1 Getting started
Place your BT Graphite 1500 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 Graphite 1500 works by sending radio signals between the handset and the base.
The strength of the handset signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as high as
possible can help provide the best signal.
The handset range is up to 300m outdoors and 50m indoors (in ideal conditions). The icon
in the handset display will flash and you hear a warning beep when you go out of range.

cables into the back of the base. Only use
the cables provided with the product.
