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.  
Never dispose of batteries in a  
fire. There is a serious risk of  
explosion and/or the release of  
highly toxic chemicals.  
Cleaning  
Simply clean the handset and  
base station with a damp (not  
wet) cloth, or an antistatic wipe.  
Never use household polish as  
this will damage the product.  
Never use a dry cloth as this  
may cause a static shock.

Quartet 1100 User Guide – Edition 5 – 17.8.00  
Setting up  
Follow these steps to set up your Quarter 1100 ready for use.  
1 Plug the power supply  
unit cord into the back  
of the base unit  
Plan the location  
Situate your Quartet 1100 close  
enough to 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 products to  
avoid interference.  
Do not situate the product in the  
bathroom or other humid areas.  
Your Quartet 1100 works by sending  
and receiving radio signals between  
the base unit and the handset.  
The strength of the signal depends  
on where you site the base unit and  
how the aerial is deployed.  
The higher the base unit is located,  
the better. An upstairs room is ideal.  
2 Connect the base unit  
power supply unit to a  
power socket  
Your product can be wall mounted,  
for more information see page 26.  
The power supply unit must remain  
plugged in all the time.  
8
Quartet 1100 User Guide – Edition 5 – 17.8.00  
Note  
Note  
Do not connect the telephone line  
cord to the phone socket until the  
handset is fully charged. This will  
prevent the risk of the phone being  
answered before the batteries are  
charged, which may prevent them  
from reaching maximum capacity.  
When fully charged and in good  
condition, the handset will provide  
up to 7 hours talktime or 72 hours  
standby.  
If the handset battery is running  
low, the IN USE/BATTERY LOW  
light on the handset will flash every  
10-15 seconds.  
If you are making a call and the  
handset battery is running low you  
will hear a warning tone every  
10-15 seconds.  
3 Charge the handset  
When you first use your Quartet 1100,  
the rechargeable battery in the  
handset needs charging for 24 hours.  
Place the handset on the base unit  
to recharge.  
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 shop  
or from the Helpline.  
Place the handset on the base unit,  
ensuring the contacts are touching.  
The red CHARGING light will come  
on.  
The charging light will remain  
constantly lit while the handset is  
placed on the base unit, even when the  
handset batteries are fully charged.  
To get the longest possible life  
from your battery, take the handset  
off the base unit for a few hours  
each day.  
WARNING  
Under no circumstances should  
non-rechargeable batteries be used.  
Only use the approved batteries.  
Using unapproved batteries will  
invalidate your warranty and may  
damage the telephone.

codes  
Your Quartet 1100 has its own digital  
security code that prevents other  
cordless phone owners from using  
your phone line. This ensures that  
you are charged only for calls using  
your phone. However, all approved  
cordless phones use radio signals to  
communicate between the base unit  
and cordless handset units. It is  
therefore possible that your

Wall mounting  
Your Quartet 1100 can be  
wall-mounted by removing the desk  
bracket.  
For the best operating conditions,  
try to place the base unit away from  
large metal objects and other  
electrical appliances.  
Please refer to page 28,  
wall-mounting template.  
1
Drill 2 holes for the screws and  
insert the wall-plugs provided (if  
required).  
Note  
WALL PLUG  
Before you wall-mount your  
Quartet 1100, check that:  
70 mm  
WALL  
the wall can support the weight  
of the base unit and handset;  
the position you choose leaves  
enough space so that the base  
unit is clear of any obstruction  
on the wall, such as a shelf or  
cupboard. Room should be left  
so that the handset can be placed  
on charge without touching any  
obstructions.  
2 Drive the screws into the wall,  
leaving about 4mm free on which to  
mount the bracket and base unit.  
3
Make sure that the power supply and  
the telephone cables are connected  
to the base unit, then fit the cables  
into the channels on the bottom of  
the base unit.  
Attach the base unit by hooking it  
4
over the screws protruding from  
the wall.
