WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle 4500
base in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
Handset range
The handset reception range from
the base is up to 300m outdoors
and up to 50m indoors.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset
screen indicates when you are in
range. When you are out of range,
it flashes and the screen displays
OUT OF RANGE and there is a beep.
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.
Which socket?

Getting started8
Location
You need to place your BT Freestyle 4500 base station
close enough to 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 4500 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 power adaptors into the base and any chargers
that come with your product.
5981 BT Freestyle 4500 [3-2] 16/4/04 3:11 pm Page 8
2. Plug the telephone line cord into the base.
Do not connect the other end to the wall socket until at
least one handset is fully charged.
3. Plug the power adaptors into the mains wall socket and
switch the power on. The green POWER/IN USE light on
the base comes on. The display alternates between
0
and
CL
. The answering machine is set to ON.
4. Install 2 X NiMH AAA batteries supplied into each
handset. Then slide the battery compartment cover into
place.

BT Freestyle 4500 ~ Issue 3 ~ Edition 2 ~ 07.04.04 ~ 6062
Getting started
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, the
handset batteries should give
about 12 hours talk time or 120
hours standby on a single charge.
(The base must remain plugged
into the mains at all times).
Please note that new NiMH
batteries do not reach full capacity
until they have been run down and
recharged a few times.
Battery low warning
When the handset battery symbol
is empty and flashing, you will
need to recharge the handset
battery 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).
Running the batteries right down
at least once a week will help them
last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will reduce
with time as they wear out, giving
the handset less talk/standby time.
Eventually they will need to be
replaced. New batteries are
available from the BT Freestyle
Helpline on 0870 240 3962.
After charging your handset for the
first time, subsequent charging
time is about 6-8 hours a day.
Batteries and handset may become
warm during charging. This is
normal.
If you remove and replace batteries
at anytime, the battery icon in the
display will always show that the
batteries are empty irrespective of
their actual state of charge. After
1 hour on charge the actual battery
state will be shown. Alternatively,
switch the handset off then on
(see page 18) and the true battery
state will be shown immediately.
5. Charge the handsets for at least 16 hours by placing the
handset on the base. The red CHARGING light comes
on. The handsets are pre-registered to the base.
If you have purchased either the BT Freestyle Twin,
Trio or Quad products the additional handsets will come
pre-registered to the base.
6. After 16 hours charging, plug the telephone line cord
into the wall socket.
Attach the belt clips (optional)
