BT 1100 manual Charge the handset

Quartet 1100 User Guide – Edition 5 – 17.8.00

Note Note

Do not connect the telephone line cord to the phone socket until the handset is fully charged. This will prevent the risk of the phone being answered before the batteries are charged, which may prevent them from reaching maximum capacity.

3Charge the handset

When you first use your Quartet 1100, the rechargeable battery in the handset needs charging for 24 hours.

Place the handset on the base unit, ensuring the contacts are touching. The red CHARGING light will come on.

The charging light will remain constantly lit while the handset is placed on the base unit, even when the handset batteries are fully charged.

When fully charged and in good condition, the handset will provide up to 7 hours talktime or 72 hours standby.

If the handset battery is running low, the IN USE/BATTERY LOW light on the handset will flash every 10-15 seconds.

If you are making a call and the handset battery is running low you will hear a warning tone every 10-15 seconds.

Place the handset on the base unit to recharge.

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 the BT shop or from the Helpline.

To get the longest possible life from your battery, take the handset off the base unit for a few hours each day.

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.
