Getting started
WARNING
Do not place your BT Zenith Flip
in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Zenith Flip has a range of
300 metres outdoors when there is
a clear line of sight between the
base and handset. When there is
no clear line of sight between the
base and handset, e.g. base
indoors and handset either indoors
or outdoors, the range could be
reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone
walls severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset
screen indicates when you are in
range. When you are out of range,
it flashes. You will also hear
warning beep. During a call, you
will hear an out of range warning
beep in the earpiece.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until the handset is fully charged
for 24 hours. The base must be
plugged into the mains power at
all times.
Which socket?
Power socket
Telephone line socket
Location
You need to place your BT Zenith Flip within 2 metres of
a mains power 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 Zenith Flip 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 cable into the base.
Route the cable through the channel on the base.
Plug the other end of the cable into the wall socket.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047
9Getting started
2. Insert handset battery. Push in the button on the battery
compartment coverand slide the cover off . Slot the
Li-ion battery supplied into the handsetand replace
the cover .

3. Charge the handset for at least 24 hours by placing it on
the base. The red charging light comes on. The exterior
screen shows the clock. The handset is pre-registered to the
base as Zenith 1. The screen shows the standby display.
The red charging light stays on while the handset is
being charged. Once fully charged the light will go off.
Battery low warning
The handset battery symbol is
empty and flashing and you will
hear a warning beep every 30
seconds. Start recharging your
handset right away or the handset
will shut down.
When charging the battery symbol
is animated.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047
10Getting started
Battery performance
When the battery is fully charged
the display a full, yellow-green
coloured battery.
Running the battery right down at
least once a week will help it last as
long as possible.
On a full charge, your BT Zenith
Flip handset gives you up to 10
hours talk time or up to 90 hours
standby.
The charge capacity of a
rechargeable battery will reduce
with time as it wears out, giving
the handset less talk/standby time.
Eventually it will need to be
replaced.
The battery and handset may
become warm during charging.
This is normal.
Only use a Li-ion rechargeable
battery with a recommended
capacity of 3.7V 720mAh.
Using an inappropriate battery
will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
Helpline
If you are having difficulties setting
up or using your BT Zenith Flip,
please call the BT Zenith Flip
Helpline on 0870 605 8047
4. After 24 hours charging, plug one end of the telephone line
cord into the base and the other end into the wall socket.
Route the cable through the channel on the base.
Date and time
If you have subscribed to your network’s Caller Display
service, the time will be set automatically when you
receive your first call. However, this will not set the
date.
To set the date and time, see page 69.
Your BT Zenith Flip is ready to use.
