8Getting started

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.

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.

Which socket?

10 Getting started

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)
