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.
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.
Your handset is supplied with NiMH batteries. These need to be initially charged continuously for 16 hours to reach full charge.
Note that the battery charge icon does not indicate the correct level when the batteries are first installed. The batteries must first be fully charged.
