Battery performance
•  Running the battery right down 
once every 3-6 months will help 
it last as long as possible.
•  After charging your handset 
for the first time, subsequent 
charging time for the battery is 
approximately 8 hours.
•  The charge capacity of a 
rechargeable battery will go 
down over time, which will 
reduce the talk and standby 
time. Eventually it will need 
replacing. For details on how to 
get replacement batteries,  
call the Helpline on  
0800 145 6789*.
If you ever need to remove the 
battery, unscrew the belt clip and 
battery cover and gently lift the 
battery out of the compartment. 
Please screw the battery cover back 
on firmly but not over-tightened after 
replacing the battery to maintain the 
IP67 waterproof rating.
Caution
Don’t immerse battery in water, 
throw it into a fire or dispose with 
ordinary domestic refuse. BT accepts 
no responsibility for damage caused 
to your BT Elements 1K by using any 
other type of battery. There is a risk 
of explosion if an incorrect battery 
is fitted.
  Select Yes by pressing the Left option button if you

started.
