SETTING UP
Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your Freestyle 2000 ready for use
Pla the locatio of your
Freestyle 2000
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 ote
The Freestyle 2000 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.
Plug the power cable into the power socket on
the back of your Freestyle Alarm Clock Radio
Charger.
For more information on the charger, please
refer to the separate ‘Freestyle Alarm Clock
Radio and Charger user guide’.
Plug the adaptor into the mains power supply
and switch on.

SETTING UP
The handset uses two rechargeable Nickel
Metal Hydride(Ni-MH) AAAbatteries which
are supplied. Take care to insert the batteries
as shown and then fit the battery cover (the
battery cover may be found in the packaging
with the batteries).
Before you use your Freestyle 2000 for the
first time, it is important to have the handset
batteries fully charged. The batteries need to
charge continuously for at least 16 hours to
reach full charge.
Place the handset on the Alarm Clock Radio
Charger and leave to charge for at least 16
hours.
The battery symbol is also shown on the
display. It flashes during charging. Once the
handset is fully charged, the display shows a
full battery symbol and REGISTER!

flashi g
Battery low war i g
If the handset battery symbol is empty and
flashing, and you hear a warning beep every
10 seconds, you will need to recharge your
handset before you can use it.
Battery performa ce
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.
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.
