Hardly worked out as such. More trial and error really, given that I haven't the faintest idea what I'm doing.

I now have the base plugged in to the ADSL filter modem bit.  

But what about the beotalk 1200. No joy if plugged in to the phone part of the filter, ditto if it's also in the modem bit via some adapters.....

I feel I must be almost there, no.....?

Thanks

Hopefully I can now post more than a few words at a time 🙂

I searched the forum and see other people have had this problem, and that sometimes it comes down to there not being enough wires in the um, wire. And indeed I saw the LINE wire from the bt1200 only had 2 wires inside it. Ahah I thought....so I changed to another with a full compliment of wires but it makes no difference at all.

I presume I'm looking for a little telephone icon on the bt1200 display when I'm on a call, but nothing, and it doesn't answer a call.

I've tried all combinations I can think of, with the BT1200 LINE wire going through the adsl filter, bypassing it, in line with the base, split from the base with a splitter etc etc, but no, not a sausage. 

What am I doing wrong!?!? As far as I know, the bt1200 should be compatible with all bc6000 phones, and my kit dates to 2004 so it's not even that old.

Many thanks for your help!

More by luck than judgment really but I have now got everything working as it should be.

I noticed at the bottom of the box a black splitter which came with the phone, so now I have wall socket into adsl filter, into black splitter with the base in to the rj11 socket, and the bt1200 into the phone socket via an rj11 to bt converter.

Phew. 

Thanks for your help Keith, you're a star.

Glad you have sorted it Dan.
Incidentally, the Beotalk 1200 has nothing to do with the Beocom 6000s. It is a standalone item and can be used alongside a whole housefull of Kikinoko 'phones. (Or infact, a whole housefull of no 'phones!)
