and is easy to do. Just follow the simple
instructions on the next few pages.
Need help?
If you have any problems setting up or using your
BT Calypso, contact the Helpline on 0870 605 8047.
Alternatively, you may find the answer in ‘Help’ at the
back of this guide.
Hearing aid?
Please note that the BT Calypso works by sending radio
signals between the base and handset. These signals may
interfere with some hearing aids, causing a humming noise.

Getting started
7
Location
You need to place your BT Calypso 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 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 ensure 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
WARNING
Do not place your BT Calypso in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Calypso 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 outdoors, the
range will normally be up to 50
metres. Thick stone walls severely
affect the range.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset
screen indicates when you are in
range. 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?

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047
8Getting started
Replacing batteries
Use only rechargeable 750mAh or
higher AAA NiMH batteries.
When charging, the battery level
bars are animated.
When batteries are fully charged
the display shows 3 green bars.
The red Charging light stays on
while the handset is on the base,
even when the batteries are fully
charged.
Battery low warning
When the battery charge is low the
handset battery icon will be empty.
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 88 hours
standby on a single charge.
See ‘Battery performance’ on the
following page.
2. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the
handset. Slide the battery compartment cover into place.
Only replace with
rechargeable NiMH
batteries.
3. Charge the handset for at least 24 hours by placing it on
the base. The red
Charging light comes on.
The handset is pre-registered to the base as Calypso 1.
The screen shows the standby display. Peel off the
screen label.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047
9Getting started
4. After 24 hours, plug the telephone line cord into the wall
socket and your BT Calypso base.
Telephone line cord
Your BT Calypso is now ready for use.
Additionally, if you have purchased a BT Calypso
multiple pack
1. On each charger, connect the mains power adaptor to
the charger and switch on.
Power adaptor cable
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 24 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
0870 605 8047.
Helpline
Ensure the charger is connected to
the mains at all times.
Do not mix up the power adaptors
between the base and additional
handset charger.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047
