Getting started

Location

Place your BT Granite within 2 metres of the mains power socket 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 Granite 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 (item code 045139) into the socket marked
on the underside of the base and plug the other end into the mains power wall
socket and switch the power on. You can place the cable behind the retaining
clip to prevent the plug being accidentally pulled from the socket.
The base message counter lights up. The answering machine is switched on.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0808 100 6556*
WARNING
Do not place your BT Granite in the bathroom or
other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Granite has a range of up to 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 icon on your handset indicates when you
are in range. If moving out of range of the base,
the range indicator will flash. If you go out of
range, any call you are on will be lost.
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains
power socket at all times.
Do not connect the telephone line until the
handset is fully charged.
Only use the power and telephone cables
supplied with the product.
