You need to place your BT Hub Phone in the charger cradle
and then place both handset and charger cradle in the BT
Home Hub to set it up. When you are doing this you don't
need to use the power supply provided as the handset and
charger cradle take their power from the hub. After this you
can place the handset and charger cradle anywhere in the
house where there is mains power and you can then use the
power supply provided.
You will need to place your handset and charger into the hub
from time to time to receive updates and new services to your
phone as your BT Hub Phone 1010 is fully upgradeable.
Setting up the handset
1. Remove the grey cover from
the front of the BT Hub.
If it does not come off easily,
carefully apply a little
more force.
WARNING
Do not place your BT Hub Phone 1010
in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Hub Phone 1010 has a range
of 300 metres when there is a clear
line of sight between the hub and the
handset. When there is no clear line of
sight between the hub and the
handset, the range could be reduced
to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can
severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The icon on your handset indicates
when you are in range.
When it flashes, you are out of range.
When you move out of range of the
base, you will hear the out of range
tone. This tone is repeated until you
move back into range.
The hub must be plugged into the
mains power socket at all times.
Talk/Standby time
In ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 7 hours
talk time or 100 hours standby.
Note that new batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
Battery symbols
Battery charged
Battery half charged
Battery low
Battery empty (icon will be red)
Important
You can leave your handset in the
charging cradle attached to the BT
Home Hub if you wish or you can locate
your handset anywhere in your home,
using the mains power adapter and
charging cradle to keep the handset
charged. Occasionally you will need to
connect the handset to the charger
connected to the BT Home Hub to
receive new upgrades. You will be asked
to do this when there is new software.
2. Attach the cradle to the BT
Home Hub.
3. Slide open the battery
compartment on the back
of your BT Hub Phone
handset. Insert the 2 x AAA
rechargeable batteries
supplied. Slide back the
cover to close.
4. Place the BT Hub Phone 1010
into the cradle on the BT
Home Hub. You should hear a
beep when the handset has
been placed correctly. Charge
your handset for at least 24

Battery performance
The charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as they

Eventually they will need to be
replaced. Please ensure you use the
same mAh rating for battery
replacement to the batteries that
were provided when you received the
handset.

As part of your BT Total Broadband subscription, you get access to
BT Broadband Talk which gives you free UK evening and weekend
calls (up to one hour) over your broadband connection.
BT Broadband Talk is a simple and convenient way to make
calls over the internet. The only difference is that calls go
through your broadband connection rather than your normal
phone line.
With BT Broadband Talk, you get a separate number, most of
the benefits of an extra line, incredibly cheap international call
rates and free calling features including 1471 and BT Answer.

Making and receiving calls
Once you’ve got BT Broadband Talk set up, all calls made with
your BT Hub Phone will use BT Broadband Talk. You can also
have a phone plugged into the back of the hub which will
also use BT Broadband Talk.
You don't need to use an additional
phone line and wall socket with the BT
hub phones, this is because the hub
phone works with the hub and the hub
is connected to the telephone line.
You can still use your normal phone
going calls by pressing 5
line for out
first before the number you want to
call. This will work for all Hub phones
and a phone plugged in the back of
the Hub.
Remember - if you do this you won’t
take advantage of the great BT
Broadband Talk call rates!
To see BT Broadband Talk call charges: visit
www.bt.com/broadbandtalk and go to the
‘what it costs’ section.
You can make outgoing calls using your standard phone line
number by dialling 5 and then the number you want to call.
After dialling 5 you must wait for a different dial tone to the
one you normally use with BT Broadband Talk before dialling
a number. Remember if you do this you won’t be taking
advantage of BT Broadband Talk rate.
How do I know BT Broadband Talk is set up on my Hub?
The ‘Phone’ icon on the front of your hub will be lit up, a solid
green colour and you will hear a higher pitched dial tone than
normal dial tone. If the service is down or not activated (there
will be no green icon on the hub), all calls will be made using
your landline number. You will not be able to receive calls to
your BT Broadband Talk number on the hub handset until BT
Broadband Talk is active on the hub. Go to
and follow the on screen instructions. You will need your BT
Broadband Talk number and password handy.
Your BT Hub phone is designed with High Definition Sound
(Hi-dS ™) capability.
If somebody using a BT Hub Phone (or other Hi-dS ™ capable
device) calls someone else using a Hi-dS ™ capable device,
then the call will automatically set itself to the best call
quality using the Hi-dS ™ call quality feature. Hi-dS ™ works
automatically, so you don’t need to do anything to enjoy
high-quality sound.
You won’t get Hi Def sound from the phone plugged into the
back of the hub though as this is only available on devices
which carry the Hi-Def ™ logo.
Multiple calls
No more hogging the phone….with BT Broadband Talk you
can make more than one phone call at the same time.
You can have 2 calls going on at the same time via the BT Hub
phone handsets and a third call using a phone plugged into
the socket in the back of the hub.
If you also have a videophone or BT Soft Phone associated
with your BT Broadband Talk number you can also use them to
make simultaneous calls up to a total of 4 calls across all your
BT Broadband Talk phones.
In situations where there are already 2 calls in progress on BT
Hub phone handsets, a warning:
ALREADY IN PROGRESS
BT Hub phone handsets you may have around the house
informing you that you cannot make any more calls. There is
also a special busy tone presented if you press the
button to make a call when it is not possible.
When using multiple handsets you can make internal calls
between handsets or transfer a call between handsets. You
can only use this functionality if there isn't call in progress on
another handset.
Usual call quality using BT Broadband Talk should be better than
on a mobile phone, but it can be affected by general congestion
on the internet, or by heavy traffic on the broadband link into
your home (e.g. if someone in your home is playing games
online). We cannot, therefore, guarantee call quality.
Call transfers
If there is only a single call in progress on one Hub Phone that
call can be transferred to another Hub Phone.
It is not possible to transfer calls between Hub Phones and
the phone plugged into the back of the hub.
Your BT Broadband Talk bill
Broadband Talk can be added onto to your existing phone bill.
If you have your calls itemised any calls you make using BT
Broadband Talk will be listed in a separate section on your bill.
However, you won’t see any charges if you have the free
Evening and Weekend package and only made Broadband
Talk calls to UK landlines between 6.00pm and 6.00am or at
weekends. Please note that you’ll be charged for calls to
excluded numbers (mobile,premium rate or international).
What happens to service in the event of power or
network failure?
The BT Broadband Talk service will fail in the event of
power or network failure. In a network failure, however you
will not lose service as your Broadband Talk phone will
automatically revert back to your landline. You will know this
because the dial tone will be the normal dial tone instead of
the high pitch Broadband Talk tone, and the phone icon light
will not work. If there is no power to the Hub you won’t be
able to make any calls.
What happens when I make emergency calls?
If you make an emergency call to 999 or 112 from your BT
Broadband Talk line, the Hub will automatically use your
standard telephone line.
This is a safety measure to ensure the emergency services can
identify your location, if necessary.
Emergency Location Information is captured and passed to
the Emergency Services for use in the case of an emergency
call being made via the service. The location information
captured is limited to the address of the BT telephone line.
Important: if there’s a power failure, your BT Hub Phone
and/or DECT cordless phone will not work. Alternative
arrangements should be made for access to emergency
services. We recommend your primary telephone line is
maintained for contacting emergency services.
Can I take my BT Broadband Talk number with me to
another provider?
It is not currently possible to transfer your Broadband Talk
056 number to another provider.
You Hub and Hub phone cannot be used with another
provider.
