WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle
2200 in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
Handset range
The handset reception range from
the base is up to 300m outdoors
and up to 50m indoors. Thick stone
walls can severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset
screen indicates when you are in
range. When you are out of range,
it flashes and the screen displays
OUT OF RANGE.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until at least one of the handsets is
fully charged.
The base station must be plugged
into the mains power at all times.
Location
You need to place your BT Freestyle 2200 within 2
metres of a mains power and telephone socket so that
the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical appliances to avoid interference.
Your BT Freestyle 2200 works by sending radio signals
between the handset and base. The strength of the
signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as
high as possible ensures the best signal.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cable into the base and plug the
other end into the mains power socket.

Which socket?

Telephone line socket

2. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the
handset. Slide the battery compartment cover into place.
3. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours by placing the
handset on the base. The red Charging light comes on.
The handset is pre-registered to the base as
HS 1
.
This is shown on the display. When the handset is fully
charged the display shows the symbol.
4. After 16 hours, plug the telephone line cord into your
BT Freestyle 2200 base and the telephone wall socket.
Your BTFreestyle 2200 is now ready for use.
7Getting started
When the handset is in the base or
charger, the red Charging light
stays on and the battery icon in the
display continues to cycle from 1
to 3 bars even when the batteries
are full charged.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully
charged handset batteries should
give about 10 hours talktime or 100
hours standby on a single charge.
Battery low warning
If the symbol is flashing, you
will need to recharge your handset
before using it.
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time
(after the initial 16 hour charge).
New NiMH batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days
Running the batteries right down
at least once a week will help them
last as long as possible.
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. New batteries
can be obtained from the BT
Freestyle Helpline 0870 240 3962.
