WARNING
Do not place your BT Diverse 6210
in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
You need to place your BT Diverse 6210 base close
enough to a mains power and telephone socket so that
the cables will reach.
Handset range
The BT Diverse 6210 has a range
of 300 metres outdoors when there
is a clear line of sight between the
base and the handset. When there
is no clear line of sight between the
base and the handset, e.g. base
indoors and handset either indoors
or outdoors, the range could be
reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone
walls can severely affect the range.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference.
Your BT Diverse 6210 works by sending radio signals
between the handset and base. The strength of the
signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as
high as possible ensures the best signal.

fully charged.
The base station must be plugged
into the mains power at all times.

Check service centre number is correct including 1470P prefix.
Cannot receive text
■
■
Check service centre number is correct.
Ensure you have subscribed to a Caller Display service and that it is active. You can
check this by noting if your phone displays your caller's number when you receive an
incoming call.
Handset is registered to the SMS service and text has previously been sent and
received but you are now only receiving incoming messages.
■
■
This may be due to your handset being de-registered at the text service centre. All you
need to do is type Register and send it to 00000. You will receive a confirmation message
back. This assumes that your Caller Display service is active and working on your line.
Messages sent to 00000 are not charged for.
