Getting started
Battery low warning
If the icon flashes in the external display
you will need to recharge the handset before
you can use it again.
During charging, the icon will scroll in
the display.
Battery performance
In ideal conditions, fully charged batteries should
give about 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 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 Synergy Helpline on
0800 145 6789*.
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.
