Battery performance
When the battery is fully charged
the display a full, yellow-green
coloured battery.
Running the battery right down at
least once a week will help it last as
long as possible.
On a full charge, your BT Zenith
Flip handset gives you up to 10
hours talk time or up to 90 hours
standby.
The charge capacity of a
rechargeable battery will reduce
with time as it wears out, giving
the handset less talk/standby time.
Eventually it will need to be
replaced.
The battery and handset may
become warm during charging.
This is normal.
Only use a Li-ion rechargeable
battery with a recommended
capacity of 3.7V 720mAh.
Using an inappropriate battery
will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
