Note
When fully charged and in good condition, the handset will provide up to 7 hours talktime or 72 hours standby.
If the handset battery is running low, the light on the handset will flash every
If you are making a call and the handset battery is running low you will hear a warning tone every
Place the handset on the base unit to recharge.
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. New batteries can be obtained from the Helpline.
To get the longest possible life from your battery, leave the handset off the base unit for a few hours each day.
Call security
Your Freestyle 65 has its own digital security code that prevents other cordless phone owners from using your phone line. This ensures that you are charged only for calls using your phone. However, all approved cordless phones use radio signals to communicate between the base unit and cordless handset units. It is therefore possible that
your conversations could be overheard by other people, on their cordless phones, or on ordinary radios that use the same radio frequencies.
As this problem applies equally to all similar cordless phones currently available in the UK, call privacy cannot be guaranteed. However, the security coding prevents unauthorised use of your line.
Switchboard compatibility
This product is intended for use within the UK for connection to the public telephone network and compatible switchboards, which support tone and pulse dialling and timed break recall. If in doubt please consult your service provider.
