WARNING
Do not place your BT Graphite 2100
in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
Location
You need to place your BT Graphite 2100 base within 3 metres of
a mains power socket and 2 metres of the telephone wall 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 Graphite 2100 works by sending radio signals between
the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on
where you position the base. Putting it as high as possible can
help to provide the best signal.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power adaptor (item code 052299) into the
power socket marked
the cable behind the retaining clip. Plug the other end into the
mains power wall socket and switch on. The base will come on
and beep.
Telephone line cord
(pre-installed).
on the back of the base and secure
Mains power adaptor.
Handset range
The BT Graphite 2100 has a range of
300 metres outdoors when there is a
clear line of sight between the base
and the handset. Any obstruction
between the base and handset will
reduce the range signicantly.
With the base indoors and handset
either indoors or outdoors, the range
will normally be up to 50 metres.
Thick stone walls can severely affect
the range.
Signal strength
The
icon on your handset display
indicates when you are in range of
the base. When it ashes 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 to
the telephone line wall socket until
the handset is fully charged.
The base station should be
plugged into the mains power
socket at all times.

and charge batteries
for 24 hours before use.
2. Remove the protective lm from the handset screen and
activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab away from the
back of the handset.
3. Place the handset on the base to charge. It will beep when
placed in and the battery icon on the handset will ash
to indicate charging. You should let the batteries charge
continuously for at least 24 hours. The batteries and case may
become warm during charging, this is normal.
The main handset is pre-registered to the base as Handset 1.
This is shown on the display. When the handset is fully charged
the display will show
.
WARNING
Never use non-rechargeable
batteries. Only use the approved
batteries. Using unapproved batteries
will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give up to 10 hours
talk time or 100 hours standby on a
single charge. (This does not mean
you can unplug the base or leave
the handset for this length of time
without charge).
Please note that new NiMH
rechargeable batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
Battery low warning
If the

wall socket.
Note: If you ever need to remove the batteries, simply slide open
the battery compartment cover and using the nger holes grip
the batteries and pull them out.
BT Graphite 2100 multipack users only:
If you have purchased a BT Graphite 2100 multiple pack, you will
need to prepare any additional handsets and chargers for use.
Place each BT Graphite 2100 charger within reach of a mains
power wall socket.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0808 100 6556* or visit www.bt.com/producthelp
Running the batteries right down at
least once a week will help them last
as long as possible.
After charging your handset for the
rst time, subsequent charging time
for the batteries is approximately
6–8 hours.
The charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, thus reducing the talk/
standby time. Eventually they will
need replacing. For details on how to
obtain spare batteries, call the
BT Graphite 2100 Helpline on
0808 100 6556*.
