Getting started

Location

You need to place your BT Freestyle 7150 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 7150 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 adaptor into the socket marked
on the back of the base. Plug the other end into the mains
wall socket and switch on. The Power/In Use and Message
indicators light up.

Power adaptor cable

WARNING

Do not place your BT Freestyle
7150 base in the bathroom or
other humid areas.

Handset range

The BT Freestyle 7150 has a range
of 300 metres outdoors when there
is a clear line of sight between the
base and 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

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

IMPOR

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.

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.

On a full charge, your BT Freestyle
7150 handset gives up to 12 hours
talk time or up to 120 hours
standby.

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
