Replacing the handset batteries

After a time, you may find that the handset batteries are running out of charge more quickly. This is a standard sign of wear and the batteries will need replacing.

1.Unscrew and remove the belt clip and battery compartment cover. You can use a coin if you don’t have a screwdriver handy.

2.Remove the old batteries.

3.Make sure the battery ribbon is laying flat inside the battery compartment and insert 2 x AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries observing the polarity markings (+ and -).

4.Replace the battery cover: hook the two plastic clips into place first, then lower and screw the cover into place.

5.Finally, screw back the belt clip.

Note

Spare rechargeable batteries are available from the BT Elements Helpline 0870 605 8047.

WARNING

Do not immerse batteries in water or throw them into a fire, or dispose of them with ordinary domestic refuse. BT accepts no responsibility for damage caused to your BT Elements phone by using any other types of batteries.
