Hub Phone 1010 – Edition 2– Issue 5 – 19.12.06 – 7916
Getting started
Location
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.

IMPORTANT
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.

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 hours on first charge before using the phone.

Making calls with BT Broadband Talk
Hub Phone 1010 – Edition 2– Issue 5 – 19.12.06 – 7916
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.
For more detail, charges and terms and conditions please go
www.bt.com/broadbandtalk
to
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.

Hub Phone 1010 – Edition 2– Issue 5 – 19.12.06 – 7916
Making calls with BT Broadband Talk 15
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!
7916 Hub Phone 1010 [6] 19/12/06 16:18 Page 16
Hub Phone 1010 – Edition 2– Issue 5 – 19.12.06 – 7916
Making calls with BT Broadband Talk16
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.

Hub Phone 1010 – Edition 2– Issue 5 – 19.12.06 – 7916
Hi Def calls
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.

Making calls with BT Broadband Talk18
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.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CALLS

Hub Phone 1010 – Edition 2– Issue 5 – 19.12.06 – 7916
Call quality
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).

Frequently asked questions:
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.

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.
