Emergency calls

The emergency services can be

contacted in the UK by dialling 999.

You may also dial 112, which is valid

in any country that is a member of the

European Community.

As the Freestyle 1200 is a mains-

powered cordless telephone, in certain

situations you may not be able to make

an emergency call:

•If there is severe radio interference.

•If the handset batteries fail.

•If there is a power cut and there is no

back-up battery in the base unit.

If your Freestyle 1200 is connected to a

PBX (switchboard), you may have to

dial an access number before 999 to

contact the emergency services.

Some switchboards cannot dial out

during a power failure.
