Location
Place your BT Verve 410 within 2 metres of the mains power
socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.
Your BT Verve 410 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 bestsignal. Makesure it is at least 1 metre away from
other electrical appliances toavoid interference.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power adaptor into the socket marked on
the underside of the base and plug the other end intothe
wall socket and switch it on.
You can place the cable behind the retaining clip to prevent
the plug being accidentally pulled from the socket.
Getting started 7
WARNING
Do not place your BT Verve 410 in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Verve 410 has a range of 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 indicates
when you are in range. If moving out
of range of the base, the range
indicator will flash. If you go out of
range, any call you are on will be lost.
Which power adaptor?
If you have purchased a multiple pack,
you should use the power adaptor with
the smallestplug for the base.
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into
the mains power socket at all times.
Do not connect the telephone line
until the handset is fully charged.
Only use the power and telephone
cables supplied with the product.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0800 218 2182* or email [email protected]

Battery low warning
If the icon flashes in the handset
display you will need to recharge the
handset before you can use it again.
You also hear a low battery warning
beep once every 60 seconds.
During charging, the icon will scroll
in the display.
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, a fully charged
battery should give up to 10 hours talk
time or 100 hours standby time on a
single charge.
Note that new batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
To keep the battery in the best
condition, leave the handset off the
base for a few hours at a time.
Running the battery right down at
leastonce a week will help it last as
long as possible.
The charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, giving the handset less
talk/standby time. Eventually they will
need to be replaced. New batteries are
available from the BT Verve 410
Helpline on 0800 218 2182*.
After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging time is
about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and
handset may become warm during
charging. This is normal.
2. The NiMH battery is already fitted in the handset. Remove the
battery compartment cover, by sliding it downward and lifting
it off.
Locate the battery lead and connector and plug it into the
socket inside the battery compartment (the red wire should be
on the left). Tuck the battery leads in the space above the
battery and slide the battery compartment cover back on.
3. Place the handset on the base tocharge for at least 20 hours.
When the handset is fully charged the icon will be displayed.
4. When the battery is fully charged, plug one end of the
telephone line cord into the socket marked on the rear of
the base and the other end intothe telephone wall socket.
Setting up for multiple packs
If you have purchased a BT Verve 410 multiple pack, you will
need to prepare any additional handsets and chargers for use.
For each additional handset and charger:
1. Insert the cable through the channel at the rear of the charger
and insertthe plug intothe power socket. Plug the other end
into the mains wall power socket and switch on.
