Getting started

Location

Place your BT Inspire 1500 within 2 metres of the power socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach. Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference.

Your BT Inspire 1500 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.

Setting up

1. Plug the power cable with the blue end into the socket marked on the underside of the base and plug the other end into

the power wall socket and switch the power on. You can place the cable behind the retaining clip to prevent the plug being accidentally pulled from the socket.

WARNING

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

Handset range

The BT Inspire 1500 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.

Signal strength

The icon on your handset indicates when you are in range. If moving out of range of the base, the range indicator will flash. If you go out of range, any call you are on will be lost.

IMPORTANT

The base station must be plugged into the power socket at all times. Do not connect the telephone line to the telephone wall socket until the handset is fully charged. Only use the power and telephone cables supplied with the product.

Battery low warning

If the icon flashes in the handset display you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again. You also hear a low battery warning beep once every 60 seconds.

During charging, the icon will scroll in the display as shown on page 10.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0800 218 2182* or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com
