Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge).
Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible.
On a full charge, your BT Freestyle 7150 handset gives up to 12 hours talk time or up to 120 hours standby.
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.
Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
2.Batteries will come inserted in the battery compartment. Pull the plastic tag as instructed to activate the batteries.
3.Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 hours by placing the handset on the base. The screen shows the battery icon filling up.
4.Plug the telephone line cord into the socket marked 
on the back of the base and plug the other end into the wall socket.
