Safety information

General

Only use the power supply included

with the product. Using an unauthorised

power supply will invalidate your guarantee

and may damage the telephone. The item

code for the Freestyle 2100 base station

mains power supply is 009294. The item code

for the Freestyle alarm clock radio charger

mains power supply is 009865.

Only use the approved rechargeable

batteries supplied. Spare rechargeable

batteries are available from the Freestyle

Helpline 0870 240 3962.

If the keypad is locked, it is NOT possible

to make emergency calls to 999 and 112.

Do not open the handset (except to replace

the handset batteries) or charger. This could

expose you to high voltages or other risks.

Contact the Helpline for all repairs.

Radio signals transmitted between the

handset and base may cause interference to

hearing aids.

It is recommended that advice from a

qualified expert be sought before using this

product in the vicinity of emergency/

intensive care medical equipment.

It is recommended that if you have a

pacemaker fitted you check with a medical

expert before using this product.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is

a serious risk of explosion and/or the release

of highly toxic chemicals.

Cleaning

Simply clean the handset and base 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 or during prolonged

periods of use. This is normal. However, we

recommend to avoid damage you do not place

the product on antique/ veneered wood.

Do not stand your product on carpets or other

surfaces which generate fibres, or place it in

locations preventing free flow of air over its

surfaces.

Do not submerge any part of your product in

water and do not use it in damp or humid

conditions, such as in bathrooms.

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.

If the handset has been set to Babysitter

mode it can only be used to dial the one

number that has been set. You will not be

able to make calls to 999 or 112 unless

you choose to store one of these numbers.

BT Freestyle 2100 ~ Issue 3 ~ 2nd Edition ~ 22nd July ’03 ~ 5563

Setting up

Follow these steps to set up your Freestyle 2100 ready for use

1Connect the base station

Plug the power supply cable into

the power socket on the underside

of your base.

2Plug the power supply unit into

the wall socket

Plan the location of your

Freestyle 2100

The following points should be considered:

• Situate your product close enough to the

power socket so that the cable will reach

safely without stretching. Ensure that you

plan the location so that the mains power

is easily accessible in case you need to

disconnect the power.

• Make sure it is at least 1 metre away

from other electrical products to avoid

interference.

Please note

The Freestyle 2100 has a range of up to 300

metres outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors.

The range will be reduced when there is no

clear line of sight between the base and

handset. Thick stone walls can severely affect

the range.

BT Freestyle 2100 ~ Issue 3 ~ 2nd Edition ~ 22nd July ’03 ~ 5563

3Install the rechargeable

batteries in the handset

The handset uses two rechargeable

Nickel Metal Hydride Ni-MH) AAA

batteries which are supplied. Take

care to insert the batteries as shown

and then fit the battery cover (this

can be found in the packaging with

the batteries).

Once the battery has been fully

charged (after the initial 16 hours)

and the handset is removed from

the base the battery icon will show

50%, this shows that the battery is

charging correctly.

4Charge the handset for at least

16 hours

Before you use your Freestyle 2100

for the first time, it is important to

have the batteries fully charged.

The batteries need to charge

continuously for at least 16 hours to

reach full charge.

Place the handset on the base, the

battery icon will initially show empty.

After a short time period the battery

icon will show 100%. This means

that the battery is charging and does

not mean that the handset is fully

charged.

Battery levels

Empty 50% 100%

flashing

Battery low warning

If the handset battery symbol is empty and

flashing, you will need to recharge your

handset before you can use it.

Battery performance

Under no circumstances should

non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use

the approved batteries, type: rechargeable

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH); Size AAA;

Capacity 600 mAh. Using unapproved

batteries will invalidate your guarantee and

may damage the telephone.

To keep your batteries in the best condition,

leave the handset off the charger for a few hours

at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge).

Please note, however, that new Nickel Metal

Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries do not reach their

full capacity until they have been in normal

use for several days.

BT Freestyle 2100 ~ Issue 3 ~ 2nd Edition ~ 22nd July ’03 ~ 5563

12

Please note

Under ideal conditions, the handset battery

should give about 10 hours talktime or 100

hours standby on a single charge. Optimum

time for talk and standby are only achieved

when the handset batteries are new and

fully charged.

5Connect the telephone line

cord to the base and plug into

the wall socket

Ensure that each end of the line cord

is fitted into the correct socket.

Battery performance (cont)

Fully discharging the batteries at least once

a week will help them to last as long as

possible. However, 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.

Babysitter mode

You can set your Freestyle 2100 handset to

dial only a single phone number that you have

stored in its memory. This prevents

unauthorised calls being made except to the

number you specify, this number could be

your mobile phone number or another number

where you can be reached. This feature could

be useful if you are leaving your children with

a babysitter and want to leave a contact

number, in case of emergencies.
