Getting started
WARNING
Do not place your BT PaperJet 45 in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The handset reception range from the BT
PaperJet 45 is up to 300m outdoors and up
to 50m indoors.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset display
indicates when you are in range. When you
are out of range the icon and the handset
number disappear from the display.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT connect the telephone line until
the handset is fully charged.
Your BT PaperJet 45 must be plugged into
the mains power at all times for the handset
to work.
Location
You need to place your BT PaperJet 45 close enough to mains power
and telephone sockets so that the cables will reach. Make sure it is at least
1 metre away from other electrical appliances.
Always choose a smooth, flat, horizontal surface. Avoid soft surfaces
such as carpets.
As documents come out at the front, make sure there are no
obstructions in front of the machine.
Avoid direct sunlight as the ink film is heat sensitive .
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cable into the machine, and the other end into the
mains power.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover on the handset and insert the
3 x AAA rechargeable batteries.
ILLUSTRATION
Replace the battery compartment cover.
6
Never place the handset on the BT PaperJet
45 cradle without its batteries. This could
permanently damage the handset.
3. Charge the handset for at least 12 hours.
Place the handset in the cradle with the buttons facing outwards.
The icon on the handset display fills up to indicate charging is taking
place.
You can use all the other functions of your BT PaperJet 45 straight away,
but we recommend you leave the handset charging for at least 12 hours
to ensure the batteries are up to full strength.
4. Plug the telephone line cord into the LINE socket on the side of your
BT PaperJet 45 and plug the other end into the telephone wall socket.
5. Your BT PaperJet 45 can hold up to 15 sheets of 80g/m2 paper.
To prevent several sheets being drawn into the machine together, always
fan out the paper first, then tap it down on a flat surface before inserting
it into the paper tray.
Lift the top flap and rotate the paper support arm upwards.
Pull the paper feed flap forward, load the paper, and close the flap.
Getting started 7
WARNING
Never place the handset on the cradle
without its batteries. This could permanently
damage the handset.
Battery low warning
If the display shows the battery is
almost flat.
Battery performance
To keep your handset batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off the base for
a few hours at a time (after the initial 12
hour charge).
Running the batteries right down at least
once a week will help them last as long as
possible.
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.
Under no circumstances use nonrechargeable batteries. Only use AAA NiMH
rechargeable batteries. Using inappropriate
batteries will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
6. Your BT PaperJet 45 display will now alternate between
ENTER TIME
and
the time and date settings.
Using the keypad, enter the time and date, e.g. = 9:15am
and = 15th May 2004, then press .
7. To enter your name and fax number, open the Easy Install option by
pressing for at least two seconds. Your BT PaperJet 45 prints the
one page Easy Install instructions.
Now follow the on-screen prompts together with the printed instructions.
Connect any additional devices
…To the same socket
You can connect an answering machine to the same telephone socket
as your BT PaperJet 45.
Getting started8
Entering names
Use the keyboard to enter text.
Connecting to a switchboard?
To set up switchboard/PBX connection, see
page 60.
If you want to receive faxes via a modem
you must set your BT PaperJet 45 to
MANUAL RECEPTION, see page 21.
If you are attaching a text message (SMS)
compatible cordless phone on the same line,
it is impossible to predict which machine will
actually receive incoming text messages.
We recommend switching off text reception
on your cordless phone. If you cannot do
this, switch it off on your BT PaperJet 45,
see page 35.
…To separate sockets
You can connect other devices to the same line even if they are in
different rooms.
