7Getting started
Battery low warning
The handset battery symbol has
only one red bar left and you
will hear a warning beep every
5 minutes. Start recharging
your handset right away or the
handset will shut down.
Battery low
Battery full
When charging, the battery
symbol is blue and it scrolls.
When you place a handset with
a completely flat battery on to
the base, the charge light will
come on but the handset will
not start. You must wait up to
10 minutes before the battery
has enough charge for the
handset to start.
Battery performance
Running the battery right down
at least once a week will help it
last as long as possible.
On a full charge, your B
T Glide
handset gives you up to
7 hours talk time or up to
72 hours standby.
The charge capacity of a
rechargeable battery will
reduce with time as it wears
out, giving the handset less
talk/standby time. Eventually it
will need to be replaced.
The battery and handset may
become warm during charging.
This is normal.
