Getting started
WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle
6300 in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Freestyle 6300 has a range
of 300 metres outdoors when there
is a clear line of sight between the
base and handset. When there is
no clear line of sight between the
base and handset, e.g. base
indoors and handset either indoors
or outdoors, the range could be
reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone
walls will severely affect the range.
Range indicator
The symbol on your handset
display indicates when you are in
range of the base. If the symbol
flashes and you hear a warning
beep, you are out of range and will
need to move closer to the base.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until your handset is fully charged.
The base 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 6300 close enough
to 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 6300 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 can help to provide the best signal.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cable into the base. Then plug the
power adaptor into the wall socket and switch the power
on. The
Underside of base
Power/In use indicator on the base lights up.
Power adaptor cable

2. Remove the battery compartment cover and insert the
2 x AAA NiMH batteries (supplied) into the handset.
Slide the battery compartment cover back into place.
3. Charge the handset for at least 24 hours by placing it on
the base. The red
Charging indicator on the base lights
up and remains lit while the handset is on the base (even
when the battery is fully charged). When the handset is
fully charged the display will show a full battery icon.
4. After 24 hours, plug the telephone line cord into your BT
Freestyle 6300 base and the other end into the wall socket.
Line cord
Your BT Freestyle 6300 is now ready for use.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully charged
handset batteries should provide up
to 10 hours talk time or 100 hours
standby on a single charge.
Battery performance
Please note that new NiMH
batteries do not reach full capacity
until they have been in normal use
for several days.
To keep the batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off the
charger for a few hours at a time
(after the initial 24 hour charge).
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 605 8047.
Battery low warning
When the battery charge is low the
display will show
an empty battery icon . You will
also hear the battery low warning
beep. Place the handset back on
the base to recharge.
