Getting started 7
Location
You need to place your T Paragon 550 close enough to a mains
power and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.
Setting up
1. Attach the desk mounting plinth. The telephone line cord is
pre-installed but make sure you route the cable through the
grooves in the plinth. Do not route the line cord under the
plinth as you could damage it.
2. Connect the longer straight end of the curly handset cord into
the base. Connect the other end of the cord to the handset.
3. Plug the mains power adaptor into the power socket on the
underside of the base. Plug the other end into the mains
socket and switch the power on. The display lights up.
WARNIN
Do not place your T Paragon 550 in
the bathroom or other humid areas.
IMPORTANT
The T Paragon 550 will still be able
to take and receive calls during
power failure as long as the
telephone line cord is still plugged in.
Full functionality will of course
be limited.
Using your BT Paragon 550 on a
Broadband line?
If this product is to be used on a
broadband line then you must ensure
that it is connected via an ADSL
microfilter. Using this product on a
roadband line without an ADSL
microfilter may cause problems with
this product and your roadband
service.
Additional T ADSL microfilters can be
purchased from www.shop.bt.com
Hearing aid wearers may benefit
from switching their hearing aid to the
middle T position and holding the
earpiece up to the aid not their ear.
If you experience poor speech quality
or interference, make sure the product
is not located too close to other
electrical appliances.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0800 218 2182* or email [e-mail]

Cord channel for power supply cord

4. Plug the end of the telephone line cord into the telephone
wall socket.
5. Press the line cables into the grooves on the base of the phone
so that the phone can lie flat.
Providing you have subscribed to your network’s Caller Display
service, the day and time is automatically set when you
receive your first incoming call.
However, you can also set the day and time manually, see page 39.
Your Paragon 550 is now ready for use.
