Battery saving tips
To extend the life of your handset batteries, it is a
good idea to take the handset off the base for
around two hours every day or let the handset run
down completely once every six months.
Installing handset batteries and recharging
When fully charged and in good condition, the
handset batteries will last for up to 5 hours
continuous use in talk mode or 48 hours in
standby mode. If the batteries are running low,
the handset will display a flashing
BATT
warning message.
If you are on a call, the handset will give a
series of beeps and the
BATT
warning message
will remain on the display. You will have about
30 seconds before the call is cut off.
Normally, replacing the handset on the base
unit to recharge overnight will keep it fully
operative for normal everyday use.
If, in time, you find that the batteries are not
holding sufficient charge, they should be
replaced. New batteries are available from BT
phone shops or your supplier.
