Do not submerge any part of your product in water and
do not use it in damp or humid conditions, such as in
bathrooms.

11
BT Studio ~ 7th Edition ~ 14th May ’02 ~ 4408
Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your BT Studio ready for use.
Plan the location
Situate your product close enough to the telephone and
mains power supply sockets so that the cables will reach.
Make sure the product is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical products to avoid interference.
Do not place your BT Studio in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
1Connect the power supply cable
Plug the power supply cable into the power socket
on your BT Studio base station (Item number
872260). The power light on the base will
come on.
Plug the power supply adaptor into
the wall socket

12
BT Studio ~ 7th Edition ~ 14th May ’02 ~ 4408
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 batteries are
charged. Answering the phone before the batteries are fully
charged may prevent it from reaching its optimum capacity.
3Insert the batteries
Insert the two batteries supplied, as indicated on
the markings inside the battery compartment and
slide the battery compartment shut. The handset
display will show . This means one handset is
registered to the base. If you have purchased the
BT Studio Twin the handset will show -2- . See
page 15.

13
BT Studio ~ 7th Edition ~ 14th May ’02 ~ 4408
Warning
Under no circumstances should NiCad or non-rechargeable
batteries be used. Only use the approved batteries. Using
unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
IMPORTANT
The handset must always be placed on the base
face up. The base station must be plugged into
the mains power socket at all times.
4Charge the handset batteries for at
least 16 hours
Before you use your BT Studio for the first time
it is important to have the handset batteries fully
charged. Place the handset on the base station.
You will hear a long beep. The red charging light
on the base will come on and the battery and
charging icon will be displayed. Leave the
handset to charge continuously for at least 16
hours to reach full charge.
The handset comes pre-registered but the icon
will flash to indicate that the handset is linking
up with the base. Once link up is successful the
icon will stop flashing and remain steady.
Once the handset is fully charged, the charging
icon will be switched off.

14
BT Studio ~ 7th Edition ~ 14th May ’02 ~ 4408
Battery levels
Battery low warning
If the handset battery symbol is empty, you will hear a
warning beep every 1 minute, you will need to recharge
your handset before you can use it. The handset will
only beep every minute when it is in use. In idle mode
the empty battery icon is displayed.
Out of range warning
When the handset is in use and you go out of range of
the base it will beep every 1 minute and the icon
will flash. Move closer to the base station.
Signal Strength
The BT Studio and BT Studio Twin have a range of up
to 300 metres outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors.
This is in ideal conditions.
Battery performance
Fully discharging the batteries at least once a week will
help them 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 BT Studio
Helpline 0 706 05 047.
Note: Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should
give about 14 hours talktime or 350 hours standby on a
single charge. Optimum times for talk and standby are
only achieved when the handset batteries are fully
charged.
