2. At the base: Plug the mains power cord into the socket on the
underside of the base and plug the other end into the mains
power wall socket (the base must be plugged into the mains
at all times). The green Power/In use light comes on and you
will hear a confirmation tone.
Getting started
Replace the battery cover: hook the two plastic clips into
place first, then lower and screw the cover into place. Finally,
screw the belt clip on. You can use a coin, e.g. 10p piece if
you don’t have a screwdriver.
WARNING
Do not place your BT Elements base
in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Battery low warning
If the symbol flashes in the
display and you hear a warning beep
every minute, you will need to
recharge the handset before you can
use it again.
During charging, the
symbol
will scroll in the display.
Battery performance
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. From a rundown
state the handset may take a minute
or so to power up the display.
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
Elements Helpline on 0870 605
8047.
After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging time
is about 6–8 hours a day dependant
on usage. Batteries and handset may
become warm during charging. This
is normal.
