Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base may
cause interference to hearing aids.
This product should not be used near emergency/intensive
care medical equipment and should not be used by people
with pacemakers.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of
explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.
Cleaning
Simply clean the handset, USB unit and base station with a
damp (not wet) cloth, or an antistatic wipe. Never use
household
polish as this will damage the product. Never use a dry cloth
as this may cause a static shock.

The product may heat up when the batteries are being
recharged. This is normal. However, we recommend that
you do not place the product on antique/veneered wood to
avoid damage.
Do not stand your product on carpets or other surfaces
which generate fibres, or place it in locations preventing free
flow of air over it’s surfaces.
Do not submerge any part of your product in water and do
not use it in damp or humid conditions, such as in

Introduction
Your BT On-Air 1800 provides an all-in-one
solution combining telephone, answering
machine and wireless modem for Internet
access.
By plugging the BT On-Air USB unit into your
desktop or laptop computer, you can connect
to the Internet from anywhere in or around
your home without wires.
The proven DECT digital cordless technology
is used for the voice and data communication
between the handset or BT On-Air USB unit,
and the base. The base plugs into your
telephone socket and features a fast 56k
Internet Modem.
Minimum PC requirements
Windows 98, Me, 2000 or XP.
Pentium Processor 200MHz.
32MB RAM.
Free USB port (if an external USB hub is
used, it must be mains powered).
CD drive for installation of software.
Note
The BT On-Air 1800 Wireless Modem is
approved for connecting to Internet Service
Providers supporting V.90 connections. This is
the case for all major ISPs. It does not support
fax send/receive. It also cannot receive
incoming modem calls and therefore does
not support remote access using callback
mechanism.

Setting up
Once connected, put the plinth back on the base
to prevent it from rocking on the table.
There are two positions for the plinth when
joining it to the base, both can be used for desk
mounting and one for wall mounting. Position
A is for desk mounting only and position B is
for desk or wall mounting (see wall mounting
on page 51).
Base and handset
2 Connect the power supply and
switch on.
Plug the power supply cable into the socket on
the underside of your base. The power cable
connector and socket are coloured red.
Plug the line cord into the other socket on the
underside of the base marked with a telephone
symbol.
WARNING
Please take care that the power supply and
telephone line cord are connected to the
correct sockets as incorrect placement could
damage your equipment.
BA
Your handset is already registered to the base.
1 Plan the location
Situate your base close enough to the
telephone and mains power sockets so that the
cables will reach.
The only way to disconnect the product from
the power supply is to remove the power
adaptor from the mains power socket.
Therefore you must ensure you plan the
location so that the mains power is easily
accessed.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from
other electrical products to avoid interference.
Do not situate the product in the bathroom or
other humid areas.
plinth
Important
You must thread the power supply cable
and line cord through the plinth before you
connect into the sockets on the base.
10
3 Charge the battery in the
handset for at least 16 hours
WARNING
Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use
the approved batteries. Using unapproved
batteries will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
Fully discharging the batteries at least once
a month will help them to last as long as
possible. However, the charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will reduce with time
as they wear out, so reducing the
talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually
they will need to be replaced. New batteries
can be obtained from any BT Shop or from
the Helpline on 0845 300 0156.
Battery low warning
If the handset battery symbol is empty and you
hear warning beeps, you will need to recharge
your handset before you can use it.
Plug the power adaptor into the wall socket and
switch on. When the power is switched on, the
PLAY button on your base will light up green.
Battery performance
Your handset is supplied with NiMH
batteries. These need to be initially charged
continuously for 16 hours to reach full
charge.
Note that the battery charge icon does not
indicate the correct level when the batteries
are first installed. The batteries must first be
fully charged.
4 Connect the telephone line cord
Plug the line cord into the telephone wall socket.
Place the handset in the cradle on the base
station. The handset display will show the
battery symbol. If it does not appear, see Help,
page 48.
When the battery has been charged for at least
16 hours the display will show the symbol.

rubber feet on the plinth and 2 on the base.

After installation, the BT On-Air Monitor
window is displayed.
This window lets you monitor:
if you are logged on to the base station
(Status column),
the quality of the radio signal between the
base and the BT On-Air USB unit (Signal
strength).
Click OK.
The installation is now complete and the
BT On-Air Monitor is displayed.
3 Checking the installation
1
If the signal strength is poor or you cannot
log on, the most probable causes are that your
computer is out of range of the base or that the
base is not switched on. Check that the base
was properly set-up by following instructions
in this user guide and move closer to the base.
If you still cannot log on to the base, see ‘Help’
page 48. (See page 20 for more information on
using the BT On-Air Monitor.)
19
If you already had an Internet connection set-up
on your computer before installing BT On-Air:
If you ticked the Internet connection during
the Internet Connection Settings part of the
BT On-Air installation, then you are now ready
to connect to the Internet. You can now turn to
the next section for instructions on how to use
the modem.
If you do not have an Internet connection
installed or want to update an existing one:
Instructions for setting up an Internet
connection depend on your computer and your
chosen Internet Service Provider. Refer to the
Windows online help on how to set-up an
Internet connection or follow the instructions
given by your Internet service provider.
When installing your new Internet
connection or updating an existing one,
select “BT On-Air Wireless Modem”
within the dial-up networking properties
when prompted for a device to use for
the connection.
4 Setting-up your
Internet connection
Note
The BT On-Air 1800 supports speeds of
56 kbit/s for download from an ISP only.
Upload remains at 33.6 kbit/s.
The actual speed achieved depends on the
line condition and will vary across different
connections.
20
Using the modem
Note
Your BT On-Air USB unit is powered via
the connection to your computer so, if you
are using a laptop computer, you may notice
a slight reduction in the battery capacity.
Note
If Call Waiting is enabled on your line, any
incoming call will cause an active Internet
connection to drop. You should disable Call
Waiting before making an Internet
connection. Please refer to your network
operator's instruction.
Note
You cannot use the modem monitor while
connected to the Internet.
To use the modem monitor
The BT On-Air Wireless Modem monitor lets
you rename the base, change the system code
and de-register your BT On-Air USB unit.
It also indicates when your BT On-Air USB
unit is in or out of range of the base.
To connect to the Internet
When your modem is installed, you also need
to choose an Internet Service Provider and
set-up a dial-up networking connection on your
computer before you can connect to the
Internet.
If you have not got a connection installed
already, you can get an installation disk by
contacting your chosen service provider.
Your provider will give you instructions
on how to set-up the dial-up networking
connection. When installing your service
provider’s Internet software, select “BT On-Air
Wireless Modem” when prompted for a device
to use for the connection.
Please refer to Help section on page 48 if you
are experiencing problems.
Click on the BT On-Air icon in the system tray.
This is normally at the bottom right of your
computer screen.
Important
The BT On-Air USB unit must be connected
to your computer and the software installed
before you can connect to the Internet.
Make sure the base has been plugged into the
mains and connected to the telephone line.
