Plug the large mains power cable into the socket marked
on the underside of the base and plug the other end into the
mains power wall socket and switch the power on.
Connecting the handset and charger
If you have purchased a multiple pack, this process will need
to be carried out for all handsets and chargers:
1. Plug the small mains power cable into the socket marked
on the underside of the charger.
2. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset.
Then slide the compartment cover into place.
3. Place the handset on the charger to charge for at least 24 hours.
When the handset is fully charged the icon will indicate that
it is fully charged.
4. After 24 hours, plug the telephone line cord from the large
base into the telephone wall socket.
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 Aqua Helpline on
0870 605 8047.
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.
