Questions and answers
When do I need to change the batteries?
You should change the batteries for the BT 2700 when you experience less and less talk time between charging. Over time, all cordless phone batteries wear out, and this indicates that it is time to replace them.

@Mr. Anderson Thank you for your reply. My phone currently has NiMH 550 batteries. Is this correct, can I use more powerful batteries, say 800 mAh?
Incoming calls have no associated ring tone
Incoming calls on the BT 2700 may have no ringtone because the ringer volume is set to "Ringer off," Block mode is on, or Do Not Disturb is switched on.

My phone currently has NiMH 550 batteries. Is this correct, can I use more powerful batteries, say 800 mAh?
The manual states that any replacement rechargeable batteries must be of the same type as the supplied ones. It does not specify if a higher capacity (mAh) can be used. However, as long as the replacement batteries are AAA NiMH, they should work, though performance may vary.
