WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle 335 in
the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Freestyle 335 has a range of
300 metres outdoors when there is a
clear line of sight between the base
and the handset. Any obstruction
between the base and handset will
reduce the range significantly. With
the base indoors and handset either
indoors or outdoors, the range will
normally be up to 50 metres. 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, the symbol
flashes, and the screen displays
Searching. You should move closer to
the base if this happens to ensure the
full functionality of your phone.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until at least one of the handsets is
fully charged.
The base station mustbe plugged into
the mains power at all times.
Location
You need to place your BT Freestyle 335 base 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 335 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 power socket on the back
of the base and secure the cable behind the retaining clip.
Plug the other end intothe mains socket and switch on.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0800 218 2182 or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com
Mains power cable

2. Batteries will come inserted in the battery compartment.
Pull the plastic tag as instructed to activate the batteries.
3. Place the handset on the base to charge the batteries for
at least 16 hours.
The main handset is pre-registered to the base as Handset 1.
This is shown on the display. When the handset
is fully charged the display shows the symbol.
4. After 16 hours, connect the telephone line cord to the base
and plug the other end into the wall socket.
7Getting started
Which socket?
Power socket
Telephone line socket
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully charged
handset batteries should give about 10
hours talk time or 100 hours standby
time 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 hoursat 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
aweek will help them last as long
as possible.
IMPORTANT
Only use the power supply and
telephone line cord supplied with your
BT Freestyle 335 otherwise the
telephone may not work.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0800 218 2182 or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com
Telephone line cord

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 0800 218 2182.
Batteries and handset may become
warm during charging. This is normal.
Your BT Freestyle 335 uses the
24 hour clock.
