General
•Only use the power supply included with the
product. Using an unauthorised power supply will
invalidate your guarantee and may damage the
telephone. The item code for the base mains
power supply is 015123. If you have purchased a
BT Freestyle 610 multiple pack, the item code for
the charger mains power supply is 015124.
•For the handset use only approved Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. Never
use other batteries or conventional alkaline
batteries. They could lead to a short circuit or
destroy the battery casing.
•Recommended batteries should have a power
rating of 550mAh 1.2V. Batteries are available
from the BT Freestyle 610 Helpline 0870 605
8047.
•Do not open the handset or base (other than to
change batteries). This could expose you to high
voltages or other risks. Contact the Helpline for
all repairs.
•It is recommended that advice from a qualified
medical expert be sought before using this
product in the vicinity of emergency/intensive
care medical equipment.
•It is recommended that if you have a pacemaker
fitted you check with a medical expert before
using this product.
•Your product may interfere with other electrical
equipment, e.g. TV and radio sets, clock/alarms

minimise any risk of interference.
•Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a
serious risk of explosion and/or the release of
highly toxic chemicals.
Hearing aid?
Please note that the BT Freestyle 610 works by
sending radio signals between the handset and base.
These signals may interfere with some hearing aids,
causing a humming noise.

emergency telephone calls when the power fails.
Alternative arrangements should be made for access

household polish as this will damage the product.
Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static
shock.
Environmental
