Getting started

Location

You need to place your BT3710 base within 3 metres of a mains
power socket and 2 metres of the telephone wall socket so that
the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference.
Your BT3710 works by sending radio signals between the
handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where
you position the base. Putting it as high as possible can help to
provide the best signal.

Setting up

1. Plug the mains power adaptor (item code 052299) into the
power socket marked
the cable behind the retaining clip. Plug the other end into the
mains power wall socket and switch on. The base will come on
and beep and display 00.
It will default to Answer and record mode.
Telephone line cord
(pre-installed).

WARNING
Do not place your BT3710 in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT3710 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
indicates when you are in range of
the base. When it flashes and you
hear a warning beep, you are out of
range and will need to move closer to
the base.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line to
the telephone line wall socket until
the handset is fully charged.
The base station should be
plugged into the mains power
socket at all times.
