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.

• 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.

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.

handset batteries should give

up to 12 hours talk time or

120 hours standby on a

single 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 performance

• To keep the batteries in the

best condition, leave the

handset 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.

• After charging your handset

for the ﬁrst 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 the helpline on

0800 218 2182*.

3. Once set-up is complete your handset will display

Using your BT1600 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

microﬁlter (not supplied).

If your main phone

socket has a single

socket, you do need

to use microﬁlters,

like this:

You’ll need a microﬁlter 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 ﬁlters

from bt.com/shop

You don’t need to use microﬁlters

if your main phone socket has

two separate sockets, like these:

* Calls made from within the UK mainland network are free.

Mobile and international call costs may vary.
