Important – please read first

• Only use the line cord, power supply and rechargeable batteries that come with your phone.
• Make sure the power supply is connected to a socket that you know works.
• Connect your phone to the power supply and let the batteries charge for 16 hours before connecting your phone to the phone socket.
• The base should always be plugged in to the mains power supply.

Your Answer Machine

Make sure the phone is set to Answer + Rec and that the ring delay is set to answer before any voicemail service does. The default setting is five rings. If you want to change it, take a look at page 41.

Where to put your phone

To make sure your handset gives you the best range and reception, avoid interference by placing it away from any large metal objects like fridge-freezers, microwave ovens, or electronic products such as computers and TVs.

Check the box contents

Handset Base

Phone line (this comes already installed)

Mains power adaptor (item code 066270)

Two rechargeable batteries, AAA NiMH 550mAh (already installed in the handset)

If you bought more than one handset you'll also get

Charger Mains power adaptor (item code 066270)

Two rechargeable batteries, AAA NiMH 550mAh (already installed in the handset)

IMPORTANT

Only use the mains power adaptors, cables and rechargeable batteries supplied in this box or this product might not work. Any replacement rechargeable batteries must be of the same type. BT accepts no responsibility for damage caused to your BT2700 if you use any other type of batteries.

Quick set-up guide

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.

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.

1 Plug in

1. Your phone will come with the phone line cord already fitted. Plug the other end into the wall socket.
2. Plug the mains power adaptor into the base, with the cable clipped in the groove provided.
3. Plug the other end of the power adaptor into the wall power socket and switch it on.

2 Charge

1. Activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab away from the bottom of the handset.
2. The handset will then check for a link with the base station. When it's found it, follow the prompt to set the date and time on the phone.
3. Place the handset on the base and let it charge for 16 hours.

IMPORTANT

Charge the handset batteries for 16 hours or your phone might not work.

Set up your additional handsets (multipacks only)

1. For additional handsets and chargers: plug the mains power adaptor into the underside of the charger and plug the other end into the mains wall socket and switch on the power.

Already fitted Next-generation batteries ↓ PULL ↓ Remove this tab for 10 hours before use.

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.

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 145 6789*.

Using your BT2700 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:

Illustration of a white USB device connected to a separate rectangular socket (no text or symbols visible)

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:
