Quick set-up guide
Where to put your phone
• Place the base within
2 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.
1. Plug in
1. Plug the mains power adaptor
into the base, with the cable clipped
in the groove provided.
2. Plug the other end of the power
adaptor into the wall power socket
and switch on.
The phone line cord is pre-installed
but don’t plug the other end into
the wall socket yet.
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.Slideothebatterycoverfrom
the back of the handset and insert
the two batteries supplied. Note the
‘+’ and ‘-’ markings inside the
battery compartment. Then slide
the battery cover back into place.
2. The handset will check for a link
with the base station. Once found,
you’ll need to set the time and date,
but you can then press the [back]
button to skip any further options
until setup is complete (you can
always set these up later).
3. Place the handset on the base
and leave to charge for 16 hours.
Important
Charge the handset batteries for
16 hours or your phone might
not work.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the
handset batteries should give
up to 10 hours talk time or
100 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
Battery low warning

Battery performance
• To keep the batteries in
the best condition, leave the
handseto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rst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 Discom on 0800
9808 999*.

Using your BT3660 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
microlter(notsupplied).

a single socket, you do need

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.

ltersfrombt.com/shop
