Quartet 1100 User Guide – Edition 5 – 17.8.00
Note
Do not connect the telephone line
cord to the phone socket until the
handset is fully charged. This will
prevent the risk of the phone being
answered before the batteries are
charged, which may prevent them
from reaching maximum capacity.
Note
When fully charged and in good
condition, the handset will provide
up to 7 hours talktime or 72 hours
standby.
If the handset battery is running
low, the IN USE/BATTERY LOW
light on the handset will flash every
10-15 seconds.
If you are making a call and the
handset battery is running low you
will hear a warning tone every
10-15 seconds.
Place the handset on the base unit
to recharge.
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 shop
or from the Helpline.
To get the longest possible life
from your battery, take the handset
off the base unit for a few hours
each day.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be used.
Only use the approved batteries.
Using unapproved batteries will
invalidate your warranty and may
damage the telephone.
3 Charge the handset
When you first use your Quartet 1100,
the rechargeable battery in the
handset needs charging for 24 hours.
Place the handset on the base unit,
ensuring the contacts are touching.
The red CHARGING light will come
on.
The charging light will remain
constantly lit while the handset is
placed on the base unit, even when the
handset batteries are fully charged.
