Important – please read ﬁrst

• Only use the line cord, power supplies

and battery supplied with your BT Home SmartPhone.

• Make sure the power supply is connected to

a socket that you know is working.

• Connect your phone to the power supply

and allow the batteries to charge for 16 hours before you connect the line cord to your telephone socket.

Where to put your phone

• Place the base close to a mains power socket

and a phone socket so the cables will reach.

• Don’t place the phone or base in a bathroom

or other humid area.

• To make sure you get the best range

and reception from your handset, avoid interference by placing the base unit away from large metal objects (such as fridge freezers and microwave ovens) and electrical appliances (such as computers and TVs).

• Your phone 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 give you the best signal.

IMPORTANT

• Don’t connect the phone line to a phone

socket until the handset is fully charged.

• You should keep the base station plugged

into the mains power socket all the time.

Answer phone – handy hint

Make sure you set the telephone to Answer & Record, and the Ring delay to answer before any voicemail service (BT Answer 1571 or similar). The default setting is ﬁve rings. If you want to change this, please see page 25.

Batteries

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give up to 8 hours of talk time or 80 hours on standby on a single charge. (This doesn’t mean you can unplug the base or leave the handset without charging it for this long).

Please note that new Li-on rechargeable batteries don’t reach full capacity until they’ve been in normal use for several days.

Battery performance

• To keep the 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.

• After charging your handset for the ﬁrst

time, subsequent charging time for the batteries is about six hours.

• The charge capacity of the rechargeable

battery will go down over time, which will reduce your phone’s talk and standby time. Eventually it will need replacing. For details on how to get a replacement battery, call the helpline on 0808 100 9889*.

Battery low warning

When the handset needs recharging, the icon will ﬂash, you’ll see the message Battery low in the display and you’ll hear a warning beep every minute. You can remove the display message by selecting Hide. If the battery charge completely runs out, the display will show Batteries ﬂat. Please charge. and the handset will switch off. You’ll need to recharge the handset batteries before you can use the handset. Place it back on the charger or connect the usb cable.

If you ever need to remove the battery, carefully remove the rear case by using the slot at the bottom of the handset and then gently working the cover off around the edges.

Using your BT Home SmartPhone on a broadband line?

If so, you need to ﬁt an ADSL microﬁlter between the phone line cord and the phone socket. You can get BT ADSL microﬁlters from bt.com/shop. If you use BT Inﬁnity, you won’t need to use an ADSL microﬁlter. For other types of broadband, please check with your provider if you need to ﬁt a microﬁlter.

Help

Most problems can be ﬁxed with a few simple checks, or you might ﬁnd the answer in the Help section on page 54 of this guide or our online frequently asked questions at bt.com/ producthelp. Or call the Helpline on 0808 100 9889*. If you want to replace the battery please replace it with similar type, they are available from Helpline.

* Calls made from within the UK mainland network are free. Mobile and international call costs may vary. Our dedicated advisors are more likely to be able to help you than the retailer where you bought your phone.

Your BT Home SmartPhone can digitally record up to 24 minutes of messages. You can operate your Answer phone from the handset or remotely from any other Touchtone™ telephone. Before you use your Answer phone, you need to set the date and time so message times will be correct.

When you get a new Answer phone message, the Answer phone

appears in the Status bar.

Listening to your Answer phone messages

Open the Notiﬁcations panel and touch Answer phone message. The Notiﬁcations panel will show new messages and will change when:

• you get a new message

• you delete a message

• you read a message

You can also access the Answer phone by touching the icon on the Home screen.

Switching the Answer phone on or off and setting the answer mode

The Answer phone has three main settings: Answer & Record, Answer Only and Off. Your BT Home SmartPhone comes set up with Answer & Record mode as the default.

To change between these settings:

• touch the Answer phone

on the

Home screen

• press Menu

• touch Settings

• select Answer mode

Outgoing messages

The outgoing message is the message a caller ﬁrst hears when your Answer phone picks up their call. You can choose from two recorded messages: one lets your callers leave a message (Answer & Record) and one just answers the call (Answer Only). Or you can record your own. The pre-recorded messages are:

• Answer & Record: callers are asked to leave

a message.

- Your caller will hear ‘Hello, your call

cannot be taken at the moment, so please leave your message after the tone’.

• Answer Only: callers are asked to call again

and aren’t invited to leave a message.

- Your caller will hear ‘Hello, your call

cannot be taken at the moment and you cannot leave a message, so please call later’.

You can:

• listen to an outgoing message on

your handset

• change it

• delete your own recorded outgoing message

and go back to the default message.

Recording your own outgoing message

You can record you own outgoing message for both Answer & Record and Answer Only. They can be up to 120 seconds long. Once you’ve recorded them, you can listen to and change them if you want, before saving them.

