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%

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 150
hours standby time on a single
charge. However, new NiMH
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.
