Need help?
If you have any problems setting up or using your BT Diverse
7150 Plus please call the Helpline on 0800 218 2182*, or visit
www.bt.com/producthelp. Our dedicated advisors are more likely
to be able to help you than the retailer where you made your
purchase.
Alternatively, you may find the answer in the ‘Help’ section
at the back of this guide.
IMPORTANT
Only use the power adaptor and telephone line cord supplied,
or this product may not work.
Hearing aid?
Please note that the BT Diverse 7150 Plus works by sending radio
signals between the base and handset. These signals may interfere
with some hearing aids, causing a humming noise.
* Calls to the Helpline made from within the UK mainland network are free.
Mobile and International call costs may vary.

WARNING
Do not place your BT Diverse 7150
Plus in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
Handset range
The BT Diverse 7150 Plus 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 power socket at all times.
Do not connect the telephone line to
the telephone wall socket until the
handset is fully charged. Only use the
power and telephone cables supplied
with the product.
Battery low warning
If the icon flashes in the handset
display you will need to recharge the
handset before you can use it again.
You also hear a low battery warning
beep once every 60 seconds.
During charging, the icon will
scroll in the display as shown on
page 9.
Getting started
Location
Place your BT Diverse 7150 Plus within 2 metres of the 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 Diverse 7150 Plus 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 power cable with the blue end into the socket marked
on the underside of the base and plug the other end into
the power wall socket and switch the power on. You can place
the cable behind the retaining clip to prevent the plug being
accidentally pulled from the socket.
The base indicator lights up. The answering machine is
switched on.
2. Batteries will come inserted in the battery compartment.
Remove the protective film from the handset screen and
activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab away from
the back of the handset.
Rechargeable batteries
already fitted
Remove this tab
and charge batteries
for 24 hours before use.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0800 218 2182* or visit www.bt.com/producthelp
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, a fully charged
battery should give up to 16 hours
talk time or 180 hours standby time
on a single charge.
Note that new batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
The charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as
they wear out, giving the handset
less talk/standby time. Eventually
they will need to be replaced. New
rechargeable batteries are available
from the BT Diverse 7150 Plus
Helpline on 0800 218 2182*.
After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging time
is about 6–8 hours a day depending
on usage. Batteries and handset may
become warm during charging.
This is normal.
Using your BT Diverse 7150 Plus on a
Broadband line?
If this product is to be used on a
broadband line then you must ensure
that it is connected via an ADSL
microfilter. Using this product on
a Broadband line without an ADSL
microfilter may cause problems with
this product and your Broadband
service.
Additional BT ADSL microfilters can
be purchased from www.shop.bt.com
3. Place the handset on the base to charge for at least 24 hours.
4. When the batteries are fully charged, plug the end of the
telephone line cord into the telephone wall socket.
Set date and time manually
Providing you have subscribed to your network’s Caller Display
service, the date and time is set automatically when you receive
your first call.
To set the date and time manually, follow the procedure below.
1. Press the right soft key (Menu) and scroll to Settings,
