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/

Setting up  
Please note that your handset is already  
registered to the base station.  
WARNING  
Please take care that the power supply and  
telephone line cord are connected to the  
correct sockets as incorrect placement could  
damage your equipment.  
Plan the location  
Situate your product close enough to the  
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 socket. Therefore you  
must ensure you plan the location so that the  
mains power is easily accessed.  
Once connected, put the plinth back on the  
base to prevent it from rocking on the table.  
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 39).  
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.

B

Connect the power supply and  
switch on.  
IMPORTANT  
Rubber feet  
You must thread the power supply and line  
cord through the plinth before you connect to  
the power supply.  
Hold the black plastic square between thumb  
and forefinger and peel off individual feet from  
backing sheet as shown. These are to stop your  
base from moving and to protect your work  
surface.  
Plug the power supply cable into the socket on  
the underside of your base. The power cable  
connector and socket are coloured red.  
Plug the line cord into the other socket on the  
underside of the base marked with a telephone  
symbol.  
If you decide on position B, place 2 of the  
rubber feet on the plinth and 2 on the base.  
Plinth  
Plug the power adaptor into the wall socket and  
switch on. When the power is switched on, the  
button on your base will light up.

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.

Battery low warning  
If the handset battery symbol is empty and you  
hear warning beeps, you will need to recharge  
your handset before you can use it.

Charge the handset battery  
for at least 16 hours  
Battery performance  
WARNING  
Your handset is supplied with NiMH  
batteries. These need to be initially charged  
continuously for 16 hours to reach full  
charge.  
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.  
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.  
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 0870 240 4682.  
Helpline  
If you are experiencing difficulty, please call  
the BT On-Air Helpline on 0870 240 4682.  
When the battery has been charged for at least  
16 hours the display will show the symbol;  
you can then connect the telephone line cord to  
the base.
