Location
You need to place your BT Esprit 1250 base close
enough to a mains power 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 Esprit 1250 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.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power adaptor into the power socket on
the underside of the base. Plug the other end into the
mains socket and switch on. The Power/In Use indicator
lights up.

WARNING
Do not place your BT Esprit 1250
in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
Handset range
The BT Esprit 1250 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
symbol on your handset
screen indicates when you are in
range. When you are out of
range, it flashes and
Searching
is displayed.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until at least one of the handsets is
fully charged.
The base must be plugged into the
mains power at all times.
