1 Plug your Response 110 into
the phone socket

If you do not have a modern phone socket,
call Freefone 0800 800 150 and ask for a BT
engineer to come and fit the correct socket.
This is a chargeable service.

Warning

1 Do not try to use any power adaptor

except the one provided (item code

871036) if you do you may
permanently damage your Response 110
and this will invalidate the warranty.

Your Response 110 is pre-set to TONE (TB)
dialling. This ensures the phone will work with
all modern digital exchanges.

If you dial a number and continue to hear the
dialling tone, you may need to switch the
phone to PULSE (P) dialling.

5 Set the ringer volume

The ringer switch is located on the back of the
base unit. There are three settings.

• HI– a loud ring.

Your Response 110 is pre-set to this position.

a single beep, the MC30 cassette operates
briefly.

6 Wall mounting (optional)

Before you start, make sure that the telephone
is in easy reach of the power supply and a
telephone socket, and that the wall can support
the weight of your Response 110.

Drill two holes for the screws and insert the
Rawlplugs provided (if you need them).
Insert the screws leaving about 2-3 mm
sticking out to hang the bracket from.

A template is printed at the back of this guide
(page 25) which you can use to mark where you
will put the screws into the wall.

Attach the Response 110 by hooking it over the
screws protruding from the wall.
