Warning
Do not place your BT Studio Plus
5100 in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
Handset range
The BT Studio Plus 5100 has a range
of 300 metres outdoors when there is
a clear line of sight between the base
and the 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,
the symbol flashes, and the
screen displays
Searching
.
You should move closer to the base
if this happens to ensure the full
functionality of your phone.
Important
Do not connect the telephone line
until at least one of the handsets is
fully charged.
The base station must be plugged
into the mains power at all times.
Which socket?

Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully charged
handset batteries should give about
10 hours talk time or 100 hours
standby time on a single charge.
Getting started
Location
You need to place your BT Studio Plus 5100 base within
2 metres of 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 Studio Plus 5100 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.
