WARNING
Do not place your BT Diverse 6150 base in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Diverse 6150 has a range of 300 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. base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range could be reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset screen indicates when you are in range. When you are out of range, it flashes and the screen displays OUT OF RANGE and there is a beep.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line until at least one of the handsets is fully charged.
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times.
Which socket?
Power socket
Telephone line socket
Getting started
Location
You need to place your BT Diverse 6150 base station close enough to 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 Diverse 6150 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. Plug the mains power adaptor into the power socket on the underside of the base. Plug the other end into the mains socket. The Power/In Use and message indicator lights up.

2. Batteries will come inserted in the battery compartment. Pull the plastic tag as instructed to activate the batteries.
3. Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 hours by placing the handset on the base. The screen shows the battery icon filling up.
4. Connect the telephone line cord to the base and plug the other end into the wall socket.
Your BT Diverse 6150 is ready for use.

Battery low warning

Battery level
The battery symbol shows the current level
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge).
Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible.
On a full charge, your BT Diverse 6150 handset gives up to 12 hours talk time or up to 120 hours standby.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, giving the handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
Providing you have subscribed to your network’s Caller Display service, the day and time is automatically set when you receive your first incoming call.
However, you can also set the day and time manually, see page 61.

Technical information
How many telephones can you have?
All items of telephone equipment have a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to calculate the number of items which may be connected to any other telephone line. Your BT Diverse 6150 has a REN of 1. A total REN of 4 is allowed. If the total REN of 4 is exceeded, the telephone may not ring.
With different telephone types there is no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is less than 4.
