BT Freestyle 70 - Manual (Page 6)

Your Freestyle 70 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.
The following points should be considered:
• It should be within easy reach of a mains
socket and a telephone socket. A new-style
telephone socket is needed for this product.
If you do not have one, call us on
Freefone 0800 800 150
.
• Try to avoid locations near metallic obstructions
or electrical appliances, such as TV sets,
fridges, computers, fluorescent lights, radiators,
metal pipes and metal window frames.
• The Freestyle 70 can be wall mounted by
using the bracket and screws supplied;
see page 17.
Your Freestyle 70 is now ready for use
BATTERY CARE
The battery cannot be overcharged. However,
leaving the handset on the base unit all the time
can deteriorate a rechargeable battery. To get
the longest possible life from your battery, take
the handset off the base unit for a few hours
each day.
Extend the base unit telescopic aerial on your
Freestyle 70 (as shown above) to ensure the best
possible signal and reception.
