Before you use your BT Freelance XA 3000 for the first time, it is impor tant to have the handset batteries fully charged. The batteries need to charge continuously for at least 16 hours to reach full charge.
Place the handset on the base. The red charging light will come on. The handset comes pre-registered to the base station as HANDSET HS1. This is shown on the display. The icon and the batter y icon ar e shown on the display. Once the handset is fully charged, the display shows a full batter y symbol.
3 Charge the handset batteries
for at least 16 hours
2 Install the rechargeable
batteries in the handset
Battery low warning
If the handset battery symbol is empty and flashing, and you hear a warning beep every 10 seconds, you will need to recharge your handset before you can use it.
The handset uses two rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) AAA batteries which are supplied. Take care to inser t the batteries as shown and then fit the batter y cover (the batter y cover may be found in the packaging with the batteries).
Please note that the red charging light will remain on even when the batteries are fully charged.
BATTERY LEVELS
WEAK HALF-FULL FULL
Note
The symbol on your handset display indicates when you are in range of the base station. If the symbol flashes and you hear a warning beep, you are out of range and will need to move closer to the base station.
SETTING UP

5 Connect the telephone line cord
Battery performance
Under no circumstances should non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the approved batteries, type: rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH); size AAA; capacity 550mAh 1.2v. Using unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset of f the base station for a few hours at a time. (after the intial 16 hour charge).
Please note, however, that new Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.
Fully discharging the batteries at least once a week will help them last as long as possible. However, 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 Freelance Helpline 0870 605 8047.
Note: Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should give about 12 hours talktime or 200 hours standby on a single charge. Optimum times for talk and standby are only achieved when the handset batteries are fully charged.
Note
It is recommended that you do not connect the telephone line cord to the phone socket until your handset is fully charged. This will prevent the risk of the batteries discharging during a conversation, which could cause you to lose a call.
