When the battery is fully charged, plug one end | BT 450 specs

8Getting started

Battery low warning

If the icon flashes in the handset display you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again. You also hear a low battery warning beep once every 60 seconds.

During charging, the icon will scroll in the display.

Battery performance

In ideal conditions, a fully charged battery should give up to 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby time on a single charge.

Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

To keep the battery in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time. Running the battery right down at least once a week will help it last as long as possible.

The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, giving the handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New batteries are available from the BT Verve 450 Helpline on 0800 218 2182*.

After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.

The base indicator lights up. The answering machine is switched on.

2.The NiMH battery is already fitted in the handset. Remove the battery compartment cover, by sliding it downward and lifting it off.

Locate the battery lead and connector and plug it into the socket inside the battery compartment (the red wire should be on the left). Tuck the battery leads in the space above the battery and slide the battery compartment cover back on.

3.Place the handset on the base to charge for at least 20 hours. When the handset is fully charged the icon will be displayed.

4.When the battery is fully charged, plug one end of the

telephone line cord into the socket marked on the rear of the base and the other end into the telephone wall socket.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0800 218 2182* or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com
