WARNING
Do not place your BT Lyric 1100 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The handset reception range from the base is up to 300m outdoors and up to 50m indoors.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset indicates when you are in range. When you are out of range a beep will sound every minute.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line until the handset is fully charged.
The base station must be plugged into the mains power socket at all times.
Which socket?

Power socket

Telephone line socket
Location
You need to place your BT Lyric 1100 close enough to a mains power 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 Lyric 1100 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
- Plug the power adaptor and telephone cables into the underside of the base.

natural_image
Diagram of a device rear panel with two Ethernet ports and two cables (no text or labels)- Plug the power adaptor into the mains wall socket and switch the power on. The green Power light on the base comes on.
- Install the 2 x NiMH AAA batteries supplied. Then slide the battery compartment cover into place.

natural_image
Line drawing of a handheld electronic device with battery and cylindrical housing (no text or symbols)- Charge the handset for at least 16 hours by placing the handset on the base. The red Charging light comes on. The handset is pre-registered to the base as BT Lyric. This is shown in the display.
- After 16 hours charging, plug the telephone line cord into the wall socket.
Your BT Lyric 1100 is ready for use.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give about 14 hours talk time or 350 hours standby on a single charge. (The base must still remain plugged in to the mains and switched on at all times.)
Please note that new NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.
Battery low warning

When the handset battery symbol is empty and flashing, and there is a warning beep every 10 seconds, you will need to recharge the handset before using it.
See 'Battery performance' on the following page.
8 Getting started
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge). 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 is about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, giving the handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New batteries are available from the BT Lyric 1100 Helpline on 0870 605 8047.

Some internal switchboards may require you to enter an access code (e.g. 9) to get an outside line. So that the switchboard has time to pick up an outside line, you may also need to add a pause after the access code.
To insert an access code followed by a pause
If you use your phone with two separate switchboards you can set up two separate access codes. Then you can simply select which switchboard you are using your phone with.
This feature can also automatically insert a pause between the access code and the phone number stored in the Phonebook.
