Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time
(after the initial 16 hour charge).
Running the batteries right down
at least once a week will help them
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
Helpline on 0870 240 3962.
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.
If you remove and replace batteries
at anytime, the battery icon in the
display will always show that the
batteries are empty irrespective of
their actual state of charge. After
1 hour on charge the actual battery
state will be shown. Alternatively,
switch the handset off then on
(see page 18) and the true battery
state will be shown immediately.
5. Charge the handsets for at least 16 hours by placing the
handset on the base. The red CHARGING light comes
on. The handsets are pre-registered to the base.
If you have purchased either the BT Freestyle Twin,
Trio or Quad products the additional handsets will come
pre-registered to the base.
6. After 16 hours charging, plug the telephone line cord
into the wall socket.
Attach the belt clips (optional)
