Safety information
General |
Cleaning |
Only use the power supply unit included with the product. Using an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone. The item number for the power supply unit is 872264.
For the handset use only approved rechargeable battery pack. Under no circumstances should nonrechargeable batteries be used. Using unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.
Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base may cause interference to some hearing aids.
Do not dismantle the handset or base station. This could expose you to high voltages or other risks. Contact the helpline for repairs.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals.
Simply clean the handset and base station with a damp (not wet) cloth, or an antistatic wipe. Never use household polish as this will damage the product. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.
Environmental
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
The product may heat up when the batteries are being recharged. This is normal. However, to avoid damage we recommend that you do not place the product on antique/veneered wood.
Do not expose your product to fire, explosive or other hazardous conditions.
There is a slight chance that your phone could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug the power and telephone line cord for the duration of the storm.

Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your Freestyle 60 ready for use.
Plan the location
Situate your Freestyle 60 close enough to the mains power socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical products to avoid interference.
Do not situate the product in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Your Freestyle 60 works by sending and receiving radio signals between the base unit and the handset.
The strength of the signal depends on where you site the base unit and how the aerial is deployed.
The higher the base unit is located, the better. An upstairs room is ideal.
Your product can be wall mounted, for more information see page 23.
1 Handset aerial
Your Freestyle 60 handset uses a compact aerial which we recommend you pull out to obtain the best signal and reception available.
