Re: New Advance Phone where to get advice on SETUP?
Are you a BT Retail phone customer?
If you are, then is this to do with BT Digital Voice?

Unless I am mistaken, this is a major (very odd) omission from the User Guide?

You can't connect a DV phone directly to the Hub. It sounds like you may have the Advanced DECT phone rather than the Advanded DV phone?

???
The procedure for connecting the phone to your hub using the WPS button is detailed on page 6.
Am I missing something?

I have not found a reference to DV or DECT in the User Guide (or the packaging). It may be in the Guide which is quite detailed, but I have gone through it a few times. Can you explain DV versus DECT, presumably I have the latter as I have made and received calls OK via connection to my BT Hub

Hi @clayto You clearly have bought the old Advanced Phones (non-DV). Setup is simply plug it in to your Smart Hub 2 (no filter). Nothing else.

Re: New Advance Phone where to get advice on SETUP?
Are we looking at the same document? In mine, page 6 deals with 'battery performance' and has a graphic showing a connection to a wall socket, no mention of Hub or of WPS. I did not need to use WPS on the Hub to establish a connection through it. I have just tested connecting to the wall socket as shown in the Guide pg 6 and it did not work, the phone displays 'Line Code Error' (so I am glad I did not follow it!). The wall socket became redundant when the engineer upgraded my Broadband to Full Fibre 100. It seems to me that the phone may have come with the wrong, ie. possibly out of date, Guide?

You appear to have an analogue phone rather than a Digital Voice (which is DECT) cordless phone.

Please read my post #4 & follow the links. You've either bought or been sent the wrong product, although as you've found it will work. But you won't have access to Alexa or any other features of the DV phone.
