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.
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 BTEdge 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 .
21
Getting started 6
Which socket?
Power socket
Telephone line socket
Line
1 2

2. Plug the mains power cord into the underside of the base
and into the mains power.
The green Power/In use light comes on.
3. 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.
4. 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.
7Getting started
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.
