Location
You need to place your BT Freestyle 350 within 2 metres of the mains power socket 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 350 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.Push the mains power cable into the socket on the underside of the base and plug the other end of the adaptor into the mains power wall socket and switch the power on.
WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle 350 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Freestyle 350 has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and 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 
icon on your handset indicates when you are in range of the base.
If you begin to move out of range, the 
icon will flash and the handset will beep.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line until the handset is fully charged.
Only use the power and telephone cables supplied with the product.
The base station must be plugged into the mains power socket at all times.
