Batteries

Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries
should give up to 8 hours of talk time or 80
hours on standby on a single charge. (This
doesn't mean you can unplug the base or leave
the handset without charging it for this long).
Please note that new Li-on rechargeable
batteries don't reach full capacity until they've
been in normal use for several days.

Battery performance

To keep the 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.
After charging your handset for the first
•
time, subsequent charging time for the
batteries is about six hours.
The charge capacity of the rechargeable
•
battery will go down over time, which will
reduce your phone's talk and standby time.
Eventually it will need replacing. For details
on how to get a replacement battery, call
the helpline on 0808 100 9889*.

Battery low warning

When the handset needs recharging, the icon
will flash, you'll see the message Battery low
in the display and you'll hear a warning beep
every minute. You can remove the display
message by selecting Hide. If the battery
charge completely runs out, the display will
show Batteries flat. Please charge. and the
handset will switch off. You'll need to recharge
the handset batteries before you can use
the handset. Place it back on the charger or
connect the usb cable.
If you ever need to remove the battery,
carefully remove the rear case by using the slot
at the bottom of the handset and then gently
working the cover off around the edges.
Using your BT Home SmartPhone S on a
broadband line?
If so, you need to fit an ADSL microfilter
between the phone line cord and the phone
socket. You can get BT ADSL microfilters from
bt.com/shop. If you use BT Infinity, you won't
need to use an ADSL microfilter. For other
types of broadband, please check with your
provider if you need to fit a microfilter.
