Setting up
1 Installing the batteries
Your Freeway handset is supplied with 4 x AAA (alkaline) batteries or a Freeway rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack depending on which version you have purchased.
Note
Please note that alkaline batteries will require replacing and can NOT be used with the Freeway charger.
The typical battery capacity of an AAA alkaline battery is approximately twice that of an AAA size Ni-MH battery. The battery life for the Freeway is approximately 21 hours using alkaline batteries and approximately half this using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
The Freeway handset can be charged when it is switched on or off, however, it will take longer to fully charge the battery pack if the handset is left switched on.
To fully charge the battery pack, from a fully discharged state takes around 14 to 16 hours.
The lights on the Freeway charger will stay lit even when the battery pack is fully charged.
