Out of range?

If you go out of range of a base stationfor a long time while your handset isswitched ON, it may take more than20 minutes to ‘find’ the base stationagain when you come back withinrange. However, by simply switchingthe handset OFF for a moment, thenON again, it will find the base stationwithin a few seconds.

Battery level icons

When the batteries are almost flat abeep sounds and the display shows theempty battery icon. You will need torecharge your handset before you canuse it. The various states of chargeare shown below:

Batteries fully charged

Batteries at 66%

Batteries at 33%

Batteries empty

Battery performance

Batteries and case may become warmduring charging. This is normal.

Under ideal conditions, the handsetbatteries should give about 13 hourstalktime or 170 hours standby timeon a single charge. However, newNiMH batteries do not reach their fullcapacity until they have been innormal use for several days.

The charge capacity of rechargeablebatteries will reduce with time as theywear out, so reducing the talk/standbytime of the handset. Eventually theywill need to be replaced. New batteriesare available fromwww.withandwithoutwires.comor call 0870 240 5522.

If you replace the handset batteries with ones that have been fully charged,the battery indicator will not show fulluntil the next charge cycle has beencompleted. Charge the handset untilthe batteries register full again. Fromthen on the display will be correct.

If the icons on the display flash continuously...

It means that the handset is notregistered with the base station.

Ensure you have correctly carried outstep 3. If the product has still notregistered, please see “Registeringmanually” on page 78.

All additional handsets you purchasewill need to be individually registeredwith the base station before they willwork with the BT Diverse 5450.
