Battery low warning

UP	If the handset battery symbol is empty
SETTING
	and flashing, and you hear a warning
	beep every 10 seconds, you will need
	to recharge your handset before you can
	use it.

	Note
The	symbol on your handset display

indicates when you are in range of the base station. If the symbol flashes and you hear a warning beep, you

are out of range and will need to move closer to the base station.

The handset has a range of 300 metres outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors. The stated range of this product is measured in open field conditions. Walls, ceilings and metal structures will reduce the maximum range.

Battery performance

Under no circumstances should non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the approved batteries, type: rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH); Size AAA; Capacity 550 mAh; 1.2V. Using unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.

To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base station for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge).

Fully discharging the batteries at least once a week will help them last as long as possible.

However, charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, so reducing talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New batteries can be obtained from the BT Synergy Helpline on 08706 058 047.

After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time for the battery is approximately 6-8 hours a day. Batteries and handset may be come warm during charging. This is normal.

Under ideal condition the handset batteries should give about 14 hours talk time or 350 hours standby on a single charge. (This does not mean you can unplug the base station or leave it for this length of time without charge.)

Please note however, that new NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.
