Location
You need to place your BT9500 base 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 unit 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 best signal.
Handset range
The BT9500 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. With the
base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will
normally be up to 50 metres. Thick concrete walls can severely
affect the range.
Connect the Base Station
1) Plug the power supply and the line cord into the base station.
2) Plug the mains adapter & line cord into the wall socket.
3) Always use the cables provided in the box.
Signal strength
The
HANDSET 1
06/09 13:35
icon on your handset indicates when you are in range.
When out of range of the base, the screen shows SEARCHING the
HANDSET 1
06/09 13:35
icon flashes and the handset gives an out-of-range warning
tone every minute. This tone is repeated until you move back into
range.
NOTE:
The base unit needs mains power for normal operation, not just for charging
the handset batteries.
Do not install close to another telephone or other electrical equipment - this
can cause interference.
