Freestyle 2000 Handset & Alarm Clock Radio Charger ~ 3rd Edition ~ 18.06.03 ~ 5501

2Install the rechargeable batteries in the handset

The handset uses two rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) AAA batteries which are supplied. Take care to insert the batteries as shown and then fit the battery cover (the battery cover may be found in the packaging with the batteries).

3Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 hours

Before you use your Freestyle 2000 for the first time, it is important to have the handset batteries fully charged. The batteries need to charge continuously for at least 16 hours to reach full charge.

Place the handset on the Alarm Clock Radio Charger and leave to charge for at least 16 hours.

The battery symbol is also shown on the display. It flashes during charging. Once the handset is fully charged, the display shows a full battery symbol and REGISTER!

Battery low warning

If the handset battery symbol is empty and flashing, and you hear a warning beep every 10 seconds, you will need to recharge your handset before you can use it.

Battery performance

Under no circumstances should non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only use the approved batteries, type: rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH); Size AAA; Capacity 600 mAh. Using unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the telephone.

To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the charger for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge).

Please note, however, that new Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

Fully discharging the batteries at least once a week will help them to last as long as possible. However, the charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, so reducing the talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
