Charge the battery in the
handset for at least 16 hours
WARNING
Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use
the approved batteries. Using unapproved
batteries will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
Fully discharging the batteries at least once
a month will help them to 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 Helpline on
0845 300 0156
.
Battery low warning
If the handset battery symbol is empty and you
hear warning beeps, you will need to recharge
your handset before you can use it.
Plug the power adaptor into the wall socket and
switch on. When the power is switched on, the
PLAY
button on your base will light up green.
Battery performance
Your handset is supplied with NiMH
batteries. These need to be initially charged
continuously for 16 hours to reach full
charge.
Note that the battery charge icon does not
indicate the correct level when the batteries
are first installed. The batteries must first be
fully charged.
