Getting started
WARNING
Location
Do not place your BT Equinox
1350 in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
You need to place your BT Equinox 1350 close enough
to a mains power and telephone socket so that the cables
will reach.
Handset range
The BT Equinox 1350 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.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference.
Your BT Equinox 1350 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
screen indicates when you are in
range. When you are out of range,
it flashes.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cable into the base and plug the
other end into the wall socket.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until at least one of the handsets is
fully charged.
The base must be plugged into the
mains power at all times.

2. Insert 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset.
Slide the battery compartment cover into place.
The red Charging light stays on
while the handset is on the base,
even when the batteries are fully
charged.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully charged
handset batteries should give up
to 9 hours talktime or 70 hours
standby on a single charge.
Battery low warning
The handset battery symbol is
empty and you will hear a warning
beep. Start recharging your
handset right away.
3. Charge the handset for at least 24 hours by placing it on
the base. The red Charging light comes on. The handset
is pre-registered to the base as Handset 1. The screen
shows the standby display.
When charging the battery, level
bars are animated.
Replacing batteries
Use only rechargeable 750mAh or
higher capacity AAA NiMH batteries.
Battery performance
When batteries are fully charged
the display shows three green bars.
To keep your batteries in the best
conditions, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time
(after the initial 24 hour charge).
Please note however, that new
NiMH batteries do not reach full
capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
4. After 24 hours, plug the telephone line cord into the wall
socket and your BT Equinox 1350 base.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047
BT Equinox 1350 – Edition 4.1 – 27.09.05 – 6576
10
Getting started
Running the batteries right down
at least once a week will help them
last as long as possible.
Range indicator
The
symbol on your handset display indicates when
you are in range of the base. If you are out of range, the
symbol will flash. If you are on a call you will hear a
beep in the earpiece and you will need to move closer to
the base. The handset display shows Baseand the
number of the base last used.
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 Equinox
Helpline 0870 605 8047.

If you have subscribed to your network’s Caller Display
service, the time and date will be set automatically when
you receive your first call. However, the day will not be set.
Helpline
When the day is set, your answering machine will
announce the correct day your messages are received.
