Setting up
Please note that your handset is already
registered to the base station.
Plug the line cord into the other socket on the
underside of the base marked with a telephone
symbol.
Plan the location
Situate your product close enough to the
WARNING
telephone and mains power sockets so that the
cables will reach. The only way to disconnect
the product from the power supply is to remove
the power adaptor from the mains power socket.
Therefore you must ensure you plan the location
so that the mains power is easily accessed.
Please take care that the power supply and
telephone line cord are connected to the
correct sockets as incorrect placement could
damage your equipment.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from
other electrical products to avoid interference.
Once connected, put the plinth back on the
base to prevent it from rocking on the table.
Do not situate the product in the bathroom or
other humid areas.
There are two positions for the plinth when
joining it to the base, both can be used for desk
mounting and one for wall mounting. Position
A is for desk mounting only and position B is
for desk or wall mounting (see Wall mounting
on page 29).

Important
You must thread the power supply cable
and line cord through the plinth before you
connect to the power supply.

your base from moving and to protect your
work surface.

WARNING
Battery low 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 battery is charged.
Answering the phone before the battery is fully
charged may prevent it from reaching its
optimum capacity.
If the handset battery symbol is empty and you
hear warning beeps, you will need to recharge
your handset before you can use it.
Battery performance
Your handset is supplied with NiMH
batteries. These need to be initially charged
continuously for 16 hours to reach full
charge.
2
Charge the handset battery
for at least 16 hours
Note that the battery charge icon does not
indicate the correct level when the batteries
are first installed. The batteries must first be
fully charged.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use
the approved batteries. Using unapproved
batteries will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
Helpline
If you are experiencing difficulty, please call
the BT On-Air Helpline on 0845 601 2476.
Fully discharging the batteries at least
once a week will help them to 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 any BT Shop or from the Helpline on
0845 601 2476.
