2. Install the battery in the handset and charge them for at least 16 hours
WARNING
Under no circumstances should non- rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the approved batteries. Using unapproved batteries will invalidate your warranty and may damage the telephone.
Fully discharging the batteries at least once a week will help them to last as long as possible. 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 any BT Shop or from the helpline on 0845 601 2476.
Slide off the battery cover and install the battery. Replace the battery cover.
When the battery has been charged for at least 16 hours the display will show the
symbol; you can then connect the telephone line cord to the base.
Battery low warning
If the handset battery symbol is empty and you hear warning beeps, you will need to recharge your handset before you can use it.
Helpline
If you are experiencing difficulty, please call the BT
