Call security
Your Freestyle 1050 has its own digital security code that prevents other cordless phone owners from using your phone line. This ensures that you are charged only for calls using your phone. However, all approved cordless phones use radio signals to communicate between the base unit and cordless handset units. It is therefore possible that your conversations could be overheard by other people, on their cordless phones, or on radios that use the same radio frequencies.
As this problem applies equally to all similar cordless phones currently available in the UK, call privacy cannot be guaranteed. However, the security coding prevents unauthorised use of your line.
In the unlikely event of your Freestyle 1050 picking up conversations from other cordless phones being used nearby, try changing channels using the CHANNEL button on the handset.
