Setting up

Please note that your handset is already registered to the base station.

Plan the location

Situate your product close enough to the telephone and mains power sockets so that the cables will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical products to avoid interference.

Do not situate the product in the bathroom or other humid areas.

1Connect the power supply and switch on.

Once connected, put the plinth back on the base to prevent it from rocking on the table.

There are two positions for the plinth when joining it to the base, both can be used for desk mounting and one for wall mounting. Position A is for desk mounting only and position B is for desk or wall mounting (see wall mounting on page 31).

AB

Thread the power supply cable and line cord through the square hole in the plinth before fixing to the base.

Plug the power supply cable into the socket on the underside of your base. The power cable connector and socket are coloured red.

WARNING

Please take care that the power supply and telephone line cord are connected to the correct sockets as incorrect placement could damage your equipment.

Rubber feet

Hold the black plastic square between thumb and forefinger and peel off individual feet from backing sheet as shown. These are to stop your base from moving and to protect your work surface.

If you decide on position B, place 2 of the rubber feet on the plinth and 2 on the base.

Plug the power adaptor into the wall socket and switch on. When the power is switched on, the button on your base will light up.

SMS specifications

BT SMS, or British Telecommunications Short Message Service, is a messaging service that allows users to send and receive text messages via mobile networks. This service has become increasingly popular due to its ease of use, reliability, and the ability to communicate in real time. BT SMS integrates various technologies, making it a crucial tool for both personal and professional communication.

One of the main features of BT SMS is its reliability. The service operates on established mobile network infrastructure, ensuring messages are transmitted quickly and efficiently. Additionally, SMS is designed to deliver messages even when mobile data services are unavailable, making it an essential mode of communication in areas with limited connectivity.

Another significant characteristic of BT SMS is its wide compatibility. It can be used across various mobile devices, regardless of the operating system. This universality is further enhanced by the ability to communicate with different network providers, allowing users to send messages to anyone, anywhere, as long as they have a mobile phone.

BT SMS supports various multimedia messaging capabilities, such as sending images, videos, and emoji through MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). This enriches the text communication experience, allowing users to convey emotions and visual information that plain text may not adequately express.

Security features are also integral to BT SMS. Messages are often encrypted during transmission, protecting users' privacy and ensuring that their conversations remain confidential. Additionally, users have the option to enable message delivery reports, which provide confirmation when a message is successfully delivered.

The technology behind BT SMS is based on a store-and-forward mechanism. When a message is sent, it is first stored in the network's SMS Center until it can be delivered to the recipient's device. This allows for smooth delivery even if the recipient's phone is switched off or out of coverage at the time the message is sent.

In conclusion, BT SMS remains an essential communication tool with its reliability, compatibility, multimedia capabilities, security features, and robust technology. Whether for personal interactions or professional engagements, BT SMS continues to evolve, catering to the needs of users in a fast-paced, digital world. Its simplicity and effectiveness ensure that it remains relevant in an era dominated by various messaging applications.
