Safety information

General

Only use the power supply included with the product.
Using an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your
warranty and may damage the telephone. The item
number for the mains power supply is 872101.

If Keyguard is active, it is still possible to make
emergency calls to 999 and 112.

Do not open the handset or base station. This could
expose you to high voltages or other risks. Contact the
helpline for all repairs.

Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base
may cause interference to hearing aids.

This product should not be used near
emergency/intensive care medical equipment and
should not be used by people with pacemakers.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious
risk of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic
chemicals.

Cleaning

Simply clean the handset and base station with a damp
(not wet) cloth, or an antistatic wipe. Never use

household polish as this will damage the product.
Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

Environmental

Do not expose to direct sunlight.
The product may heat up when the batteries are being

recharged. This is normal. However, we recommend
that you do not place the product on antique/veneered
wood to avoid damage.

Do not stand your product on carpets or other surfaces
which generate fibres, or place it in locations preventing
free flow of air over it’s surfaces.

Do not submerge any part of your product in water and
do not use it in damp or humid conditions, such as in
bathrooms.

Do not expose your product to fire, explosive or other
hazardous conditions.

There is a slight chance that your phone could be
damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that
you unplug the power and telephone line cord for the
duration of the storm.

Once connected, put the plinth back on the
base to prevent it from rocking on the table.

There are two positions for the plinth when
joining it to the base, both can be used for
desk mounting and one for wall mounting.
Position A is for desk mounting only and
position B is for desk or wall mounting (see

wall mounting on page 22).

6

Please note that your handset is already
registered to the base station.

Situate your product close enough to the
telephone and mains power sockets so that
the cables will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from
other electrical products to avoid interference.

Do not situate the product in the bathroom or
other humid areas.

Setting up

1 Connect the power supply and

switch on.

Thread the power supply cable and line cord
through the square hole in the plinth before
fixing to the base.

Plug the power supply cable into the socket
on the underside of your base. The power
cable connector and socket are coloured red.

WARNING

Please take care that the power supply and
telephone line cord are connected to the
correct sockets as incorrect placement could
damage your equipment.

WARNING

Do not connect the telephone line cord to
the phone socket until your handset is fully
charged. This will prevent the risk of the
phone being answered before the battery is
charged. Answering the phone before the
battery is fully charged may prevent it from
reaching its optimum capacity.

Plan the location

BA

Rubber feet

Hold the black plastic square between thumb
and forefinger and peel off individual feet from
backing sheet as shown. These are to stop
your base from moving and to protect your
work surface.

If you decide on position B, place 2 of the
rubber feet on the plinth and 2 on the base.

Plug the power adaptor into the wall socket
and switch on. When the power is switched on,
the button on your base will light up.

7

2 Install the battery in the

handset and charge them for at
least 16 hours

3 Connect the telephone line cord

(after charging your handset)

Plug the line cord into the telephone wall
socket.

Slide off the battery cover and install the
battery. Replace the battery cover.

When the battery has been charged for at
least 16 hours the display will show the

symbol; you can then connect the telephone

line cord to the base.

WARNING

Under no circumstances should non­rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the
approved batteries. Using unapproved
batteries will invalidate your warranty and
may damage the telephone.

Fully discharging the batteries at least once
a week will help them to last as long as
possible. However, the charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will reduce with time
as they wear out, so reducing the
talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually
they will need to be replaced. New batteries
can be obtained from any BT Shop or from
the helpline on 0845 601 2476.

Battery performance

Your handset is supplied with NiMH
batteries. These need to be initially charged
continuously for 16 hours to reach full charge.

Note that the battery charge icon does not
indicate the correct level when the batteries
are first installed. The batteries must first be
fully charged.

Battery low warning

If the handset battery symbol is empty and
you hear warning beeps, you will need to
recharge your handset before you can use it.

Helpline

If you are experiencing difficulty, please call
the BT On-Air Helpline on 0845 601 2476.

How many telephones can you have on
the line?

All items of telephone equipment have a
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) which is
used to calculate the number of items that
may be connected to any one telephone line.
The BT On-Air 1100 Executive (with up to 6
handsets) has a total REN of 1. Any other
instrument provided by BT may be assumed
to have a REN of 1 unless stated otherwise.
A total REN of 4 is allowed per telephone line.
(For example: if the BT On-Air Executive is
used in conjunction with three extension
telephones, each with a REN of 1, then the
total REN = 4)

Only use approved power supply item code

872101.
Only use approved batteries item code 872102.

General information

Helpline

If you are experiencing difficulty, please call
the BT On-Air Helpline on 0845 601 2476.

When you connect your telephone to a
switchboard, you can set the switchboard’s
external line access code so that when you
make an external call using the handset
directory or redial list the code is
automatically dialled before the number.

Switchboard External Line
Access Code

Press the DOWN button to select

Min.length

.
Press OK.
Enter the number of digits to make

an internal call to other extensions
on your switchboard.

Press OK to store.

Note

For the external line access code to be
dialled for external calls only, it is important
that all external numbers stored in your
handset directory must contain more digits
than the number of digits required to make
an internal call to other extensions on your
switchboard. This is most likely to occur
when you have local external numbers stored
in the handset directory without the area
code. To overcome potential problems ensure
that all numbers are stored complete with
area code.

To set the external line access code

Press the UP button to select

Base

.
Press OK.
Press the DOWN button to select

Base settings

.
Press OK.
Press the DOWN button to select

Enter the switchboard external line
access code, e.g. 9. You can enter
codes up to 8 digits in length.

digits required to make internal calls
to other extensions on your
switchboard.

Wall mounting

If wall mounting your BT On-Air 1100
Executive, use this guide for position.

• Make sure that you are not drilling into any

hidden wiring and check that the power
cable will reach from the mains socket to
the charger. Switch the power adaptor off at
the mains and remove the adaptor plug
from its socket.

• Drill two holes 25mm deep using a 3mm

drill, 122mm apart to take the wall plugs.

• Put wall plugs into the drill holes and then

insert both screws. Leave 2-3mm between
the head of the screw and the wall. You are
now able to mount the base to the wall.

• Fit the base onto the two screws.

If necessary, tighten or loosen the screws
for the best fit.

• Put the handset back in the base and switch

the power back on at the wall socket.

Once slotted into the rear
of the base, slide upwards
to lock into position.
