Getting started

WARNING

Do not place your BT Freestyle 2200 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. 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.

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?

Power socket

Telephone line socket

Location

You need to place your BT Freestyle 2200 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 2200 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 base and plug the other end into the mains power socket.

7Getting started

2. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset. Slide the battery compartment cover into place.

3. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours by placing the handset on the base. The red Charging light comes on.

The handset is pre-registered to the base as

HS 1

. This is shown on the display. When the handset is fully charged the display shows the symbol.

4. After 16 hours, plug the telephone line cord into your BT Freestyle 2200 base and the telephone wall socket.

Your BT Freestyle 2200 is now ready for use.

When the handset is in the base or charger, the red Charging light stays on and the battery icon in the display continues to cycle from 1 to 3 bars even when the batteries are full charged.

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give about 10 hours talktime or 100 hours standby 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.

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. New batteries can be obtained from the BT Freestyle Helpline 0870 240 3962.
