Download the userguide for "Beoline", on page 2 you will find a wiring diagram.

I hope you have also connected the Base to the mains? There is an indicator that shows the status of the base, what does it show?

Hi

Thanks for your speedy answer.

Yes I have connected the pstn box to mains and to the phone jack in the wall.

This is not the isdn version so the base has no indicator light - merely a button.

The manual does not have a wiring diagram - at least not the manual I have been able to find:

Problem is - the handset merely says "No signal". I have tried taking out the batteries from the handset and forced it to rescan, but to no avail.

I wish there was a way to check whether the base is actually working ...

Here is a picture of the base:

The User Guide you are looking at is for the handset, I thought of this one: http://www.bang-olufsen.de/UserFiles/File/ug/BeoLine/BeoLine_userguide_multilanguage.pdf

But the base you have is an older model. Maybe it is the same as with the ISDN version I have, After plugging the base to the mains the base is open for 5 minutes to register handsets. Try to plug the base, switch on the handset and initiate the search process as described in the manual you already have. You should then see the park number from the label of your base in the display of the handset, accept with "OK" and everything should be fine.

Good luck!

HAH! Wiring the confounded thing correctly did the trick! I had put things wrongly together, so the links to the proper manuals was a great help! Thanks and may be 2012 be a good year to you all!

Best regards
