Section 7
Location
You need to place your BT Freestyle 7150 base station close enough to 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 7150 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 adaptor into the socket marked 
on the back of the base. Plug the other end into the mains wall socket and switch on. The Power/In Use and Message indicators light up.
Power adaptor cable
WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle 7150 base in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Freestyle 7150 has a range of 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 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 and there is a beep.
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.
