Replacing the handset batteries

After a time, you may find that the handset batteries are running out of charge more
quickly. This is a standard sign of wear and the batteries will need replacing.

For spare 2 x AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries, please contact the BT Equinox Helpline
0870 605 8047.

Remove the battery compartment cover and remove existing batteries. Insert new batteries
and replace the compartment cover. 

NOTE:

BT accepts no responsibility for damage caused to your BT Equinox handset by

using any other type of batteries.
