Battery performance
In ideal conditions, a fully charged
batteries should give up to 10 hours
talk time or 100 hours standby time on
a single charge.
Note that new batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
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 it 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 Freestyle 750
Helpline on 0800 218 2182*.
After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging time is
about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and
handset may become warm during
charging. This is normal.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0800 218 2182* or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com
