WARNING
Do not place your BT Verve 500 in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Verve 500 has a range of 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 on your handset indicates
when you are in range.
When you move out of range of the
base the icon will flash and the
out of range tone (2 beeps) will
sound. This tone is repeated until
you move back into range. If you do
not move back into range you risk
your call being disconnected.
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.

Location
You need to place your BT Verve 500 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 Verve 500 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 cord into the round socket on the back
of the base and connect the other end to the mains power
wall socket. When correctly connected the red message
counter will illuminate.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover, by sliding it
downward and lifting off.
