6Getting started
WARNING
Do not place your BT Studio 3500 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Studio 3500 has a range of up to 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 
icon on your handset display indicates when you are in range of the base. When it flashes and you hear a warning beep, you are out of range and will need to move closer to the base.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line cord to the telephone line wall socket until the handset is fully charged.
Only use the telephone line cord provided.
The base station should be plugged into the mains power socket at all times.
Location
You need to place your BT Studio 3500 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 Studio 3500 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 can help to provide the best signal.
Setting up the base and handset
1.Plug the power adaptor and telephone cable into the back of the base.
