Handset range
The BT Zenith Flip has a range of 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and handset. When there is no clear line of sight between the base and handset, e.g. base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range could be reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone walls severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The 
symbol on your handset screen indicates when you are in range. When you are out of range, it flashes. You will also hear warning beep. During a call, you will hear an out of range warning beep in the earpiece.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line until the handset is fully charged for 24 hours. The base must be plugged into the mains power at all times.

Location
You need to place your BT Zenith Flip within 2 metres of a mains power 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 Zenith Flip 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 mains power cable into the base.
Route the cable through the channel on the base. Plug the other end of the cable into the wall socket.
