Quick set-up guide

Where to put your phone

• Place the base within

3 metres of a mains power socket and 3 metres of a phone socket so the cables will reach.

• Make sure it’s at least a metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference.

• Don’t place the phone or base in a bathroom or other humid area.

• The product works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you position the base. Putting it as high as possible can help give you the best signal.

IMPORTANT

• Don’t connect the phone line to a phone socket until the handset is fully charged.

• The base station should be plugged into the mains power socket all the time.

1

Plug in

1. Plug the mains power adaptor into the base.

2

2. Plug the other end of the power adaptor into the wall power socket and switch on.

1

The phone line cord is pre-installed but don’t plug the other end into the wall socket yet.

1. Activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab away from the back of the handset.

Rechargeable batteries already fitted

Remove this tab and charge batteries for 24 hours before use.

2. The Power on animation will start up and then the handset will check for a link with the base station, once found the screen will show

Set time and date

. The set-up wizard will take you through the steps for: setting the time and date, using Caller

Display, setting call blocking and adding contacts to your phonebook.

Select

Yes

by pressing the Left option button if you want to follow the set-up wizard prompt or select

No

by pressing the Right option button to continue to the next prompt until set up is complete.

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give up to 16 hours talk time or

180 hours standby on a single charge. (This doesn’t mean you can unplug the base or leave the handset for this length of time without charge).

Please note that new Ni-MH rechargeable batteries don’t reach full capacity until they’ve been in normal use for several days.

Battery Low warning

The icon will flash, you’ll see the message

Battery

Low

in the display and hear a warning beep every minute, to indicate that you need to recharge your handset. You can remove the display message by selecting

Hide

. If the battery charge completely runs out, the display will show

Charge

Batteries!

. You must recharge the handset batteries before you can use the handset. If the charge completely runs out the handset will switch off. Place the handset on the base or charger to charge.

6 Quick set-up guide

Battery performance

• 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.

• After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time for the batteries is approximately

8 hours.

• The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will go down over time, which will reduce the talk and standby time. Eventually they’ll need replacing.

For details on how to get replacement batteries, call the helpline on 0800 145

6789*.

3. Once set-up is complete your handset will display

Please check line cord

, place the handset on the base to charge until step 4.

4. After 24 hours, plug the phone line cord into the phone wall socket.

IMPORTANT

Charge the handset batteries for 24 hours or your phone might not work.

Set up your additional handsets (multi packs only)

1. For additional handsets and chargers: plug the mains power adaptor into the back of the charger and plug the other end into the mains wall socket and switch on the power.

2. Activate the batteries as explained on page 5. If you set the time and date on the first handset then it will be shared with all other handsets in your multi pack once you activate the batteries.

3. Place the handset on the charger to charge for

24 hours.

If you ever need to remove the batteries, simply slide open the battery compartment cover and ease out the batteries.

Using your BT4000 on a broadband line?

If so, you need to fit an

ADSL microfilter between the phone line cord and the phone socket. You can get

BT ADSL microfilters from

bt.com/shop

If you use BT Infinity you will not need to use an ADSL microfilter. For other types of broadband, please check with your provider if a microfilter is required.
