3Connect the power supply unit to a power socket

There will be a voice prompt announcing the default settings when the unit is first switched on.

The power supply unit must remain plugged in and switched on all the time.

Note

Do not connect the telephone line cord to the phone socket until the handset is fully charged. This will prevent the risk of the phone being answered before the batteries are charged, which may prevent them from reaching maximum capacity.

4Charge the handset

The charging light will remain constantly lit while the handset is placed on the base unit, even when the handset batteries are fully charged.

Note

When fully charged and in good condition, the handset will provide up to 7 hours continuous talktime or 72 hours standby.

If the handset battery is running low, the IN USE/BATTERY LOW light will flash every 10-15 seconds.

If you are making a call and the handset battery is running low you will hear a warning tone every 10-15 seconds.

Place the handset on the base unit to recharge.

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 the BT shop or from the Helpline

0845 769 7146.

Before you first use your Quartet 1500, the rechargeable battery in the handset needs charging for 24 hours.

Place the handset on the base unit, ensuring the contacts are touching. The red CHARGING light will come on.

To get the longest possible life from your battery, take the handset off the base unit for a few hours each day.
