Important – please read rst

• Only use the line cord, power

supply and rechargeable batteries

that come with your phone.

• Make sure the power supply is

connected to a socket that you

know works.

• Connect your phone to the power

supply and let the batteries charge

for 16 hours before connecting your

phone to the phone socket.

• The base should always be

plugged in to the mains

power supply.

Your Answer Machine

Make sure the phone is set to

Answer + Rec and that the ring

delay is set to answer before any

voicemail service does. The default

setting is ve rings. If you want to

change it, take a look at page 38.

Where to put your phone

To make sure your handset gives you

the best range and reception, avoid

interference by placing it away from

any large metal objects like fridge-

freezers, microwave ovens,

or electronic products such

as computers and TVs.

Quick set-up guide

Where to put your phone

• Place the base within 3 metres

of a mains power socket and 1.8

metres of a phone socket

so the cables will reach.

• Make sure it’s at least a metre

away from other electrical

appliances to avoid interference.

• Don’t place the phone or

base in a bathroom or other

humid area.

• The product works by sending

radio signals between the

handset and base. 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.

1. Plug in

1. Plug the mains power adaptor

into the base, with the cable clipped

in the groove provided.

2. Plug the other end of the power

adaptor into the wall power socket

and switch on.

The phone line cord is pre-installed

but don’t plug the other end into

the wall socket yet.

Important

• Don’t connect the phone line to

a phone socket until the handset is

fully charged.

• The base station should be

plugged into the mains power

socket all the time.

1. Activate the batteries by

pulling the plastic tab away from

the handset.

2. The handset will then check for

a link with the base station. When

it’s found it, follow the prompt to

set the date and time on the phone.

Place the handset on the base and

let it charge for 16 hours.

3. After 16 hours, plug the phone

line cord into the phone wall socket.

Tip

It’s a good idea to set the date and

time now, see page 49.

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, the

handset batteries should

give up to 12 hours talk time

or 120 hours standby on a

single charge. (This doesn’t

mean you can unplug the

base or leave the handset

for this length of time

without charge).

Please note that new Ni-MH

rechargeable batteries don’t

reach full capacity until

they’ve been in normal use

for several days.

Battery low warning

You will hear a warning beep

every 2 minutes during a call

and the icon will ash.

You must recharge the

handset batteries before you

can use the handset. If the

charge completely runs out

the handset will switch o.

Place the handset on the base

or charger to charge.

Rechargeable batteries

already fitted

Remove this tab

and charge batteries

for 16 hours before use.

2. Charge

Quick set-up guide

Set up for additional handsets

(multipacks only)

1. Plug the mains power adaptor

into the underside of the charger

and plug the other end into the

mains wall socket and switch on

the power.

2. Activate the batteries as

explained on page 5.

3. Place the handset on the charger

to charge for 16 hours.

Battery performance

• To keep the batteries in

the best condition, leave the

handset o 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.

• After charging your handset

for the rst time, subsequent

charging time for the batteries

is approximately 8 hours.

• The charge capacity of

rechargeable batteries will go

down over time, which will

reduce the talk and standby

time. Eventually they’ll need

replacing. For details on how

to get replacement batteries,

call Discom on 0800

9808 999*.

Using your Essential Phone

on a line with broadband?

To avoid problems with your

broadband or noise on your

phone line, you might need to

plug your telephone line cord

into the wall socket via

a microlter (not supplied).

If your main phone socket has

a single socket, you do need to

use microlters, like this:

You’ll need a microlter for

every phone socket where

you’ve got equipment plugged

in – up to a maximum of four

per line – including alarm

sytems and digital TV boxes.

You can get BT ADSL micro

lters from bt.com/shop

You don’t need to use

microlters if your main

phone socket has two

separate sockets, like these:
