Hi, the first thing you need to do is to ensure that there is a capacitor in the C1 position next to the gravity switch at the right of the phone looking from the rear (it looks like it is present from your picture)

Assuming that you are using some kind of adapter to allow you to use a British BT plug on your country's phone socket re-wire/strap the phone as follows.

Strap T4 - T5 - T6 - T7
Strap T8 - T9
Strap T16 - T17 - T18 - T19

If you don't have enough straps you can just use wire links

Park the Green and Blue leads of your line cord on T14 and T15 (it doesn't matter which way round they are)

Red of line cord to T8

White of line cord to T18

Try that and let us know

Regards

Andrew
