Location

Your BT Elements phone comes with a base which

you will need to place within 2 metres of a mains power

socket and telephone socket so that the cables

will reach.

The charger can then be located wherever you want in your

house, provided it is within reach of a mains power socket.

The handset can be charged using the charger.

Make sure the base is at least 1 metre away from other

electrical appliances to avoid interference.

Your BT Elements phone 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. At the handset:

Make sure the battery ribbon is laying flat

inside the battery compartment and insert the 2 x AAA NiMH

rechargeable batteries supplied observing the polarity

markings (+ and -).

Handset range

The BT Elements phone has a range of

up to 1000 metres outdoors when

there is a clear line of sight between

the base and the handset. When there

is no clear line of sight between the

base and the handset, e.g. the base is

indoors and the handset either

indoors or outdoors, the range could

be reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone

walls can severely affect the range.

Signal strength

The icon on your handset indicat

when you are in range. When you

move out of range of the base, the

out of range tone will sound every

minute and the icon will flash on

the handset display. This is repeated

until you move back into range.

Talk/Standby time

In ideal conditions, fully charged

handset batteries should give about

10 hours talk time or 100 hours

standby time on a single charge. The

base must remain plugged in to the

mains and switched on at all times.

Please note that if you are using the

torch feature, the talk/standby times

will be r

educed.

Note that new batteries do not reach

full capacity until they have been in

normal use for several days.
