3 Insert battery in base
unit (for back-up only)
9V
To fit the back-up battery, release the retaining clips, lift off the battery compartment cover and insert one new PP3 alkaline battery (not supplied) as shown in the diagram above. Replace the battery compartment cover.
A good quality, fresh battery should last about six months. To ensure constant battery back-up, replace it every six months.
If your Freestyle 90 is your only phone, you should fit a back-up battery in the base unit so that your phone can always be used in emergencies.
If the power fails, the back-up battery will give you up to one hour talktime or seven hours on standby.
Setting up
Like all cordless phones, your Freestyle 90 handset will need charging for 24 hours before use.
1 Handset aerial
✖
Your Freestyle 90 uses a compact aerial which does not pull out.
2 Check your telephone wall socket
If you do not have a modern phone socket, call BT on Freefone 0800 800 150 and ask for an engineer to come and fit the right socket within two metres of a mains socket. This is a chargeable service.
