WARNING
Never use non-rechargeable
batteries. Only use the approved
batteries. Using unapproved batteries
will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give up to 10 hours
talk time or 100 hours standby on a
single charge. (This does not mean
you can unplug the base or leave
the handset for this length of time
without charge).
Please note that new NiMH
rechargeable batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
Battery low warning
If the icon is ashing in the display
and you hear a warning beep every
minute during a call, you will need
to recharge your handset before you
can use it.
Battery performance
To keep the 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.
After charging your handset for the
rst time, subsequent charging time
for the batteries is approximately
6–8 hours.
The charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, thus reducing the talk/
standby time. Eventually they will
need replacing. For details on how to
obtain spare batteries, call the
BT Graphite 2500 Helpline on
0808 100 6556*.
2. Remove the protective lm from the handset screen and
activate the batteries by pulling the plastic tab away from the
back of the handset.
3. Place the handset on the base to charge. It will beep when
placed in and the battery icon on the handset will ash
to indicate charging. You should let the batteries charge
continuously for at least 24 hours. The batteries and case may
become warm during charging, this is normal.
The main handset is pre-registered to the base as Handset 1.
This is shown on the display. When the handset is fully charged
the display will show .
4. After 24 hours plug the telephone line cord into the telephone
wall socket.
Note: If you ever need to remove the batteries, simply slide open
the battery compartment cover and using the nger holes grip
the batteries and pull them out.
