Cannot register a handset to a base
• You can register a total of 5 handsets to your BT Inspire 1500 base and you can register your BT
Inspire 1500 handset to up to 4 bases. Check that you have not exceeded the limits.
• Check that you have entered the correct system PIN number (default PIN 0000).
• Check that you are at least one metre away from other electrical equipment to avoid interference
when registering.
Base unit does not ring, but the lights are on
• Have you connected the telephone line to the telephone wall socket correctly?
• You must use the telephone line cord supplied with the product otherwise the phone
may not work.
• Is the base ringer set to off ?
• You may have a faulty line or socket. Try using another socket or line. Call BT on 151 if you still
experience problems.
Buzzing noise on my phone or on other electrical equipment nearby
• Sometimes your BT Inspire 1500 can interfere with other electrical equipment if it is placed
too close. It is recommended that you place your BT Inspire 1500 at least one metre away from
electrical appliances or metal obstructions to avoid any risk of interference.
• Are you using your Inspire 1500 on a Broadband line? If you are, then please ensure that it
is connected via an ADSL microfilter otherwise it may cause problems with your phone and
Broadband service. BT ADSL microfilters can be purchased from www.shop.bt.com
You keep hearing a beep
• You have pressed the wrong button in a sequence. Check the prompts in the display or refer to
instructions in this user guide.
• The New Call alert might be switched on. The default setting is Off but if you have switched this
feature On, then your handset will beep when a missed call is received in your Calls list. See page
30 if you want to switch this feature Off.
• The beeping might be a new text message alert. Check if you have received a new text message
and not viewed it yet, see page 43. This alert can be switched Off, see page 45.
• Your battery may be low. Please refer to the battery icons on page 9 and check against the icons
on your handset display. If your battery is low, you will need to place the handset on the base to
charge it.
• You may be hearing an error tone. If you press and hold a handset button that does not have
a dual-function associated with it i.e. the BT button, then a long press will emit an error tone
(providing the handset key tone is set to on) and will not open the BT menu. A long press and
hold is only used for dual-function buttons i.e. a speed dial and keylock button etc, when the
dual-function will respond and there will be no error tone.
