Like all cordless phones, your Freestyle 1200 handset will need charging for 24 hours before initial use.

1 Handset aerial

✖

Your Freestyle 1200 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.

DAY HOUR MIN RESET

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 1200 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.

Note

If the power fails during a call, you will only be able to end the call by pressing the green TALK button.
