Questions and answers
Phone showed batteries dead bought the correct new batteries but nothing happening on the phone after leaving them on for 20 hours
The BT XD56 phone may not be working after replacing the batteries due to the following reasons:
1. Batteries Not Activated Correctly – Ensure the batteries are properly installed.
2. Insufficient Charging – The handset batteries need to be charged for 16 hours initially.
3. Mains Power Not Connected – Check that the power supply is correctly plugged in.
4. Power Cut – If there was a power outage, place the handset on the base for ten seconds and try again. If it still doesn’t work, disconnect the batteries and mains power for ten minutes, then reconnect.
5. Incorrect Battery Type – If the batteries are old or not the correct type, they may need replacing.
Following these steps should help resolve the issue.

2. Incorrect System PIN – Check that you have entered the correct system PIN (default: 0000).
3. Interference – Keep the handset at least one metre away from other electrical equipment to avoid interference.
