Getting started
WARNING
Location
Do not place your BT Diverse 6250
in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
You need to place your BT Diverse 6250 base close
enough to a mains power and telephone socket so that
the cables will reach.
Handset range
The BT Diverse 6250 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 6250 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
SEARCHING and 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 indicator
lights 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.

.
3. Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 hours by

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).
Running the batteries right down
at least once a week will help them
last as long as possible.
On a full charge, your BT Diverse
6250 handset gives up to 13 hours
talk time or up to 170 hours
standby.
Telephone line cord
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
Your BT Diverse 6250 is ready for use.
Batteries and handset may
become warm during charging.
This is normal.
