Location
You need to place your BT Studio 3100 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 toavoid interference.
Your BT Studio 3100 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 the base and handset
1. Plug the power adaptor and telephone cable into the back of
the base.
BT Studio 3100 – Issue 1 – Edition 01 – 24.01.07 – 8004
WARNING
Do not place your BT Studio 3100 in
the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Studio 3100 has a range
of up to 300 metres outdoors when
there is a clear line of sight between
the base and handset. Any obstruction
between the base and handset will
reduce the range significantly.
With the base indoors and handset
either indoors or outdoors, the range
will normally be up to 50 metres.
Thick stone walls can severely affect
the range.
Signal strength
The icon on your handset display
indicates when you are in range of
the base. When it flashes and you
hear a warning beep, you are out of
range and will need to move closer
tothe base.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
cord to the telephone line wall socket
until the handset is fully charged.
Only use the telephone line
cordprovided.
The base station should be plugged
into the mains power socket at all
times.

the power on. When connected correctly, the green Power
light on the base comes on.
3. Insert the 2 x AAA rechargeable batteries supplied, taking
note of the polarity markings inside the battery
compartment, then slide the battery compartment shut.
4. Place the handset on the base to charge. You should let the
batteries charge continuously for at least 24 hours.
The batteries and case may become warm during charging,
this is normal.
5. Once fully charged, plug the telephone line cord into the
telephone wall socket.
Getting started
WARNING
Never use non-rechargeable
batteries. Only use the approved
batteries. Using unapproved batteries
will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 10 hours
30 minutes talk time or 160 hours
standby on a single charge. (This does
not mean you can unplug the base or
leave it for this length of time without
charge).
Please notethat new NiMH
rechargeable batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
See ‘Batteryperformance’ on the
following page.
Battery low warning
If the icon is flashing in the
display and you hear a warning beep
every minute during a call, you will
need to recharge your handset before
you can use it.

Getting started
Battery performance
To keep the batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off the
base for a few hours at a time.
Running the batteries right down at
leastonce a week will help them last
as long as possible.
After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging time
for the batteries is approximately
6–8 hours.
The charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as
they wear out, thus reducing the
talk/standby time. Eventually they
will need replacing.
New batteries are available from
the BT Studio Helpline on
0870 605 8047 or email
[email protected].
