2. Plug the mains power cord into the underside of the base
and into the mains power.
The green Power/In use light comes on.
3. Place the handset on the base to charge for at least 24
hours. The red Charging light comes on. When the
handset is fully charged the display shows the symbol.
4. After 24 hours, plug one end of the telephone line cord
into your BT Edge 2100 base and the other end into the
telephone wall socket.
7Getting started
The red Charging light stays on
even when the batteries are fully
charged.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully
charged handset batteries should
give about 10 hours talk time or
100 hours standby time on a single
charge.
BATTERY LOW WARNING
If the symbol is empty and
flashing, and you hear a warning
beep every 10 -15 seconds, you
will need to recharge your handset
before you can use it.
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 24 hour charge).
New NiMH batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
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, so
reducing the talk/standby time of
the handset. Eventually they will
need to be replaced. New batteries
can be obtained from the BT Edge
Helpline 0870 605 8047.
