WARNING

Under no circumstances should non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the approved batteries. Using unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.

Fully discharging the batteries at least once a month 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 300 0156.

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.

Battery performance

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.
