STEP 3 - Connect the handset
Your phone has been supplied with a
handset and connecting cable. These
must be attached to the phone unit
before use.
Connect one end of the cable to the socket
at the base of the handset and the other
end to the socket in the left side of the
phone unit. Each connector will click into
place once inserted correctly.

STEP 4 - Attach the aerial
Align the supplied aerial with the circular
connector on the far left of the rear panel.
Attach the aerial by twisting the connector
collar clockwise until it is finger-tight: do not
overtighten.
In use, the aerial should always be vertical.
The supplied aerial has a hinge so that you
can position it correctly.
STEP 5 - Connect the power adapter
Connect the lead from the supplied power adapter
to the socket on the far right of the rear panel.
Plug the power adapter main body into a nearby
mains outlet.
STEP 6 - Switch on the phone
On the rear panel, press and hold the red button
until the display responds, then release it. To
switch the phone off, press and hold the red
button until the display goes blank. Make sure the
battery is fully charged before using the phone for
any length of time without mains power.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The phone is not working The phone is not working The phone is not working The phone is not working
If your phone appears to be not working (the display is blank) or it will not auto-dial
the programmed number on pick-up, follow these steps to check your set-up:
1 Check that the transit switch is unlocked - see page 1, Step 1.
2 If the phone is not connected to a mains power outlet, the internal battery may
be discharged. Use the power adapter to recharge the battery - recharging takes
about two hours to complete.
3 If the phone is connected to a mains power outlet, check that the display is
active. If not, use the red power switch at the rear of the phone to switch it on. If
the display still does not appear, you should contact Burnside (details on the
back page of this guide).
4 If the phone will not auto-dial correctly, check the AUTO configuration - refer to
page 4, Step 1.
5 If calls still cannot be made, check that your SIM card has call credit available.

The standby status display shows you the strength of the wireless signal being
received by the phone, and this can be used as a rough indicator - the more bars the
better. However, the phone has a more precise way of helping you find a location
where the best wireless network signal can be received.
From a mobile phone, send the command
1234STAT0 to the phone. After a few
seconds, you will receive a reply message, which contains the phone's status
information. The Signal
Signal Signal Signal status shows the current signal strength expressed in
logarithmic form (dBm). Lower values are better, and ideally this number should be
between -70dBm and -90dBm. Try moving the phone and aerial position to achieve
the lowest dBm level.
If you continue to have difficulty receiving a reliable wireless signal, you might need
to use an alternative aerial. Visit www.burnsidetelecom.com

of specialised aerials to suit more demanding locations.
