SETTING UP
Battery performance
After charging your handset batteries
for the first time, subsequent charging
time is approximately 4–5 hours.
Batteries and case may become warm
during charging. This is normal.
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 10 hours
talktime or 200 hours standby time on
a single charge. However, new NiCad
batteries do not reach their full
capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
Fully discharging the batteries at least
once a week will help them last as
long as possible. However, the charge
capacity of rechargeable batteries will
reduce with time as they wear out, so
reducing the talk/standby time of the
handset. Eventually they will need to
be replaced. New batteries can be
obtained from any BT shop or from
the Diverse Helpline 08457 908070.
If 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.
Out of range?
If you go out of range of a base station
for a long time while your handset is
switched ON, it may take more than
20 minutes to ‘find’ the base station
again when you come back within
range. However, by simply switching
the handset OFF for a moment, then
ON again, it will find the base station
within a few seconds.
Battery level icons
When the batteries are almost flat a
beep sounds and the display shows the
empty battery icon. You will need to
recharge your handset before you can
use it. The various states of charge are
shown below:
Batteries fully charged
Batteries at 66%
Batteries at 33%
Batteries empty
