BT 710 manual Battery low warning, Battery perfor`mance

8 Getting 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 perfor`mance

In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries 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 batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time. Running the batteries 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 Freestyle 750 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.

2.Batteries will come inserted in the battery compartment. Pull the plastic tag as instructed to activate the batteries.

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 batteries are 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.
