Where to put your

headset base

• Make sure it’s at least a

metre away from other

electrical appliances to

avoid interference.

• Don’t place in a bathroom

or other humid area or near

excessive heat sources,

moisture, low temperatures

or dust sources.

• Don’t place near noise

sources such as a window

with trafﬁc outside,

motors, microwave ovens,

refrigerators or ﬂuorescent

lighting.

• The product works by

sending radio signals

between the base and the

headset. The strength of the

signal depends on where you

position the base. Putting it

as high as possible can help

give you the best signal.

IMPORTANT

Don’t try to make calls until

the headset battery is fully

charged.

1 Plug in

1. Plug the mains power

adaptor into the

socket marked

Power on the back

of the base.

2. Plug the other end

into the wall power

socket and switch on.

If you need some help, call us on 0800 218 2182* or go to bt.com/producthelp

Quick set-up guide 5

The base should be plugged

into the mains power socket at

all times.

The battery is permanently

attached to the battery

compartment cover (known as

the battery pack). Do not try

to separate them from each

other.

Only use the supplied

rechargeable battery

pack otherwise you may

damage your product. For a

replacement battery pack,

please call the Helpline on

0800 218 2182*.

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, the

headset battery should give

up to 8 hours of talk time or

115hrs standby on a single

charge. (This doesn’t mean you

can unplug the base or leave

the headset for this length of

time without charge). When

the headset is not in use ,

recharge it by mounting it on

the headset base.

Please note that new

rechargeable batteries don’t

reach full capacity until they’ve

been in normal use for several

days.

Battery low warning

The red light on the top of

the headset will ﬂash every

10 seconds when the headset

is not mounted on the base

to indicate that the battery is

low. If the battery completely

runs out the light will turn off

altogether. You must recharge

the battery by mounting the

headset on the base before

you can use the headset again.

Battery performance

To keep the battery in the best

condition, leave the headset

off the base for a few hours at

a time.

Running the batteries right

down at least once a week

will help them last as long as

possible.

3 Charge

1. Insert the headset into the magnetic charging

mount on the base and leave to charge for at least

3 hours before use. The light will illuminate red

to indicate that the battery is charging.

If you ever need to remove the battery pack,

simply insert your ﬁngernail into the grooves on

the side and pull the battery pack out.

4 Connect the headset base

You can use your headset to receive calls through

your telephone line with or without connecting it

to a phone. However, to make a call you will need

to connect to a phone ﬁrst. You can also connect

to a computer to make and receive VoIP calls.

After charging your headset

for the ﬁrst time, subsequent

charging time for the battery is

approximately 2 hours.

The charge capacity of

rechargeable batteries will go

down over time, which will

reduce the talk and standby

times. Eventually they’ll

need replacing. For details

on how to get a replacement

battery, call the Helpline on

0800 218 2182*. Before

removing the battery pack

for replacement, remove any

headset attachment (earbud

excluded) ﬁrst.
