This user guide applies to both single and
multiple handset systems. The internal call
functions described in this guide apply only to
Freestyle 2010 base stations with more than
one handset connected.

Important

If you wear a hearing aid, please note that the
Freestyle 2010 works by sending radio signals
between the base station and the handset. These
signals may interfere with some hearing aids,
causing a humming noise.

Helpline on 0870 240 3962 or email
[e-mail]

Safety information

General

Only use the power supply included
with the product. Using an unauthorised
power supply will invalidate your guarantee
and may damage the telephone. The item
number for the mains power supply is

005977.

Only use the approved rechargeable
batteries supplied. Spare rechargeable
batteries – are available from the Freestyle
Helpline 0870 240 3962.

If the keypad is locked, it is STILL possible
to make emergency calls to 999 and 112.

Do not open the handset (except to replace
the handset batteries) or base station. This
could expose you to high voltages or other
risks. Contact the helpline for all repairs.

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.

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 station
with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an antistatic
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 product may heat up when the batteries
are being recharged or during prolonged
periods of use. This is normal. However, 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
surfaces which generate fibres, or place it in
locations preventing free flow of air over its
surfaces.

Do not submerge any part of your product in
water and do not use it in damp or humid
conditions, such as in bathrooms.

Do not expose your product to fire, explosive
or other hazardous conditions.

There is a slight chance that your phone
could be damaged by an electrical storm.
We recommend that you unplug the power
and telephone line cord for the duration of
the storm.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Setting up

Follow these steps to set up your Freestyle 2010 ready for use

Plan the location of your
Freestyle 2010

The following points should be considered:

• Situate your product close enough to the
power socket so that the cable will reach
safely without stretching. Ensure that you
plan the location so that the mains power
is easily accessible in case you need to
disconnect the power.

• Make sure it is at least 1 metre
away from other electrical products
to avoid interference.

SETTING UP

Please note

The Freestyle 2010 has a range of up to 300
metres outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors.
The range will be reduced when there is no
clear line of sight between the base and
handset. Thick stone walls can severely affect
the range.

Connect the power cable

1

Plug the power cable into the power socket on
your Freestyle base station and route the cord
around the catch at the top as shown.

Plug the adaptor into the mains power supply
and switch on.

9

Install the rechargeable

2

batteries in the handset

The handset uses two rechargeable Nickel
Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) AAA batteries which
are supplied. Take care to insert the batteries
as shown and then fit the battery cover (the
battery cover may be found in the packaging
with the batteries).

Charge the handset batteries

3

for at least 16 hours

Before you use your Freestyle 2010 for the
first time, it is important to have the handset
batteries fully charged. The batteries need to
charge continuously for at least 16 hours to
reach full charge.

Place the handset on the base. The handset
comes pre-registered to the base station as
FREESTYLE 1. This is shown on the display.

The battery symbol is also shown on the
display. It flashes during charging. Once the
handset is fully charged, the display shows a
full battery symbol.

Battery levels

Empty 33% 66% 100%

flashing

Battery low warning.

If the handset battery symbol is empty and
flashing, and you hear a warning beep ever y
10 seconds, you will need to recharge your
handset before you can use it.

Battery performance

Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use
the approved batteries, type: rechargeable
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH); Size AAA;
Capacity 600 mAh. Using unapproved
batteries will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.

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

Please note, however, that new Nickel Metal
Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries do not reach their
full capacity until they have been in normal
use for several days.

Fully discharging the batteries at least once
a week will help them to last as long as
possible. However, the charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will reduce with time
as they wear out, so reducing the
talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually

they will need to be replaced.

Under ideal conditions, the handset battery
should give about 12 hours talktime or 120
hours standby on a single charge. Optimum
times for talk and standby are only achieved
when the handset batteries are new and fully
charged.

Connect the telephone line cord

Connect the telephone

line cord to the Freestyle
2010 base station

Plug the line cord into the line socket on your
Freestyle base station.

SETTING UP

Please note

It is recommended that you do not connect
the telephone line cord to the phone socket
until your handset is fully charged. This will
prevent the risk of the batteries discharging
during a conversation, which would cause
you to lose the call.

If you do not have modern phone sockets, call
Freefone 0800 800 150 and ask for a BT
engineer to come and fit the correct type. This
is a chargeable service.

Your Freestyle 2010 is now ready for use

Pre-set PINs

Your Freestyle 2010 comes with a pre-set
PIN which you will need to use to perform
various functions on your phone.

When you enter the PIN, the display will not
show it for security reasons.

The PIN, pre-set to 0000, is used when
adjusting base station settings and
registering new handsets. It can be changed.

To use Caller Display or Call Waiting you must
first subscribe to your network provider's Caller

For more information on BT’s Select Services,
call BT free on 0800 800 150.

Using Caller Display

If you subscribe to a Caller Display Service
you can see your caller’s number (provided it
is not withheld) on your handset display
before you answer the call. If you have your
caller’s name and number stored in your
personal directory, you will see the name of
your caller displayed instead of the number.
(Please note your Freestyle 2010 will not
match incoming numbers to names stored in
the shared directory.)

When a call is not answered (or is answered on
a telephone on another extension), your caller’s
telephone number (or name if stored in the
directory) will be stored in a Calls list. The
Calls list holds up to 10 calls. When the Calls
list is full the oldest call will be replaced by a
new call, but the latest call will always be at the
top of the list. If a caller rings again their number
or (name) will move to the top of the list.
