6 Getting started
WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle 335 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Freestyle 335 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
The symbol on your handset screen 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 to ensure the 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 335 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 335 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 and secure the cable behind the retaining clip. Plug the other end into the mains socket and switch on.
Mains power cable
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0800 218 2182 or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com

|
|
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 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 |
Which socket?
Power socket
Telephone line socket
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 least once 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 335 otherwise the telephone may not work.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0800 218 2182 or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com
8 Getting started

Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
