Getting started  
WARNING  
Location  
Do not place your BT Diverse 6450  
in the bathroom or other humid  
areas.  
You need to place your BT Diverse 6450 base close  
enough to a mains power and telephone socket so that  
the cables will reach.  
Handset range  
The BT Diverse 6450 has a range  
of 300 metres outdoors when there  
is a clear line of sight between the  
base and the handset. When there  
is no clear line of sight between the  
base and the handset, e.g. base  
indoors and handset either indoors  
or outdoors, the range could be  
reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone  
walls can severely affect the range.  
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical  
appliances to avoid interference.  
Your BT Diverse 6450 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.  
Signal strength  
The  
symbol on your handset  
Setting up  
screen indicates when you are in  
range. When you are out of range,  
it flashes and the screen displays  
SEARCHINGand there is a beep,  
you are out of range.  
1. Plug the mains power adaptor into the power socket on  
the underside of the base. Plug the other end into the  
mains socket. The Power/In Use and message indicators  
light up.  
IMPORTANT  
Do not connect the telephone line  
until at least one of the handsets is  
fully charged.  
The base station must be plugged  
into the mains power at all times.

Battery low warning  
When the batteries need  
recharging, the handset beeps and  
the display shows  
2. Batteries will come inserted in the battery compartment.  
Pull the plastic tag as instructed to activate the batteries.  
.
Battery level  
The battery symbol shows the  
current level.  
Battery performance  
To keep your batteries in the best  
condition, leave the handset off  
the base for a few hours at a time  
(after the initial 16 hour charge).  
3. Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 hours by  
placing the handset on the base. The screen shows the  
battery icon filling up.  
Running the batteries right down  
at least once a week will help them  
last as long as possible.  
4. Connect the telephone line cord to the base and plug the  
other end into the wall socket.  
On a full charge, your BT Diverse  
6450 handset gives you up to 10  
hours talk time or up to 30 hours  
standby. Standby time is increased  
if set to battery save mode, see  
page 74 for details.  
The charge capacity of  
rechargeable batteries will reduce  
with time as they wear out, giving  
the handset less talk/standby time.  
Eventually they will need to be  
replaced.  
Batteries and handset may  
become warm during charging.  
This is normal.  
Telephone line cord  
Your BT Diverse 6450 is ready for use.

rechargeable batteries. Only use

Display service, the day and time is automatically set  
when you receive your first incoming call.  
However, you can also set the day and time manually,  
see page 83.
