WARNING

Do not place your BT Elements base in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Battery low warning

If the symbol flashes in the display and you hear a warning beep every minute, you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again.

During charging, the symbol will scroll in the display.

Battery performance

To keep your 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 them last as long as possible. From a rundown state the handset may take a minute or so to power up the display.

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 Elements Helpline on 0870 605 8047.

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

Replace the battery cover: hook the two plastic clips into place first, then lower and screw the cover into place. Finally, screw the belt clip on. You can use a coin, e.g. 10p piece if you don’t have a screwdriver.

2.At the base: Plug the mains power cord into the socket on the underside of the base and plug the other end into the mains power wall socket (the base must be plugged into the mains at all times). The green Power/In use light comes on and you will hear a confirmation tone.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com
