Safety information
General
Only use the power supply included with the product. Using an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone. The item number for the mains power supply is 872101.
If Keyguard is active, it is still possible to make emergency calls to 999 and 112.
Do not open the handset or base station. This could expose you to high voltages or other risks. Contact the Helpline for all repairs.
Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base may cause interference to hearing aids.
This product should not be used near emergency/intensive care medical equipment and should not be used by people with pacemakers.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.
Cleaning
Simply clean the handset and base station with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an antistatic wipe. Never use
household polish as this will damage the product. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.
Environmental
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
The product may heat up when the batteries are being recharged. This is normal. However, we recommend that you do not place the product on antique/veneered wood to avoid damage.
Do not stand your product on carpets or other surfaces which generate fibres, or place it in locations preventing free flow of air over it’s surfaces.
Do not submerge any part of your product in water and do not use it in damp or humid conditions, such as in bathrooms.
Do not expose your product to fire, explosive or other hazardous conditions.
There is a slight chance that your phone could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug the power and telephone line cord for the duration of the storm.
5
Setting up
Please note that your handset is already registered to the base station.
Situate your product close enough to the telephone and mains power sockets so that the cables will reach. The only way to disconnect the product from the power supply is to remove the power adaptor from the mains power socket. Therefore you must ensure you plan the location so that the mains power is easily accessed.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical products to avoid interference.
Do not situate the product in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Once connected, put the plinth back on the base to prevent it from rocking on the table.
There are two positions for the plinth when joining it to the base, both can be used for desk mounting and one for wall mounting. Position A is for desk mounting only and position B is for desk or wall mounting (see Wall mounting on page 29).
Rubber feet
Hold the black plastic square between thumb and forefinger and peel off individual feet from backing sheet as shown. These are to stop your base from moving and to protect your work surface.
Plan the location
1 Connect the power supply and
switch on
Plug the power supply cable into the socket on the underside of your base. The power cable connector and socket are coloured red.
Plug the line cord into the other socket on the underside of the base marked with a telephone symbol.
WARNING
Please take care that the power supply and telephone line cord are connected to the correct sockets as incorrect placement could damage your equipment.

Important
You must thread the power supply cable and line cord through the plinth before you connect to the power supply.

If you decide on position B, place 2 of the rubber feet on the plinth and 2 on the base.
Plug the power adaptor into the wall socket and switch on. When the power is switched on, the button on your base will light up.

WARNING
Do not connect the telephone line cord to the phone socket until your handset is fully charged. This will prevent the risk of the phone being answered before the battery is charged. Answering the phone before the battery is fully charged may prevent it from reaching its
optimum capacity.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the approved batteries. Using unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.
Fully discharging the batteries at least once a week will help them to last as long as possible. However, the charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, so reducing the talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New batteries can be obtained from any BT Shop or from the Helpline on 0845 601 2476.
When the battery has been charged for at least 16 hours the display will show the
symbol; you can then connect the telephone line cord to the base.
Battery low warning
If the handset battery symbol is empty and you hear warning beeps, you will need to recharge your handset before you can use it.
Helpline
If you are experiencing difficulty, please call the BT On-Air Helpline on 0845 601 2476.
2 Charge the handset battery
for at least 16 hours
Battery performance
Your handset is supplied with NiMH batteries. These need to be initially charged continuously for 16 hours to reach full charge.
Note that the battery charge icon does not indicate the correct level when the batteries are first installed. The batteries must first be fully charged.

4 Changing your handset fascias
There are 3 removeable handset fascias to choose from. Simply slide the fascias off and replace with another.
Plug the line cord into the telephone wall socket.
3 Connect the telephone line cord
(after charging your handset)
