Battery low warning

If the symbol is flashing, you will need to recharge your handset before using it.

If the battery icon is flashing and

scrolling digits the battery is very low and you will need to charge it for 24 hours before use to ensure maximum battery performance.

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 24 hour charge).

New NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days. Running the batteries right down at least once a week will help them last as long as possible.

IMPORTANT

Only use the power supply and telephone line cord supplied with your BT Studio 4500 otherwise the telephone may not work.

Under no circumstances use non-rechargeable batteries. Only use NiMH rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 500mAh. Using inappropriate batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.

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 Freelance Helpline 0800 218 2182*.

Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal. If you have more than one handset registered to your base, you only need to set the date and time on one handset and the other handsets will be automatically updated.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0800 218 2182* or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com
