WARNING
Under no circumstances should non-
rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the
approved batteries. Using unapproved
batteries will invalidate your warranty and
may damage the telephone.
Fully discharging the batteries at least once
a week 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 601 2476.
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.
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.
Helpline
If you are experiencing difficulty, please call
the BT On-Air Helpline on 0845 601 2476.
