General
Only use the power supply included with the product. Using an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone. The item number for the base station is 872260. The item number for the charger is 003313 (only applicable if you have purchased the BT Studio Twin).
For the handset use only approved Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. Never use other batteries or conventional alkaline batteries.

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.
It is recommended that advice from a qualified expert be sought before using this product in the vicinity of emergency/intensive care medical equipment.
It is recommended that if you have a pacemaker fitted you check with a medical expert before using this product.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.
Safety information
10
Cleaning
Simply clean the handset and base station with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an anti-static 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 its 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.
11
Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your BT Studio ready for use.
Plan the location
Situate your product close enough to the telephone and mains power supply sockets so that the cables will reach.
Make sure the product is at least 1 metre away from other electrical products to avoid interference.
Do not place your BT Studio in the bathroom or other humid areas.
1 Connect the power supply cable
Plug the power supply cable into the power socket on your BT Studio base station (Item number
872260). The power light on the base will come on.
2
Plug the power supply adaptor into the wall socket
12
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 batteries are charged. Answering the phone before the batteries are fully charged may prevent it from reaching its optimum capacity.
3 Insert the batteries
Insert the two batteries supplied, as indicated on the markings inside the battery compartment and slide the battery compartment shut. The handset display will show . This means one handset is registered to the base. If you have purchased the BT Studio Twin the handset will show
-2-
. See
page 15.
13
Warning
Under no circumstances should NiCad or non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the approved batteries. Using unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.
IMPORTANT
The handset must always be placed on the base face up. The base station must be plugged into the mains power socket at all times.
4
Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 hours
Before you use your BT Studio for the first time it is important to have the handset batteries fully charged. Place the handset on the base station. You will hear a long beep. The red charging light on the base will come on and the battery and charging icon will be displayed. Leave the handset to charge continuously for at least 16 hours to reach full charge.
The handset comes pre-registered but the icon will flash to indicate that the handset is linking up with the base. Once link up is successful the
icon will stop flashing and remain steady.
Once the handset is fully charged, the charging icon will be switched off.
14
Battery levels
Battery low warning
If the handset battery symbol is empty, you will hear a warning beep ever y 1 minute, you will need to recharge your handset before you can use it. The handset will only beep every minute when it is in use. In idle mode the empty battery icon is displayed.
Out of range warning
When the handset is in use and you go out of range of the base it will beep every 1 minute and the icon will flash. Move closer to the base station.
Signal Strength
The BT Studio and BT Studio Twin have a range of up to 300 metres outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors. This is in ideal conditions.
Battery performance
Fully discharging the batteries at least once a week will help them 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 the BT Studio Helpline 08706 058 047.
Note: Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give about 14 hours talktime or 350 hours standby on a single charge. Optimum times for talk and standby are only achieved when the handset batteries are fully charged.
