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 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 Symphony 2200 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 Symphony2200 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
do not try to repair
it yourself — consult your supplier or the Binatone Help Line.

!
The Symphony2200 must be serviced by trained engineers. NEVER attempt
any repairs or adjustments yourself you could make the problem
worse and invalidate the Guarantee.
If you have problems using your Symphony2200 cordless phone,
refer to the separate user guide.
ALWAYS check
first that:
■
you have followed all the steps listed in section 2
to install and set up your Symphony2200
■
all connectors are firmly inserted in their sockets
■
mains power to the base unit telephone is switched
on at the socket
“I can’t make or
answer calls.”
If you don’t hear Dial tone when you press the
handset’s PHONE button, check whether the base unit
or another handset is already using the line.
If you’re using a cordless handset, make sure it’s within
range of the base unit. Move closer to the base unit
and see if that helps.
Make sure you’re using the telephone line cable that
was supplied with your Symphony2200. Other telephone
line cables might not work.
If the handset’s display is blank, press the HANG UP/C
button to switch it on.
Call barring may be set (see section 7) for your handset.
Check with any other user who may have set it.
Switch off power at the mains socket, wait for a few
seconds and then switch back on. This may solve the
problem.
“The phone is
not ringing.”
The ringer melody may be set to OFF. Change it as
described in section 6.
Check that the total REN value of all instruments con-
nected to the line is no more than 4 . Disconnect
one or more instruments and see if that helps.
“Caller Display
isn’t working.”
You need to subscribe to the Caller Display feature
from your network service provider. You should find
contact details on your phone bill.
The caller may have withheld their number by dialling
141. Or they may be calling from a network that does
not transmit the caller’s number (for example, it may be
an international call).
When you store local numbers in the Phone Book,
include the full dialling code (you’ll still be charged
local rate for making calls). Then the name will be
shown as part of the Caller Display record. Alternatively,
you can set the national dialling code for your area as a
local code.
“The phone is
dialling very
slowly”
The dial mode may have been accidentally changed
to
. Change the setting to —
you should hear ‘beep’ tones as you dial.
“I can’t make
intercom calls.”
Make sure you’re using the correct handset number
Make sure the handset you’re trying to call is switched
on and within range.
“Baby Call isn’t
working.”
When you turn Baby Call on, you also need to set the
number to be dialled.
PBX use
“Last Number
Redial and/or
memory dialling
don’t work on
a PBX.”
When you first make a call, press the REDIAL/CDS/P
button for a pause between the outside line access
code (for example, 9) and the telephone number. You
should later be able to redial the number.
When storing numbers in memory, you can include the
outside line access code (e.g. 9) with each number.
If your PBX requires you to wait for a second Dial tone
before dialling the telephone number, press P for a
pause between the access code and the number.
If the fault persists …
Disconnect all other instruments connected to the
same line as the Symphony2200 and see whether you
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 on 0845 345 9677.

13 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 Symphony2200 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.
