Battery low warning
If the battery charge becomes low
during a call you will hear a
warning beep every minute
(provided the battery warning tone
is set to on, see page 27). If the
battery runs out you will be cut off.
You will need to recharge the
handset before using it again.
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 Freelance XA
5000 Helpline on 0870 605 8047.
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 0870 605 8047
