Safety information
General
Only use the power supply included with the product. Using
an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone. The item number for the mains
power supply is 872101.
Do not open the handset or base station. This could expose you
to high voltages or other risks. Contact the helpline for all repairs.
Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base may
cause interference to hearing aids.
It is recommended that advice from a qualified expert be sought
before using this product in the vicinity of emergency/intensive
care medical equipment.
It is recommended that if you have a pacemaker fitted you check
with a medical expert before using this product.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of
explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.
Cleaning
Simply clean the handset and base station with a damp
(not wet) cloth, or an antistatic wipe. Never use household
polish as this will damage the product. Never use a dry cloth
as this may cause a static shock.
Environmental
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
The product may heat up when the batteries are being
recharged. This is normal. However, we recommend that you
do not place the product on antique/veneered wood to avoid
damage.
Do not stand your product on carpets or other surfaces which
generate fibres, or place it in locations preventing free flow of
air over its surfaces.
Do not submerge any part of your product in water and
do not use it in damp or humid conditions, such as in
bathrooms.
Do not expose your product to fire, explosive or other
hazardous conditions.
There is a slight chance that your phone could be damaged by
an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug the power
and telephone line cord for the duration of the storm.

5
On-Air 2250 Classic ~ 5th Edition ~ 4th July ’02 ~ 4503
Setting up
Please note that your handset is already
registered to the base station.
Situate your product close enough to the
telephone and mains power sockets so that the
cables will reach. The only way to disconnect
the product from the power supply is to remove
the power adaptor from the mains power socket.
Therefore you must ensure you plan the location
so that the mains power is easily accessed.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical products to avoid interference.
Do not situate the product in the bathroom or
other humid areas.
Once connected, put the plinth back on the
base to prevent it from rocking on the table.
There are two positions for the plinth when
joining it to the base, both can be used for desk
mounting and one for wall mounting. Position
Ais for desk mounting only and position Bis for
desk or wall mounting (see Wall mounting on
page 36).
Rubber feet
Hold the black plastic square between thumb
and forefinger and peel off individual feet from
backing sheet as shown. These are to stop your
base from moving and to protect your work
surface.
If you decide on position B, place 2 of the
rubber feet on the plinth and 2 on the base.
Plan the location
1Connect the power supply an
switch on.
WARNING
Please take care that the power supply and
telephone line cord are connected to the
correct sockets as incorrect placement could
damage your equipment.
BA
Important
You must thread the power supply cable into
the socket on the underside of your base. The
power cable connector and socket are
coloured red.

WARNING
Do not connect the telephone line cord to the
phone socket until your handset is fully charged.
This will prevent the risk of the phone being
answered before the battery is charged.
Answering the phone before the battery is fully
charged may prevent it from reaching its
optimum capacity.
2Charge the battery in the
han set for at least 16 hours
WARNING
Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use
the approved batteries. Using unapproved
batteries will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
Under ideal conditions the battery should give
about 10 hours talk time and 120 hours
standby when the batteries have been fully
charged.
Fully discharging the batteries at least
once a week will help them to last as long as
possible. However, 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 Helpline on 08 0 240 4682.
When the battery has been charged for at least
16 hours the display will show the symbol;
you can then connect the telephone line cord to
the base.

Battery performance

are first installed. The batteries must first be
fully charged.
Battery low warning
If the handset battery symbol is empty and you
hear warning beeps, you will need to recharge
your handset before you can use it.
Helpline
If you are experiencing difficulty, please call
the BT On-Air Helpline on 08 0 240 4682.
Plug the power adaptor into the wall socket and
switch on. When the power is switched on, the
button on your base will light up.
