Location
Place your BT Verve 450 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 450 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 into the socket marked on the underside of the base and plug the other end into the mains power wall socket and switch the power on. You can place the cable behind the retaining clip to prevent the plug being accidentally pulled from the socket.
WARNING
Do not place your BT Verve 450 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Verve 450 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 icon on your handset indicates when you are in range. If moving out of range of the base, the range indicator will flash. If you go out of range, any call you are on will be lost.
Which power adaptor?
If you have purchased a multiple pack, you should use the power adaptor with the smallest plug for the base.
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.
