Registering your handset
You must register your Freestyle 6 additional
handset before it can be used with your Freestyle
60 or 65 base unit. Make sure that each additional
handset is registered with a different number
(2, 3 or 4) to be used when transferring calls,
so it can be identified from other additional
handsets, see page 3.
To register an additional handset
• Please ensure that you have only the handset
you wish to register ready when following the
instructions below.
• 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.
• Release the PAGE button and press the
TALK button on the additional handset you
wish to register.
• Your additional handset is registered
automatically and you will hear a long
confirmation beep and the light will stop
flashing.

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.
To end a call
• Press the TALK button.
Or
• Replace the handset on the base unit.
