To plan the location of the base unit

Your Freestyle 90 works by sending and receiving radio signals between the base unit and the handset.

The strength of the signal depends on where you site the base unit and how the aerial is deployed. The higher the base unit is located, the better. An upstairs room is ideal. The following points should be considered:

•It should be within easy reach of a mains socket and a telephone socket. A new style telephone socket is needed for this product. If you do not have one, call us on

Freefone 0800 800 150.

•Try to avoid locations near metallic obstructions or electrical appliances, such as TV sets, fridges, computers, fluorescent lights, radiators, metal pipes and metal window frames.

•The Freestyle 90 can be wall mounted by using the bracket and screws supplied; see page 33.
