BT 2011 manual Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 hours

7Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 hours

Battery display when inserting or replacing a battery

When you replace the handset batteries with ones that have been fully charged, the battery indicator will not show full until the next charge cycle has been completed. Charge the handset until the batteries register full again. From then on the display will be correct.

Place the handset on the base.

The handset can be charged face up or down.

Make sure that the contacts on the bottom end of the handset are touching both charging contacts.

When the handset batteries are charging, the green CHARGING light comes on – it goes off when the batteries are fully charged. It will come on again occasionally to indicate that the battery is being topped up.

When the handset battery has been charged for 16 hours, the Diverse 2011 is ready to use.

Spare batteries are available from the Diverse Helpline on 0845 790 8070.

Battery performance

After charging your Diverse 2011 for the first time, subsequent charging time for the handset batteries is approximately 4-5 hours. Batteries and case may become warm during charging. This is normal and not dangerous.

Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give about 7 hours talktime or 60 hours standby on a single charge (both standby and talk time is reduced for the Diverse 2000 Executive Handset to approximately 50 hours standby and 6 hours talktime). However, new NiCad batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

Please note that the lifespan of NiCad rechargeable batteries depends on how heavily they are used. However, over time, their capacity to recharge will begin to diminish and they will eventually need replacing.

Getting the most out of your batteries

Avoid replacing the handset on the base station between calls. It is best to keep the handset off the base for a few hours at a time.
