Getting started
WARNING
Do not place your BT Studio 3500 in
the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Studio 3500 has a range of up
to 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
will normally be up to 50 metres.
Thick stone walls can severely affect
the range.
Signal strength
The icon on your handset display
indicates when you are in range of the
base. When it flashes and you hear a
warning beep, you are out of range
and will need to move closer to the
base.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
cord to the telephone line wall socket
until the handset is fully charged.
Only use the telephone line
cord provided.
The base station should be plugged
into the mains power socket at all
times.
Location
You need to place your BT Studio 3500 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 Studio 3500 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 can
help to provide the best signal.
Setting up the base and handset
1. Plug the power adaptor and telephone cable into the back of
the base.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com
8474 Studio 3500 UG Iss2 [2] 25/10/07 16:37 Page 7
BT Studio 3500 – Issue 1 – Edition 2.1 –02.04.07 – 7999
2. Plug the power adaptor into the mains wall socket and switch
the power on. When connected correctly, the green Power
light on the base comes on.
3. Insert the 2 x AAA rechargeable batteries supplied, taking
note of the polarity markings inside the battery
compartment, then slide the battery compartment shut.
4. Place the handset on the base to charge. You should let the
batteries charge continuously for at least 24 hours.
The batteries and case may become warm during charging,
this is normal.
5. Once fully charged, plug the telephone line cord into the
telephone wall socket.
Getting started
WARNING
Never use non-rechargeable
batteries. Only use the approved
batteries. Using unapproved batteries
will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 10 hours
30 minutes talk time or 160 hours
standby on a single charge. (This does
not mean you can unplug the base or
leave it for this length of time without
charge).
Please note that new NiMH
rechargeable batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.

Battery low warning
If the icon is flashing in the
display and you hear a warning beep
every minute during a call, you will
need to recharge your handset before
you can use it.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com

Getting started
Battery performance
To keep the 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.
After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging time for
the batteries is approximately 6– 8
hours.
The charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, thus reducing the
talk/standby time. Eventually they
will need replacing.
New batteries are available from the
BT Studio Helpline on
0870 605 8047 or email
bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com.
BT Studio 3500 multipack users only:
Place each BT Studio 3500 charger within reach of a mains
power wall socket.
Connect the charger(s) and charge the handset(s)
i. Plug the mains power adaptor into the power socket on the
underside of the charger and plug the other end to the mains
power wall socket.
ii. Insert the 2 x AAA rechargeable batteries supplied, taking
note of the polarity markings inside the battery
compartment, then slide the battery compartment shut.
iii. Place the handset on the charger. You should let the batteries
charge continuously for at leas
