Battery performance
Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be used.
Only use the approved batteries, type:
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride
(Ni-MH); size AAA; capacity
550mAh 1.2v. Using unapproved
batteries will invalidate your guarantee
and may damage the telephone.
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off the
base station for a few hours at a time.
(after the intial 16 hour charge).
Please note, however, that new Nickel
Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) 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 the BT Freelance
Helpline 0870 605 8047.
Note: Under ideal conditions, the
handset batteries should give about
14 hours talktime or 350 hours
standby on a single charge. Optimum
times for talk and standby are only
achieved when the handset batteries
are fully charged.
