Power saving
Better Business Better Future
We’re working hard for all our products to be inclusive and more energy 
efficient and to use fewer materials. For example, our BT home phones use 
more efficient power supplies designed to run on half the electricity. As a 
company, we’ve also been working to reduce our environmental impact.
We were one of the first UK firms to actively curb CO
2
 emissions and we’re 
committed to reducing our carbon intensity by 80 per cent from 1997 
levels by 2020. We’ve achieved a 43 per cent reduction so far by becoming 
more energy efficient and increasing our use of renewable energy.
We’d be delighted to tell you more. Just go to bt.com/inclusion
Power-saving modes
Your BT Vision+ box has some features to reduce energy consumption.  
The Power 
 light on the front of your BT Vision+ box shows the current 
power-saving mode:
Power light Power-saving mode
Blue
Full power
On and in use, e.g. watching TV.
Purple
Standby
On standby but scheduled recordings and software 
updates will still apply.
To put your BT Vision+ box into standby, press 
 on the 
remote control or press   on the front of your 
BT Vision+ box. Press either   button to switch the unit 
back on to full power – it will take the BT Vision+ box a  
few seconds to respond. If you’ve left your BT Vision+ box 
on and aren’t using it, it goes on standby after four hours.
Red
Low power/ 
Off mode
Your BT Vision+ box is effectively off and the BT Vision+ 
box will not record any programmes.
To use low-power mode, press and hold 
 on 
the front of your BT Vision+ box until the Power light 
flashes red (about three seconds). To turn it on again, 
press 
 on your BT Vision+ box (the remote 
control won’t work in this mode). When you press the 
button, your BT Vision+ box will take a few seconds to 
begin starting up and will be ready when the Power 
light is solid blue (this can take about a minute).
