Getting started

Location

You need to place your BT Studio 4500 base 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 Studio 4500 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 with the blue ring on the connector (item code 048611) into the power socket marked on the back of the base and secure the cable behind the retaining clip. Plug the other end into the mains socket and switch on.

Warning

Do not place your BT Studio 4500 in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Handset range

The BT Studio 4500 has a range of 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and the 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 symbol on your handset screen indicates when you are in range. When you are out of range, the symbol flashes, and the screen displays Searching.

You should move closer to the base if this happens to ensure the full functionality of your phone.

Important

Do not connect the telephone line until at least one of the handsets is fully charged.

The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times.

Which socket?

: Power socket

: Telephone line socket

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give about 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby time on a single charge.
