Your BT Freestyle 2500 answering machine automatically adds the day and time to all messages and memos recorded. The default setting is Saturday 12:01pm.
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 Freestyle Helpline 0870 240 3962.
