Getting started6

WARNING

Do not place your BT Calypso 1100 in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Handset range

The handset reception range from the base is up to 300m outdoors and up to 50m indoors. Thick walls can severely affect the range.

Range indicator

The symbol on your handset display indicates when you are in range of the base. If the symbol flashes and you hear a warning beep, you are out of range and will need to move closer to the base.

IMPORTANT

Do not connect the telephone line until at least one of the handsets is fully charged.

The base must be plugged into the mains power at all times.

Which socket?

Power socket

Telephone line socket

Location

You need to place your BT Calypso 1100 within 2 metres of a mains power 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 Calypso 1100 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 can help to provide the best signal.

Setting up

1. Plug the mains power cable into the base. Then plug the power adaptor into the mains wall socket and switch the power on. The Power indicator ( ) on the base lights up.

Power adaptor cable

2. Remove the battery compartment cover and insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset. Slide the battery compartment cover back into place.

7Getting started

3. Charge the handset for at least 24 hours by placing it on the base. The red Charging indicator on the base comes on.

The screen will show the standby display and a scrolling battery icon to show that the handset is charging.

Battery low warning

When the battery charge is low the handset battery icon will be empty and flashing. Place the handset back on the base to recharge.

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give up to 10 hours talktime or 100 hours standby on a single charge. See ‘Battery performance’ on the following page.

8 Getting started

Battery performance

To keep your batteries in the best conditions, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge).

Please note however, that new NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible.

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 the BT Calypso Helpline 0870 605 8047.

Helpline

If you have any difficulties setting up your BT Calypso 1100, please call the BT Calypso Helpline on 0870 605 8047.

4. After 24 hours, plug the telephone line cord into your BT Calypso 1100 base and the other end into the wall socket.
