Caller Display and the calls list

You must subscribe to a Caller Display service for this feature to work. Your network provider may charge you for this service.

Troubleshooting

Most problems are caused by something very simple and can be ﬁxed with a few simple checks:

Caller Display lets you see the number of the person calling you before you answer the phone. The calls list holds details of your last 40 callers, including the phone number, date and time of the call. If a number matches a stored directory entry, the caller’s name is displayed instead. When you have new missed calls the

icon will be displayed on the handset.

View and dial from the calls list

1. From standby, press

to open the calls list. Press or to scroll through the entries.

From within the calls list:

Press

repeatedly to view details of the call: caller’s number, time and date.

Press to dial the entry displayed.

Press to access further options such as delete numbers from the list or copy

numbers to the phonebook.

Call Waiting

You must subscribe to a Call Waiting service for this feature to work. Your network provider may charge you for this service.

With Call Waiting, during a call, if another caller is trying to reach you, you will hear a soft beep every 5 seconds. Instead of the engaged tone, the second caller will hear an announcement to hold as you are aware that they are waiting.

If you have also subscribed to a Caller Display service, the caller’s number (or name if stored in the phonebook) will be shown on the display for 20 seconds, after this time the display will return to your ﬁrst caller’s details.

To speak to the second caller

1. Press

to answer the second call and put your current caller on hold. Press to

switch between both callers.

Or, press

to end the current call. The handset will then ring. Press to connect to

the waiting caller.

Other functions

Your BT Graphite 1100 has a number of other features, including: switching your handset on and off, switching the keypad lock on and off and paging the handset so you can locate it or alert a handset user that they are wanted.

If you have bought a multiple pack and therefore have more than one handset registered to your base, you can: make internal calls, transfer an external call from one handset to another, hold a conference call and make an internal call between two handsets while a third is on an external call.

For a full explanation of features and instructions, please see the main user guide online at www.bt.com/help/userguides

• Make sure both the mains power adaptor cable and telephone line cord are plugged into the correct sockets and plugged in at the wall.

• Make sure you use all the cables and batteries that came in the box, not those from a previous product.

• If you experience poor speech quality or interference, make sure the product is not located too close to other electrical appliances. This can also help improve the handset range from the base.

• Make sure you charge the batteries for at least 24 hours before ﬁrst use to ensure maximum battery performance. The charge capacity of the batteries will decrease over time.
