2. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the
handset. Slide the battery compartment cover into place.
3. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours by placing the
handset on the base. The red Charging light comes on.
The handset is pre-registered to the base as HS 1 .
This is shown on the display. When the handset is fully
charged the display shows the
symbol.
4. After 16 hours, plug the telephone line cord into your
BT Freestyle 2500 base and the telephone wall socket.
Set the day and time
Your BT Freestyle 2500 answering machine automatically
adds the day and time to all messages and memos
recorded. The default setting is Saturday 12:01pm.
7 Getting started
The red Charging light stays on
even when the batteries are full
charged.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully
charged handset batteries should
give about 10 hours talktime or
100 hours standby on a single
charge.
Battery low warning
If the symbol is flashing, you
will need to recharge your handset
before using it.
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time
(after the initial 16 hour charge).
New NiMH batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days
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, so
reducing the talk/standby time of
the handset. Eventually they will
need to be replaced. New batteries
can be obtained from the BT
Freestyle Helpline 0870 240 3962.
