Elements – New Style – Edition 4 – 31.08.06 – 7644

Getting started

Location

Your BT Elements phone comes with a base which you will need to place within 2 metres of a mains power socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.

The charger can then be located wherever you want in your house, provided it is within reach of a mains power socket. The handset can be charged using the charger.

Make sure the base is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference.

Your BT Elements phone 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.

Setting up

1. At the handset: inside the battery compartment and insert the 2 x AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries supplied observing the polarity markings (+ and -).

Make sure the battery ribbon is laying flat

Handset range

The BT Elements phone has a range of up to 1000 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and the handset. When there is no clear line of sight between the base and the handset, e.g. the base is indoors and the handset either indoors or outdoors, the range could be reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.

Signal strength

The icon on your handset indicat when you are in range. When you move out of range of the base, the out of range tone will sound every minute and the icon will flash on the handset display. This is repeated until you move back into range.

Talk/Standby time

In ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give about 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby time on a single charge. The base must remain plugged in to the mains and switched on at all times. Please note that if you are using the torch feature, the talk/standby times

educed.

will be r

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

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com

WARNING

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

Battery low warning

If the symbol flashes in the display and you hear a warning beep every minute, you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again.

During charging, the symbol will scroll in the display.

y performance

Batter

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. From a rundown state the handset may take a minute or so to power up the display.

The charge capacity of rechargeable

eries will reduce with time as they

batt wear out, giving the handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New

eries are available fr

After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent char is about 6–8 hour on usage. Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.

3. At the charger: Plug the charger power cord into the charger and the mains power wall socket. Place the handset on the base to charge for at least 24 hours. The red Charging light comes on. While the handset is charging, the symbol scrolls in the display, when the handset is fully charged the display shows the symbol.

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

• you are not drilling into any hidden wiring or plumbing

• the mains power adaptor will reach the plug socket

BT are not responsible for any damage / injury caused while attempting to wall mount your phone.

3. Thread the power cable from the charger through the hole in the bracket and thread the cable into the cable groove on the underside. Secure the charger onto the bracket by screwing the 3 screws supplied into the underside of the bracket.

4. Fix the bracket (now with charger attached to it) onto the screws protruding from the wall, by placing it over the screw heads then pull it down gently and it should drop down and secure into place.

2. Remove the old batteries.

3. Make sure the battery ribbon is laying flat inside the battery compartment and insert 2 x AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries observing the polarity markings (+ and -).

4. Replace the battery cover: hook the two plastic clips into place first, then lower and screw the cover into place.

5. Finally, screw back the belt clip.

Note

Spare rechargeable batteries are available from the BT Elements Helpline 0870 605 8047.
