WARNING
Do not place your BT Reveal
i
n the bathroom or other
h
umid areas.
Handset range
The BT Reveal has a range of
300 metres outdoors when
there is a clear line of sight
between the base and handset.
Any obstruction between the
base and handset will reduce
the range significantly.
With the base indoors and
handset either indoors or
outdoors, the range could be
reduced to 50 metres. Thick
stone walls can severely affect
the range.
Signal strength
The
icon on your handset
indicates when you are in range.
When you move out of range of
the base, the out of range tone
(2 beeps) will sound every 10
seconds. This tone is repeated
until you move back into range.
If you do not move back into
range you risk your call
being disconnected.
IMPORTANT
The base station must be
plugged into the mains power
socket at all times. Do not
connect the telephone line until
the handset is fully charged. Only
use the power and telephone
cables supplied with the product.
For instructions on how to install
new batteries, see page 82.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047
or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com
Location
You need to place your BT Reveal within 2 metres
of the mains power socket and telephone 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 Reveal works by sending radio signals
between the handset and base. The strength of the
signal depends on where you site the base. Putting
it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cord into the socket marked
‘Power’ on the underside of the base and connect
the other end to the mains power wall socket.
When correctly connected you will hear two beeps
and the blue downlight will come on.
2. Remove the battery guard tab from the bottom of
the handset.
Getting started
7
Talk/Standby time
In ideal conditions, fully charged
h
andset batteries should give
a
bout 10 hours talk time or 100
hours standby time on a single
24 hour charge. The base must
remain plugged in to the mains
and switched on at all times.
Note that new batteries do not
reach full capacity until they
have been in normal use for
several days.
Battery low warning
If the handset has 15 minutes
or less talk-time remaining the
symbol will flash in the
display. If you are on a call, you
will hear 2 warning beeps every
30 seconds to alert you. You will
need to recharge the handset
before you can use it again.
Battery performance
To keep your 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.
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.
New batteries are available
from the BT Reveal Helpline
on 0870 605 8047.
For instructions on how to install
new batteries, see page 82.
After charging your handset for
the first time, subsequent charging
time is about 6–8 hours a day.
Please note it is normal for
rechargable batteries and the
handset to become warm
during charging.
8 Getting started
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047
or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com
3. Place the handset on the base to charge
(as shown) for at least 24 hours. You will hear
a double beep to confirm the handset is sitting
correctly and the time will illuminate on the back
of the handset.
4. After 24 hours, plug one end of the telephone line
cord into the socket marked ‘Line’ on the
underside of the base and the other end into the
telephone wall socket.
