WARNING
Do not place your BT Aqua in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Aqua 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. When out of
range of the base, the out-of-range
tone will sound every minute. This
tone is repeated until you move back
into range.
Which power adaptor?	1.
The larger mains power adaptor is for	1.
the large base unit and the smaller one
is for the charger unit.
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into
the mains power at all times. Do not
connect the telephone line cord into
the wall socket until the handset is
fully charged. Only use the power and
telephone cables supplied with the
product.

Location

You need to place your BT Aqua base 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 Aqua 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.

To wall mount your BT Aqua base, see Wall Mounting template, page 87.
