8 Getting started
Talk/Standby time
In ideal conditions, fully charged
handset batteries should give
about 10 hours talk time or 100
hours standby time on a single
24 hour charge. The base must
remain plugged in to the mains
and switched on at all times.
Note that new batteries do not
reach full capacity until they
have been in normal use for
several days.
Battery low warning
If the handset has 15 minutes
or less talk-time remaining the
symbol will flash in the
display. If you are on a call, you
will hear 2 warning beeps every
30 seconds to alert you. You will
need to recharge the handset
before you can use 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 Reveal Helpline
on 0870 605 8047.
For instructions on how to install
new batteries, see page 82.
After charging your handset for
the first time, subsequent charging
time is about 6–8 hours a day.
Please note it is normal for
rechargable batteries and the
handset to become warm
during charging.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047
3. Place the handset on the base to charge
(as shown) for at least 24 hours. You will hear
a double beep to confirm the handset is sitting

of the handset.
4. After 24 hours, plug one end of the telephone line
cord into the socket marked 'Line' on the
underside of the base and the other end into the
