Getting started
WARNING Do not place your BT Studio 3500 in the bathroom or other humid areas. Handset range The BT Studio 3500 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 to the 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 cord provided. The base station should be plugged into the mains power socket at all times.
Location You need to place your BT Studio 3500 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 to avoid interference. Your BT Studio 3500 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.

Page 7

2. Plug the power adaptor into the mains wall socket and switch 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.
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 note that new NiMH rechargeable batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days. See Battery performance on the following page.
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.

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.

Page 8

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 approximately 68 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 8047 or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com.
BT Studio 3500 multipack users only:
Place each BT Studio 3500 charger within reach of a mains power wall socket. Connect the charger(s) and charge the handset(s) i. Plug the mains power adaptor into the power socket on the underside of the charger and plug the other end to the mains power wall socket. ii. Insert the 2 x AAA rechargeable batteries supplied, taking note of the polarity markings inside the battery compartment, then slide the battery compartment shut. iii. Place the handset on the charger. You should let the batteries charge continuously for at least 24 hours. The display will show the time and the handset number e.g. 2 , to show it is registered to the base. Your phone is now set up to make and receive calls. Please note that the answering machine is already switched on and is ready to answer incoming calls. To switch the answering machine off press on the base. The machine announces Answer Off.
