WARNING
Do not place your BT Glide in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Glide 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
When you are out of range of
the BT Glide base, you will hear
a warning beep in the earpiece.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone
line until the handset is fully
charged for 24 hours. The base
must be plugged into the mains
power at all times.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047

Location

You need to place your BT Glide 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 Glide 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 cable into the socket marked
on the underside of the base. The Power light
comes on.
Power
adaptor
cable
Route the cable through the channel on the base.
Plug the other end of the adaptor into the wall
socket and switch the power on.
