Getting started

Location

Place your BT Hudson 1500 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 Hudson 1500 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 039956) 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.
The base emits a beep and the indicator lights up.
The answering machine is switched on and will default
to 'Answer and record' mode.
Peel the protective film away from the base counter lens.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0808 100 6556* or visit www.bt.com/producthelp
WARNING
Do not place your BT Hudson 1500 in
the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Hudson 1500 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.
