•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.

4 Quick set-up guide

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.

1 Plug in

1.Plug the mains power adaptor into the base, with the cable clipped in the groove provided.

1

2.Plug the other end of the power adaptor into the wall power socket and switch on.

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.

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.

The set-up wizard will take you through the steps for setting the time and date, recording your outgoing message for the answer machine, registering for the text messaging service and adding contacts.

Select Yes by pressing the Left option button if you want to follow the set-up wizard prompt or select No by pressing the Right option button to continue to the next prompt until set up is complete.

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.

If you need some help, call us on 0800 145 6789* or go to bt.com/producthelp

6Quick set-up guide

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.

1

If you need some help, call us on 0800 145 6789* or go to bt.com/producthelp

2.Activate the batteries as explained on page 5. If you set the time and date on the first handset then it will be shared with all other handsets in your multi pack once you activate the batteries.

3.Place the handset on the charger to charge for

24 hours.

If you ever need to remove the batteries, simply slide open the battery compartment cover and ease out the batteries.
