Bandwidth
As you know, with BT Total Broadband and your BT Home
Hub you can enjoy adding a number of services to your
home network. Add these to all the online activities you
may also be doing – such as listening to internet radio,
watching online video and downloading files – and you'll
end up with a busy broadband line!
Please bear in mind that too many things happening at
once over your broadband line may affect the quality of
service you receive – this is normal and not a fault with
your service. In the unlikely event that this happens to your
network, you'll notice slow downloads and possible small
interruptions to phone calls. Simply try to reduce the
number of things happening at once over your broadband
line. Your service can also be affected if the internet is busy.
Safety and regulatory instructions
Please read this document carefully prior to set-up!
1. The Hub will get warm once it is connected to the
power supply. Although this is normal, you should
make sure that your Hub has adequate ventilation
to prevent it from overheating. Never block the vents
on your Hub.
2. Don't expose your Hub to rain, water, moisture or
direct sunshine.
3. Don't spill liquid on your Hub.
4. Keep your Hub away from sources of heat such as
heaters or radiators.
5. Don't attempt to disassemble or open up your Hub
yourself. Not only will it make your warranty void, it
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
6. Before cleaning, disconnect your Hub from its power
supply. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
7. For better performance, don't place your Hub on
a television or computer monitor.
8. In the event of an electrical storm, you must unplug
all of your equipment from the electricity supply and
phone sockets.
9. This product intentionally generates low-level radio
frequency signals and as such, there is a very small
risk that this product may interfere with sensitive
medical devices, for example a heart pacemaker,
when in close proximity. If you have any concerns,
BT recommends that you consult the medical device
manufacturer before using this product.
10. The plug on the power cable serves as a disconnect
device. Make sure that the power socket you plug the
power cable into is easily accessible and located as
close to the equipment as possible.
Please save energy
Please avoid wasting energy while using your computer,
games console or other equipment. You can set up your
computers to go into standby or low-energy usage mode
automatically.
Please disconnect your Hub from its power supply when
not in use for an extended period (e.g. a holiday), but
remember that when you do so all connected computers
(and any other devices that use your Hub to connect to
your broadband line) will lose internet access and BT
Broadband Talk won't work. Remember to restore power
to your Hub before turning your computer(s) on.
