:

 Use only 

NIMH(Nickel Metal Hyride) two  AAA rechargeable

batteries in the handset. The best way to make sure you get
the right ones is to take the old ones with you when you go to
buy new ones.

 Dispose of used batteries safely 

— never burn them, or put

them where they could get punctured.

PBX use

“Last Number

Redial and/or
memory dialling
don’t work on a
PBX.

When you first make a call, try pressing the 

CDS 

button for a

pause 

between the outside line access digit (e.g. 9) and the tele-

phone number. You should later be able to redial the number.

When storing numbers in memory, you can include the 

outside

line access digit 

(e.g. 9) with each number.

If your PBX requires you to wait for a second Dial tone before
dialling the telephone number, press the 

CDS 

button for

a pause between the access digit and the number.

“My Fusion 2200/

2210 system won’t
work properly on
a PBX.“

You may need to change the 

recall 

setting. Call the Binatone

Help Line for advice. It will help if you have your PBX
documentation to hand when you make the call.

If the fault persists …

Disconnect all other instruments 

connected to the same line as

the Fusion 2200/2210 and see whether you can make a call.

 Disconnect the base unit 

from the telephone line and plug

a different phone into the master telephone socket. Try
making a call. If this works, the line is OK.

 If the call does not work, and you are using a 

two-way

socket adapter

, remove it and plug a telephone directly into

the socket. If the call now works, the adapter may be faulty.

If you cannot make a call, the fault may be on the 

exchange line

.

Contact the service provider (the BT engineers on 151, or your
cable company).

If you still cannot identify the cause of the problem, contact the

Binatone Help Line

12 Operational notes

Electrical safety

 DON’T let the base unit get wet

. Electrical equipment can cause serious

injury if used while you are wet or standing in water.

 If the base unit ever falls into 

water, DON’T 

retrieve it until you have

unplugged  the power lead from the mains and the telephone line plug from
the  telephone socket; then pull it out by the unplugged cables.

 NEVER use your Fusion 2200/2210 outdoors during a thunderstorm 

— unplug  

the base unit from the telephone line and the mains socket when there  are
storms in your area. Damage caused by lightning is not covered  by the
guarantee.

Siting the base unit and charger pod

The base unit and charger pod should each be placed on a level surface, in a
position where:

 the mains adapter plug will reach an easily accessible 230-V 

AC 

switched

mains supply socket — 

never try to lengthen the mains power cable

 the 

telephone line cable 

will reach your telephone line socket or extension

socket (base unit only; charger pods have no connection to the telephone
line)

 it is 

not close to another telephone 

— this can cause radio interference

during calls

 it is 

not close to a sink, bath or shower

, or anywhere else where it might get

wet

 it is 

not close to other electrical equipment 

— fridges, washing machines,

microwave ovens, TVs, fluorescent lights, etc.

Radio signals between the handset and the base unit

To use your handset and base unit together, you must be able to establish a
radio link between them. Be aware that:

 Siting the base unit 

as high as possible 

will give better results — for example,

in a two-storey house, the best position may be on the first-floor landing.

 Any 

large metal object 

— like a refrigerator, a mirror or a filing cabinet —

between the handset and base unit may block the radio signal.

 Other 

solid structures

, like walls, may reduce the signal strength.

Interference

If the sound quality gets worse as you move around while on a call, this is
probably due to interference between the handset  and the base unit, perhaps
because you are too near to another phone  or other electrical equipment. 

Move

to a different position  to clear the interference

. If you do not move, your call

may be cut off.

Radio interference in the environment may occasionally cause a short break in
the link between the handset and the base unit while you  are on a call. The
handset’s display will flash briefly, while  the unit automatically changes to a
different channel to restore the link.

Keeping the batteries charged

When you don’t need to carry your handsets around (for example, at night),
leave them on the base unit or charger pod, to keep the batteries charged.

Whenever the battery charge level symbol on the display shows ‘nearly empty’,
replace the handset on the base unit or charger pod.

‘Out of range’ warning

If you hear a 

warning tone 

during a call, and/or the sound in the earpiece

becomes faint or distorted, you may be going out of range of the base unit.

Move nearer to the base unit within 20 seconds

, until the tone stops.

Otherwise, your call may be cut off.

While you are out of range and you are not on a call, the handset’s display
shows 

search

 and the ‘signal level’ symbol flashes. Before you make a call,

you must 

move closer to the base unit 

until the handset’s name and number

are displayed and the symbol stops flashing.

Cleaning and care

 Don’t clean any part of your Fusion 2200/2210 with benzene, thinner or other solvent

chemicals — this may cause permanent damage  which is not covered by the
Guarantee. When necessary, 

clean  it with a damp cloth

.

 Keep your Fusion 2200/2210 away from 

hot, humid conditions 

or 

strong sunlight

,

and don’t let it get 

wet

.

 Every effort has been made to ensure high standards of reliability for your

Fusion 2200/2210. However, if something does go wrong, please 

do not try to 

repairit yourself 

— consult your supplier or the Binatone Help Line.

Connection and conditions for use

You can connect your Fusion 2200/2210 to a direct exchange line (DEL) — a line
connected to a local exchange, with its own phone number; to an extension
socket connected to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved compatible PBX.
Do not connect the Fusion 2200/2210 as an extension to a payphone.

The 

ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) 

of all instruments (phones, fax

machines, etc.) connected to an exchange  line 

must not add up to more than

—  otherwise, one or more of them may not ring and/or answer calls correctly.

The Fusion 2200/2210 has a REN of 1 (this is not affected by having  more than one
handset), and most other telephones have a REN of 1 unless marked otherwise.