To record your own outgoing message:

• touch the Answer phone icon on the

Home screen

• press Menu

• touch Outgoing message

Answer phone

Page 25

If you need some help, call us on 0808 100 9889* or go to bt.com/producthelp

All your messages share your Answer phone’s memory – outgoing messages (the default and your own) as well as incoming messages. The maximum length of incoming messages that can be stored is:

• 12 minutes for high-quality recording

• 24 minutes for standard-quality recording

Managing your messages

Touch the Answer phone icon on the Home screen. The display will show details of the time and date of your ﬁrst message. If you have Caller Display, it also shows your caller’s number and name if you’ve saved their details.

You can use the icons on screen:

•

= next, plays the next message

•

= previous, plays the previous message

•

= pause, pauses playing messages

•

= play, plays the current message

• Restart, plays the current messages again

• Resume, resumes playing the

paused messages

• Delete, deletes the current message

Playing back messages using your handset

When you get a new message, the screen will show:

• your caller’s number – if you’ve got

Caller Display

• your caller’s name – if you’ve got Caller

Display and you’ve stored a name for this number

• the month, day and time your caller left

their message

New (unplayed) messages are played ﬁrst (oldest to most recent) and then old (played) messages (oldest to most recent). You need to listen to new messages before you can play old messages.

Message playback stops if you get an incoming call.

You can’t delete messages that you haven’t played back.

Messages are saved automatically if you don’t delete them.

• select Change

• record your message

- If you want to record your own Answer

Only message, remember to tell your callers they won’t be able to leave a message.

Answer delay

With answer delay, you can set how many times the phone rings before the Answer phone cuts in and takes the call. You can choose from two to ten rings.

The default answer delay is set as ﬁve rings. To change this:

• touch the Answer phone icon on the

Home screen

• touch Settings

• select Answer Delay

• touch the number of rings you want

To work with BT 1571 (or another networkbased voicemail service)

To make sure your Answer phone cuts in before your voicemail, set the answer delay to fewer rings than your voicemail service. For BT 1571, set the answer delay to no more than ﬁve rings.

• touch Remote access to switch it or off

Once you’ve set up remote access, you can control your Answer phone remotely by calling your phone from an outside line and entering the four-digit PIN once you hear your outgoing message.

To activate remote access:

• use your phone’s keypad to enter

• enter your remote PIN

• you’ll hear a beep letting you know you’ve

got access to the Answer phone

• if there are any new messages, listen to

these ﬁrst

• at the end of playback, another beep lets

you know the Answer phone is ready for you to use remotely

Here’s a list of what you can do remotely:

• listen to messages

• switch the Answer phone on or off

• go to the next message

• go back to the beginning of the message

• go to the previous message

• delete the current message

Remote access

With remote access, you can control your Answer phone from any Touchtone™ phone, even if your Answer phone was turned off when you left.

Before you can use remote access, you’ll need to set up a remote access PIN, then turn on remote access.

To set up or change the remote access PIN for the ﬁrst time:

on the

Home screen

• touch Settings

• select Remote access

• touch Remote access PIN and enter a

new PIN

If the memory becomes full while a message is being played or recorded, the recording will stop and the already recorded message will be saved. If an incoming message is being recorded, the base will hang up.

When the memory’s full, you can’t change the outgoing message until you’ve deleted some old messages.

If you’ve set your Answer phone to Answer & Record, it’ll automatically switch to Answer Only mode when the memory’s full. Before your Answer phone can record new messages, you need to delete the old (played) ones.

To delete messages, see page 24. Once you’ve done this, your machine will go back to Answer & Record mode (unless you’ve used the handset menu to change the setting manually).

If you forget to switch on your Answer phone

If you’ve switched on remote access, you can still turn on your Answer phone remotely. Here’s what to do:

• call your number from another phone and

let it ring; after 20 rings, the machine will switch on and answer your call

• press

and enter your four-digit remote

access PIN when asked

• play back your messages (see ‘Using your

Answer phone remotely’ on page 26)

Note: if you haven’t switched your Answer phone to On, it will switch off when the call ends.

If the memory’s full

The memory’s full when there’s no more space for recording or you’ve had 59 messages. On the Home screen, you’ll see a memory full icon.

You can still use the Answer phone menu and play back your messages but you’ll see an error message – Memory full. No messages can be left – and you’ll hear Memory full before you play back new or old messages.

• Call Diversion – diverts incoming calls to

another number of your choice. You can choose:

- all calls to be diverted

- calls only to be diverted when the

line’s busy

- calls only to be diverted if you don’t

answer them

• Ring back – gives you an automatic call back

from an engaged number, so you don’t need to dial a busy number over and over again. Just dial 5, wait for a conﬁrmation message and hang up. Your phone will keep trying the busy number for up to 45 minutes.

• Reminder call – lets you book an alarm call.

It’s like an alarm clock, but it lets you book an alarm call several days ahead. You can set repeat reminders every day or as a one-off call to remind you of an event.

• Anonymous call reject – blocks calls from

withheld or anonymous numbers. If a caller withholds their number, they won’t be able to get through to you.

audio ﬁles into the folder that you created. If the music ﬁles have accompanying artwork in JPEG format, rename the art ﬁle albumart.jpg and include it in the same folder as the music ﬁles.

4 If you’ve created any playlists, create a

subfolder for them in your music folder and copy the playlists into it.
