Battery low warning
The icon flashes in the handset display when
you have only a few minutes talk time remaining.
Recharge the handset before you can use it
again. You also hear a low battery warning beep
if the battery is low and needs recharging. During
charging, the icon will scroll in the display.
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, a fully charged battery 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 battery in the best condition, leave
the handset off the base for a few hours at a time.
Running the battery 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 Stratus 1500 Helpline on
0808 100 6556*. 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.
