WARNING
Do not place your BT Glide in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Glide 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
When you are out of range of the BT Glide base, you will hear a warning beep in the earpiece.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line until the handset is fully charged for 24 hours. The base must be plugged into the mains power at all times.
Location
You need to place your BT Glide 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 Glide 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. The Power light comes on.
