• Only use the line cord, power supply and rechargeable batteries supplied with
your phone.
• Make sure that the power supply is connected to a known working socket.
• Connect your phone to the power supply and allow the batteries to charge for 24
hours before connecting the line cord to your telephone socket.
• To make sure you get the best range and reception from your handset, avoid
interference by placing the base unit away from large metal objects such as
fridge freezers and microwave ovens or electronic products such as computers
and TVs.
Answer machine – handy hint
Make sure the telephone is set to Answer and record and that the Ring delay
is set to answer before any voicemail service i.e. BT Answer 1571, or similar.

Where to put your phone
• Place the base within
3 metres of a mains power
socket and 3 metres of a
phone socket so the cables
will reach.
• Make sure it’s at least a
metre away from other
electrical appliances to avoid
interference.
• Don’t place the phone or
base in a bathroom or other
humid area.
• The product works by
sending radio signals
between the handset and
base. The strength of the
signal depends on where you
position the base. Putting it
as high as possible can help
give you the best signal.
IMPORTANT
• Don’t connect the phone line
to a phone socket until the
handset is fully charged.
• The base station should
be plugged into the mains
power socket all the time.
1. Plug the mains power
adaptor into the
base, with the cable
clipped in the
groove provided.
2. Plug the other end
of the power adaptor
into the wall power
socket and switch on.
Quick set-up guide4

1 Plug in
The phone line cord is pre-installed but don’t
plug the other end into the wall socket yet.
Turn the cable when clipping into the groove so
that the narrow part fits between the clips before
turning cable back to secure.

If you need some help, call us on 0800 145 6789* or go to bt.com/producthelp
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the
handset batteries should give
up to 12 hours talk time or
120 hours standby on a single
charge. (This doesn’t mean you
can unplug the base or leave
the handset for this length of
time without charge).
Please note that new Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries don’t reach
full capacity until they’ve been in
normal use for several days.
Battery low warning
The
icon will flash, you’ll
see the message Battery low in
the display and hear a warning
beep every minute, to indicate
that you need to recharge your
handset. You can remove the
display message by selecting
Hide. If the battery charge
completely runs out, the display
will show Batteries flat. Please
charge. You must recharge
the handset batteries before
you can use the handset. If the
charge completely runs out the
handset will switch off. Place
the handset on the base or
charger to charge.
Quick set-up guide 5

follow the Set-up wizard
1. Activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab
away from the back of the handset.

Quick set-up guide6
Battery performance
• To keep the batteries in the
best condition, leave the
handset off the base for a
few hours at a time.
• Running the batteries right
down at least once a week
will help them last as long as
possible.
• After charging your handset
for the first time, subsequent
charging time for the
batteries is approximately
8 hours.
• The charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will
go down over time, which
will reduce the talk and
standby time. Eventually
they’ll need replacing.
For details on how to get
replacement batteries, call
the helpline on 0800 145
6789*.
3. Once set-up is complete your handset will display
Line cord error. Please check, place the handset on
the base to charge until step 4.
4. After 24 hours, plug the phone line cord into the
phone wall socket.
IMPORTANT
Charge the handset batteries for 24 hours or your
phone might not work.
Set up your additional handsets (multi packs only)
1. For additional handsets and chargers: plug the
mains power adaptor into the back of the charger
and plug the other end into the mains wall socket
and switch on the power.

will be shared with all other handsets in your multi
pack once you activate the batteries.

24 hours.
If you ever need to remove the batteries, simply

Using your BT6500
on a broadband line?
If so, you need to fit an
ADSL microfilter between
the phone line cord and the
phone socket. You can get
BT ADSL microfilters from
bt.com/shop
If you use BT Infinity you
will not need to use an ADSL
microfilter. For other types of
broadband, please check with
your provider if a microfilter
is required.
Quick set-up guide
Please note, other products
connected to the line are not
compatible with this feature
and will still ring.
You must subscribe to a Caller
Display service from your
network provider for the block
nuisance calls feature to work.
Charges may apply.
Blocked will be displayed with
no backlight on the handset
when a blocked call is received.
The handset or base will
not ring.
