Getting started
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time.
Running the batteries right down
at least once a week will help them
last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will reduce
with time as they wear out, giving
the handset less talk/standby time.
Eventually they will need to be
replaced. New batteries are
available from the BT Synergy
4500 Helpline on 0870 605 8047.
For instructions on how to install
new batteries, see page 92.
After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging
time is about 6–8 hours a day.
Batteries and handset may become
warm during charging. This is
normal.
