WARNING

Do not place your BT Edge 2100 in the bathroom or other humid areas.

The BT Edge 2100 has a range of 300m 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 handset and the base, e.g. the base is indoors and the handsets is either indoors or outdoors, the range could be reduced to 50m. Thick stone walls will severely affect the range.

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 your handset is fully charged.

The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times.

Which socket?

BT Edge 2100 - Which socket? - 1

Power socket

Telephone line socket

Location

You need to place your BT Edge 2100 within 2 metres of the mains power socket 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 Edge 2100 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. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset ⏻. Slide the battery compartment into place Ⓗ.

7Getti

  1. Plug the mains power cord into the underside of the base and into the mains power. The green Power/In use light comes on.

Diagram showing a cable installation with an electrical outlet and internal wiring, labeled with 'Line' connection.

  1. Place the handset on the base to charge for at least 24 hours. The red Charging light comes on. When the handset is fully charged the display shows the symbol.

  2. After 24 hours, plug one end of the telephone line cord into your BT Edge 2100 base and the other end into the telephone wall socket.

The red Charging light stays on even when the batteries are fully charged.

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give about 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby time on a single charge.

BATTERY LOW WARNING

If the symbol is empty and flashing, and you hear a warning beep every 10 -15 seconds, you will need to recharge your handset before you can use it.

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 24 hour charge).

New NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days. Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible.

The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, so reducing the talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New batteries can be obtained from the BT Edge Helpline 0870 605 8047.

8 Getting started

Additionally, if you have purchased a BT Edge 2100 multiple pack.

For each additional handset and charger:

  1. Connect the power adaptor to the charger and switch on.

  2. Place the handset on the charger and charge for at least 24 hours. The red charging light will come on.
