WARNING
Do not place your BT Studio 1100 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Studio 1100 has a range of 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and the handset. When there is no clear line of sight between the base and the handset, e.g. base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range could be reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The 
icon on your handset indicates when you are in range. When it flashes, you are out of range.
When you move out of range of the base, you will hear the out of range tone. This tone is repeated until you move back into range.
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power socket at all times.
Do not connect the telephone line until the handset is fully charged.
