Battery performance
After charging your handset batteries
for the first time, subsequent charging
time is approximately 4–5 hours.
Batteries and case may become warm
during charging. This is normal.
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 10 hours
talktime or 200 hours standby time
on a single charge. However, new
NiCad batteries do not reach their
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
Fully discharging the batteries at least
once a week will help them 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 Diverse Helpline
08457 908070
.
If you replace the handset batteries
with ones that have been fully
charged, the battery indicator will
not show full until the next charge
cycle has been completed. Charge
the handset until the batteries
register full again. From then on
the display will be correct.

Out of range?
If you go out of range of a base
station for a long time while your
handset is switched ON, it may take
more than 20 minutes to ‘find’ the
base station again when you come
back within range. However, by
simply switching the handset OFF
for a moment, then ON again, it
will find the base station within a
few seconds.
Battery level icons
When the batteries are almost flat a
beep sounds and the display shows
the empty battery icon. You will
need to recharge your handset before
you can use it. The various states of
charge are shown below:
Batteries fully charged
Batteries at 66%
Batteries at 33%
Batteries empty
SETTING
UP
Leave the handset for approx. 16
hours in the base station to charge
the batteries, as they are not
charged in the factory. The charging
status icon flashes on the handset
to indicate that the batteries are
being charged.
