Important – please read rst
• Only use the line cord, power
supply and rechargeable batteries
that come with your phone.
• Make sure the power supply is
connected to a socket that you
know works.
• Connect your phone to the power
supply and let the batteries charge
for 16 hours before connecting your
phone to the phone socket.
• The base should always be
plugged in to the mains
power supply.
What is BT Call Blocking?
BT Call Blocking puts you back
in control by allowing you to
choose the calls you want to take
and those you want to block. This
means that any caller not on your
contact list or already blocked is
required to announce their name
prior to getting through, allowing
you to choose which calls to accept
or reject.
• If you turn BT Call Blocking o, all
calls will be allowed through, even if
they’re already on your blocked list.
See page 25 to change settings.
• You can customise BT Call Blocking
to block certain types of call e.g.
International, Number Withheld etc.
See page 27 to change settings.
• It’s advisable that you don’t use
BT1571 if you’re using BT Call
Blocking. If you’re not using BT
Call Blocking, and you want to
use BT1571 or another voicemail
service, then make sure the ring
delay is set for your answer machine
to answer before the voicemail
service. For BT1571, don’t set the
ring delay to more than 5 rings. See
page 38 to set the ring delay.
• Make sure you always add the full
telephone number when you save
a contact. If you have important
numbers that will always need to
get through e.g. doctors surgery,
National Floodline, Carer Line
numbers etc, make sure you’ve
added them to your Contacts or
Allowed list.
The Premium Phone with 100%
nuisance call blocking and mobile
sync, powered by trueCall’s award
winning technology, oers you
complete control over the calls you
want to take and those you
wish to block.

Quick set-up guide
Where to put your phone
• Place the base within 3 metres
of a mains power socket and 3
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.
2. Plug the other end into your wall
socket and switch it on.
3. The phone line cord is already
tted, 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.

Using your Premium Phone
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).
If your main phone socket has
a single socket, you do need
to use microlters, like this:
You’ll need a microlter for
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.
You can get BT ADSL micro
lters from bt.com/shop
You don’t need to use
microlters if your main
phone socket has two
separate sockets, like
these:
