British Telecom Everyday Phone D93BWS00 - Plug in - 1

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 power socket all the time.

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.

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 flash.

You must recharge the handset batteries before you can use the handset. If the charge completely runs out the handset will switch off. Place the handset on the base or charger to charge.

Alternative arrangements should be made for access to emergency services.

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*.

Using your Everyday 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 microfilter (not supplied).

If your main phone socket has a single socket, you do need to use microfilters, like this:

British Telecom Everyday Phone D93BWS00 - Using your Everyday Phone on a line with broadband? - 1

natural_image Diagram of a device with an attached rectangular socket connected to a USB cable (no text or symbols present)

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:

Answer & Record

The pre-recorded Answer & Record outgoing message that allows your caller to leave a message is, “Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment, so please leave your message after the tone”.

Answer Only

The pre-record Answer Only outgoing message, where callers hear an announcement but can't leave a message, is "Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment and you cannot leave a message, so please call later".

Technical details How many phones can I have?

Your Everyday Phone has a REN of 1. A total REN of 4 is allowed. If the total REN of 4 is exceeded, the telephones may not ring. With different telephone types there is no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is less than 4.
