• Press and hold the base unit PAGE button for 5 seconds until both the POWER/IN USE light on the base unit and the light on the handset begin to ﬂash.

Freestyle 6 – 4th Edition – 3rd September – 3948

Once your Freestyle 6 additional handset has been registered to your base unit it cannot be reregistered to another base unit.

To set the handset number

Each additional handset must be assigned an identity number (2, 3 or 4). Your Freestyle 60 or 65 handset is already registered as HANDSET

1. A Freestyle 6 additional handset is pre-set as HANDSET 2. However, further additional handsets can be numbered as they are added.

• Press the DIRECTORY button.

• Press the SECRECY button.

• Enter the handset number between (2 and 4).

• Press the DIRECTORY button. You will hear a beep conﬁrming that the new number has been stored.

Check that your Freestyle 6 handset is registered correctly by pressing the TALK button and listening for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone your Freestyle 6 handset is either out of range of the base unit or it has not been registered properly, or the base unit line cord is not plugged in.

Make a note of the handset number by writing it on the quickdial label on the additional handset’s charger.

The handset range is up to 250 metres from the base unit in ideal conditions. If you start to go out of range while using the phone, you will hear warning beeps. Move closer to the base unit. If you do not move back into range your call may be disconnected.

Your Freestyle 6 automatically scans the available radio channels and selects the best quality reception to use.

Your Freestyle 6 additional handset uses a compact aerial which can be pulled out to obtain the best signal and reception available.
