Setting up
Setting upFollow these steps and your Freestyle 320 Plus
will be ready for use.
Check that your Freestyle 320 Plus is complete.
When you unpack you must have:
• base unit with telescopic aerial and
telephone line cord attached;
• handset;
• 13 amp mains power adaptor plug;
• stand/wall-mounting bracket;
• two screws and wall plugs for wall-mounting;
• spare directory label.
Important: Before you use your Freestyle 320 Plus
As this product is rechargeable, it is normal that a
certain amount of heat will be produced in its dayto-day operation. Whilst this is entirely safe we
would advise against placing this product on
antique, veneered or wooden surfaces as damage
may occur.
Plan the location of the base unit. The following
points should be considered:
• The base unit should be within two metres of a
power socket and the phone socket. A new-style
phone line socket is needed for this product.
If you do not have one, call us free on FREEfone
0800 800150.
• There should be enough room for the telescopic
aerial to be fully extended, ideally vertically.
• Ensure that the base unit and the aerial are away
from TV sets, fridges, computers, GSM telephones,
fluorescent lights, radiators, metal pipes and
metal window frames.
• If your Freestyle 320 Plus is your only phone, you
must fit back-up batteries in case of power cuts.
The required battery type is a PP3 Alkaline 9V
(not supplied).
• The back up battery must be fitted before
attaching the base unit to the mounting bracket.

Like all cordless phones, the Freestyle 320 Plus
handset must be charged for 24 hours before
first use.
2 Check your telephone wall
socket
If you do not have a modern socket, call BT on
Freephone 0800 800 150 and ask for an
engineer to come and fit the right socket within
two metres of a mains socket. This is a
chargeable service.

BATTERY
3 Insert battery (for back up only)
The battery provides back-up power to ensure that
your Freestyle 320 Plus will work in the event of a
mains power failure. We strongly advise you to fit a
battery if a cordless phone is the only phone in your
home.
Open the panel underneath the base unit.
Fit a PP3 Alkaline 9 volt battery (not supplied)
and replace the panel. The battery will only
be connected and functioning when the cover
is closed.

Cautions
1.Do not use any power adaptor except the
one supplied, as this may cause irreparable
damage to your Freestyle 320 Plus.
2.Your Freestyle 320 Plus is mains powered
and should not be installed in wet or damp
conditions, for example in a bathroom.
Also, the handset should not be left out in
the rain.
3.There is a slight chance that your phone
could be damaged by an electrical storm.
We recommend that you unplug the unit
from the mains during such storms.
Your Freestyle 320 Plus features a safety clip on
the underside of the base which prevents the
stand coming away from the unit accidentally.
When attaching the stand make sure that it
snaps securely into position over the clip.
If you prefer to mount your Freestyle 320 Plus
on the wall, see page 9.

large metallic objects such as cookers, radiators
and garage doors as these may cause interference
and reduce the quality of your calls.

the memory and change some of the settings
as desired.
10 Plug into the phone socket 11 Wall mounting your Freestyle
320 Plus (optional)
Your Freestyle 320 Plus can be wall mounted
by using the stand/bracket provided.
Use the stand/bracket as a template to mark
where you will put the screws into the wall.
Using the inductive coupler
Your Freestyle 320 Plus is fitted with an
inductive coupler in its handset to
improve sound quality for people using
hearing aids. Switch your hearing aid to T and
adjust the position of the handset until you obtain
the best sound.
Before you wall-mount your Freestyle 320 Plus,
check:
• That the wall can support the weight of the
base unit and handset.
• That the position you choose leaves enough
space around the mounting bracket so that the
base unit (which is larger than the bracket) is
clear of anything on the wall, such as a shelf
or cupboard.
• That the position you choose leaves enough
space for the base unit telescopic aerial to be
fully extended.
