Do not place your BT Studio 1500 in  
the bathroom or other humid areas.

please follow instructions  
and  
Handset range  
The BT Studio 1500 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.  
A
Location  
You need to place your BT Studio 1500 close enough to  
a mains power and telephone socket so that the cables  
will reach.  
The strength of the handset signal depends on where  
you site the base. Make sure it is at least 1 metre away  
from other electrical appliances to avoid interference.  
Signal strength  
The icon on your handset  
indicates when you are in range.  
When it flashes, you are out of  
range.  
Setting up the base and handset  
1. Plug the power adaptor and telephone cable into the  
back of the base.  
When you move out of range of  
the base, you will hear the out of  
range tone. This tone is repeated  
until you move back into range.  
IMPORTANT  
The base station must be plugged  
into the mains power socket at all  
times.  
Do not connect the telephone line  
until the handset is fully charged.  
Which socket?  
2. Plug the power adaptor into the mains wall socket and  
switch the power on. When connected correctly, the

Talk/Standby time  
3. Install the 2 x AAA rechargeable batteries supplied.  
Then slide the battery compartment cover into place.  
In ideal conditions, the handset  
batteries should give about 10  
hours talk time or 100 hours  
standby on a single charge. The  
base must remain plugged in to  
the mains and switched on at all  
times.  
Note that new batteries do not  
reach full capacity until they have  
been in normal use for several  
days.

display will be shown:  
To keep your batteries in the best  
condition, leave the handset off  
the base for a few hours at a time  
Running the batteries right down  
at least once a week will help them  
last as long as possible.  
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. New batteries are

Answer delay  
What is Time Saver?  
Answer delay is the number of times your BT Studio 1500  
rings before the answering machine picks up the call and  
starts playing the outgoing message.  
Time Saver can save you the cost  
of call when you want to ring in to  
find out if you have new messages.  
(See ‘Remote access’, page 46).  
You can choose between 2–9 rings, or Time Saver.  
The default setting is Time Saver.  
If you have new messages, your  
answering machine answers after  
2 rings. If you do not have new  
messages, it answers after 6 rings.  
This gives you a chance to hang up  
before the line is connected.
