Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time
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, giving
the handset less talk/standby time.
Eventually they will need to be
replaced. New batteries are
available from the BT Studio 500
Helpline on 0870 605 8047.
After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging time
is about 6– 8 hours a day. Batteries
