Getting started  
WARNING  
Location  
Do not place your BT Studio 3500 in  
the bathroom or other humid areas.  
You need to place your BT Studio 3500 within 2 metres of the  
mains power socket and telephone socket so that the cables  
will reach.  
Handset range  
The BT Studio 3500 has a range of up  
to 300 metres outdoors when there  
is a clear line of sight between the  
base and handset. Any obstruction  
between the base and handset will  
reduce the range significantly.  
With the base indoors and handset  
either indoors or outdoors, the range  
will normally be up 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 Studio 3500 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 can  
help to provide the best signal.  
Signal strength  
The icon on your handset display  
indicates when you are in range of the  
base. When it flashes and you hear a  
warning beep, you are out of range  
and will need to move closer to the  
base.  
Setting up the base and handset  
1. Plug the power adaptor and telephone cable into the back of  
the base.  
IMPORTANT  
Do not connect the telephone line  
cord to the telephone line wall socket  
until the handset is fully charged.  
Only use the telephone line  
cord provided.  
The base station should be plugged  
into the mains power socket at all  
times.  
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email [email protected]

WARNING  
Never use non-rechargeable  
batteries. Only use the approved  
batteries. Using unapproved batteries  
will invalidate your guarantee and  
may damage the telephone.  
2. Plug the power adaptor into the mains wall socket and switch  
the power on. When connected correctly, the green Power  
light on the base comes on.  
3. Insert the 2 x AAA rechargeable batteries supplied, taking  
note of the polarity markings inside the battery  
Talk/Standby time  
compartment, then slide the battery compartment shut.  
Under ideal conditions, the handset  
batteries should give about 10 hours  
30 minutes talk time or 160 hours  
standby on a single charge. (This does  
not mean you can unplug the base or  
leave it for this length of time without  
charge).  
Please note that new NiMH  
rechargeable batteries do not reach  
full capacity until they have been in  
normal use for several days.  
See ‘Battery performance’ on the  
following page.

display and you hear a warning beep  
every minute during a call, you will  
need to recharge your handset before  
you can use it.  
5. Once fully charged, plug the telephone line cord into the  
telephone wall socket.  
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email [email protected]

Getting started  
Battery performance  
BT Studio 3500 multipack users only:  
Place each BT Studio 3500 charger within reach of a mains  
power wall socket.  
To keep the 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.  
Connect the charger(s) and charge the handset(s)  
After charging your handset for the  
first time, subsequent charging time for  
the batteries is approximately 6–8  
hours.  
i. Plug the mains power adaptor into the power socket on the  
underside of the charger and plug the other end to the mains  
power wall socket.  
The charge capacity of rechargeable  
batteries will reduce with time as they  
wear out, thus reducing the  
talk/standby time. Eventually they  
will need replacing.  
ii. Insert the 2 x AAA rechargeable batteries supplied, taking  
note of the polarity markings inside the battery  
compartment, then slide the battery compartment shut.  
New batteries are available from the  
BT Studio Helpline on  
0870 605 8047 or email  
iii. Place the handset on the charger. You should let the batteries  
charge continuously for at least 24 hours.  
The display will show the time and the handset number e.g.  
2
, to show it is registered to the base.  
Your phone is now set up to make and receive calls. Please  
note that the answering machine is already switched on and is  
ready to answer incoming calls.  
To switch the answering machine off press  
on the base.  
The machine announces “Answer Off”. See page 27 for more  
information about your answering machine.
