Getting started

WARNING

Do not place your BT Aqua in the
bathroom or other humid areas.

Handset range

The BT Aqua has a range of 300
metres outdoors when there is a clear
line of sight between the base and
handset. Any obstruction between the
base and handset will reduce the range
significantly. With the base indoors
and handset either indoors or

s, the range will normally be

outdoor
up 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 out of
range of the base, the out-of-range
tone will sound every minute. This
tone is repeated until you move back
into range.

Which power adaptor?

The larger mains power adaptor is f
the large base unit and the smaller one
is for the charger unit.

IMPORTANT

The base station must be plugged into
the mains power at all times. Do not
connect the t
the wall socket until the handset is
fully charged. Only use the power and
telephone cables supplied with the
product.

elephone line cord into

or

Location

You need to place your BT Aqua base within 2 metres of the
mains power socket and telephone socket so that the cables
will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference. Your BT Aqua works by
sending radio signals between the handset and base. The
strength of the signal depends on where you site the base.
Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.

To wall mount your BT Aqua base, see Wall Mounting
template, page 87.

BT Aqua – Edition 3 - 24.04.07 – 8131

Getting started

Plug the large mains power cable into the socket marked
on the underside of the base and plug the other end into the
mains power wall socket and switch the power on.

Connecting the handset and charger

If you have purchased a multiple pack, this process will need
to be carried out for all handsets and chargers:

1. Plug the small mains power cable into the socket marked
on the underside of the charger.

2. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset.
Then slide the compartment cover into place.

3. Place the handset on the charger to charge for at least 24 hours.
When the handset is fully charged the icon will indicate that
it is fully charged.

4. After 24 hours, plug the telephone line cord from the large
base into the telephone wall socket.

Battery low warning

If the icon flashes in the external
display you will need to recharge the
handset before you can use it again.

During charging, the icon will scroll
in the display.

Battery performance

In ideal conditions, fully charged
batteries should give about 10 hours
talk time or 100 hour
a single char

Note that new batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.

To keep your 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.

The charge capacity of r
batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, giving the handset less
talk/standby time. Eventually they will
need to be replaced. New batteries are
available from the BT Aqua Helpline on
0870 605 8047.

After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging time is
about 6–8 hours a day
handset may become warm during
charging. This is normal.
