Important – please read first
• Only use the line cord, power supplies
and battery supplied with your BT Home
SmartPhone.
• Make sure the power supply is connected to
a socket that you know is working.
• Connect your phone to the power supply
and allow the batteries to charge for 16
hours before you connect the line cord to
your telephone socket.
Where to put your phone
• Place the base close to a mains power socket
and a phone socket so the cables will reach.
• Don’t place the phone or base in a bathroom
or other humid area.
• To make sure you get the best range
and reception from your handset, avoid
interference by placing the base unit away
from large metal objects (such as fridge
freezers and microwave ovens) and electrical
appliances (such as computers and TVs).
• Your phone 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.
IMPORTANT
• Don’t connect the phone line to a phone
socket until the handset is fully charged.
• You should keep the base station plugged
into the mains power socket all the time.
Answer phone – handy hint
Make sure you set the telephone to Answer &
Record, and the Ring delay to answer before
any voicemail service (BT Answer 1571 or
similar). The default setting is five rings. If you
want to change this, please see page 25.

Batteries
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries
should give up to 8 hours of talk time or 80
hours on standby on a single charge. (This
doesn’t mean you can unplug the base or leave
the handset without charging it for this long).
Please note that new Li-on rechargeable
batteries don’t reach full capacity until they’ve
been in normal use for several days.
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 least
once 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 about six hours.
• The charge capacity of the rechargeable
battery will go down over time, which will
reduce your phone’s talk and standby time.
Eventually it will need replacing. For details
on how to get a replacement battery, call
the helpline on 0808 100 9889*.
Battery low warning
When the handset needs recharging, the icon
will flash, you’ll see the message Battery low
in the display and you’ll hear a warning beep
every minute. You can remove the display
message by selecting Hide. If the battery
charge completely runs out, the display will
show Batteries flat. Please charge. and the
handset will switch off. You’ll need to recharge
the handset batteries before you can use
the handset. Place it back on the charger or
connect the usb cable.
If you ever need to remove the battery,
carefully remove the rear case by using the slot
at the bottom of the handset and then gently
working the cover off around the edges.
Using your BT Home SmartPhone on a
broadband line?
If so, you need to fit an ADSL microfilter
between the phone line cord and the phone
socket. You can get BT ADSL microfilters from
bt.com/shop. If you use BT Infinity, you won’t
need to use an ADSL microfilter. For other
types of broadband, please check with your
provider if you need to fit a microfilter.
Help
Most problems can be fixed with a few simple
checks, or you might find the answer in the
Help section on page 54 of this guide or our
online frequently asked questions at bt.com/
producthelp. Or call the Helpline on 0808
100 9889*. If you want to replace the battery
please replace it with similar type, they are
available from Helpline.
* Calls made from within the UK mainland
network are free. Mobile and international
call costs may vary. Our dedicated advisors
