WARNING
Do not place your BT Calypso
1100 in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
Handset range
The handset reception range from
the base is up to 300m outdoors
and up to 50m indoors. Thick walls
can severely affect the range.
Range indicator
The symbol on your handset
display indicates when you are in
range of the base. If the symbol
flashes and you hear a warning
beep, you are out of range and will
need to move closer to the base.
Location
You need to place your BT Calypso 1100 within metres
of a mains power 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 Calypso 1100 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 can help to provide the best signal.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cable into the base. Then plug the
power adaptor into the mains wall socket and switch the
power on. The Power indicator ( ) on the base lights up.
BT Calypso 1100 – Edition 04 – 01.1 .03 – 5766
Getting started6
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until at least one of the handsets is
fully charged.
The base must be plugged into the
mains power at all times.

Battery low warning
When the battery charge is low the
handset battery icon will be empty
and flashing. Place the handset
back on the base to recharge.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully
charged handset batteries should
give up to 10 hours talktime or
100 hours standby on a single
charge. See ‘Battery performance’
on the following page.
. Remove the battery compartment cover and insert the
x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset.
Slide the battery compartment cover back into place.
3. Charge the handset for at least 4 hours by placing it
on the base. The red Charging indicator on the base

5766 Calypso 1100 UG [4] 01/12/03 11:09 Page 7

Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best
conditions, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time
(after the initial 16 hour charge).
Please note however, that 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 Calypso
Helpline 0870 605 8047.
4. After 4 hours, plug the telephone line cord into your BT
Calypso 1100 base and the other end into the wall socket.
Set the day and time
If you have subscribed to your network’s Caller Display
service, the time and date will be set automatically when you
receive your first call. You can also set the time manually.
1. On the handset, press Menu. Press to scroll down to
Time settings and press OK. Scroll to Set Time &
Date
and press OK.
. Enter the date, e.g. 16 04 for 16th April. Press OK.
3. Enter the time, e.g. 09 30 for 9:30am. Press OK.
This overwrites the current setting. If you make a mistake
press Back to delete. Press OK.
4. Press and hold Back to return to standby.
Your T Calypso 1100 is now ready for use.
