Warning
Do not place your BT Concero 1400 in 
the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Concero 1400 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 
 symbol on your handset  
screen indicates when you are in 
range. When you are out of range, 
the 
 symbol flashes, and the  
screen displays 
Searching. 
You should move closer to the base 
if this happens to ensure the full 
functionality of your phone.
Important
Do not connect the telephone line 
until at least one of the handsets is 
fully charged.
The base station must be plugged 
into the mains power at all times.

Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully charged 
handset batteries should give about 
10 hours talk time or 100 hours 
standby time on a single charge.
Getting started
Location
You need to place your BT Concero 1400 base within 2 metres of a 
mains power 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 Concero 1400 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 cable with the blue ring on the connector 
(item code 048611) into the power socket marked 
 on the 
back of the base and secure the cable behind the retaining clip. 
Plug the other end into the mains socket and switch on.
2.  Remove the protective film from the 
handset screen and activate the 
batteries by pulling the plastic tab 
away from the back of the handset.
