WARNING

Do not place your BT Freestyle 210 in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Handset range

The BT Freestyle 210 has a range of 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and the handset. Any obstruction between the base and handset will reduce the range significantly. With the base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.

Signal strength

icon on your handset screen

The indicates when you are in range. When you are out of range, the symbol flashes, and the screen displays Searching. You should move closer to the base if this happens t full functionality of your phone.

IMPORTANT

Do not connect the telephone line until at least one of the handsets is fully charged.

The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times.

Location

You need to place your BT Freestyle 210 base within 2 metres of a mains power and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your BT Freestyle 210 works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.

Setting up

1. Plug the mains power cable into the power socket on the back of the base. Plug the other end into the mains socket and switch on.

7Getting started

2. Batteries will come inserted in the battery compartment. Pull the plastic tag as instructed to activate the batteries.

3. Place the handset on the base to charge the batteries for at least 16 hours.

The main handset is pre-registered to the base as –1– (Handset 1). This is shown on the display. When the handset is fully charged the display shows the symbol.

4. After 16 hours, connect the telephone line cord to the base and plug the other end into the wall socket.

Telephone line cord

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give about 10 hours talk time or 100 hours standby time on a single charge.

Battery low warning

If the symbol is flashing, you will need to recharge your handset before using it.

Battery performance

To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge).

New NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days. Running the batteries right down at leas a week will help them last as long as possible.

IMPORTANT

Only use the power supply and telephone line cord supplied with your BT Freestyle 210 otherwise the telephone may not work.

BT Freestyle 210 – Issue 02 Ed 1 – 02.01.07 – 7971

General information

IMPORTANT

The BT Freestyle 210 digital cordless telephone is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the power fails.

This product is intended for connection to analogue public switched telephone networks and private switchboards in the United Kingdom.

Safety

• Only use the power supply supplied with your BT

Freestyle 210. Using an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.

• Only use the telephone line cord supplied with your

BT Freestyle 210, otherwise your telephone may not work correctly.

• For the handset, use only AAA Nickel Metal Hydride

(NiMH) rechargeable batteries with a minimum capacity of 600mAh. Never use other batteries or conventional alkaline batteries as this could lead to a short circuit or destroy the battery casing.

• If the keylock is switched on, it is only possible to

make calls to emergency numbers (999/112).

• Do not open the handset (except to replace the

handset batteries). This could expose you to high voltages or other risks.

• Radio signals transmitted between the handset and

base may cause interference to hearing aids.

• It is recommended that advice from a qualified expert

be sought before using this product in the vicinity of emergency/intensive care medical equipment.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 240 3962 or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com

• It is recommended that if you have a pacemaker fitted

you check with a medical expert before using this product.

• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious

risk of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.

Cleaning

Simply clean the handset and base with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an anti-static wipe. Never use household polish as this will damage the product. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

Environmental

• Do not expose to direct sunlight.

• The BT Freestyle 210 handset may become warm

when the batteries are being recharged. This is normal. We recommend that you do not place the product on antique/veneered wood to avoid damage.

• Do not stand your product on carpets or other
