Location
You need to place your BT Verve 500 within 2 metres of the mains 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 Verve 500 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 cord into the round socket on the back of the base and connect the other end to the mains power wall socket. When correctly connected the red message counter will illuminate.
2.Remove the battery compartment cover, by sliding it downward and lifting off.
WARNING
Do not place your BT Verve 500 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Verve 500 has a range of 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 
on your handset indicates when you are in range.
When you move out of range of the base the 
icon will flash and the out of range tone (2 beeps) will sound. This tone is repeated until you move back into range. If you do not move back into range you risk your call being disconnected.
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. Only use the power and telephone cables supplied with the product.
