Digital Cordless Phone with Answering Machine
Important – please read first2
• 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. The default setting is four rings. If you want to change this, please see page 47-48.

Contents for each additional handset (multipacks only)
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.

Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give up to 22 hours talk time or 240 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
2 Activate the batteries
and charge
1. Activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab away from the bottom of the handset.
Rechargeable batteries
already fitted
Remove this tab
and charge batteries
for 24 hours before use.
2. The BT logo will appear on the screen, followed by the set up wizard screen displaying Please set the time and date to start using your telephone. Don’t follow these instructions yet. Place your handset on the base to charge first.
3. Place the handset on the base and leave to charge for 24 hours.
IMPORTANT Charge the handset batteries for 24 hours or your phone might not work.
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*.
Hide
Line cord error.
Please check.
If your screen displays this message,
don’t worry. This is normal and will continue to be displayed until you connect the phone line cord in step 4.
4. After 24 hours, plug the phone line cord into the phone wall socket.
3 Follow the set up wizard
Follow the set up wizard to set the time and date, record your outgoing message for the answer machine, set up call blocking and add 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.

Quick set-up guide 7
Using your BT6600 on a broadband line?
To avoid problems with your broadband or noise on your phone line, you might need to plug it into the wall socket via a microfilter (not supplied).
If your main phone socket has a single socket, you do need to use microfilters, like this:
You’ll need a microfilter for every phone socket where you’ve got equipment plugged in – up to a maximum of four per line – including alarm sytems and digital TV boxes.
You can get BT ADSL micro filters from bt.com/shop
You don’t need to use microfilters if your main phone socket has two separate sockets, like these:
4 Set up your additional
handsets (multipacks 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.
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.
Quick set-up guide

If you ever need to remove the batteries, place your fingers in the groove at the bottom of the handset and lift the cover up to release it. Then, gently ease the batteries out.
5 Go!
Your BT6600 is now ready for you to use

Under the Call control menu are the features Do not disturb, Block Calls and Parental control. Do not disturb allows calls to be received silently with minimal notification.
Parental control allows you to control the type of outgoing calls that can be made. You can also assign VIPs in your contacts to whom outgoing calls can still be made even if Parental control is turned on and calls can be received from as normal even if Do not disturb is turned on.
