Approval for use

Your Freestyle 70 is tested and approved for connection to public networks, provided it is used in accordance with the guidelines in this user guide.

You may connect it:

•To direct exchange lines.

•To extensions with new plug and socket arrangements provided with these direct exchange lines.

•To compatible switchboards.

How many phones can you have?

All items of telephone equipment have a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to calculate the number of items which may be connected to any one telephone line. Your Freestyle 70 has a REN of 1. A total REN of 4 is allowed. If the total REN of 4 is exceeded, the telephones may not ring. With different telephone types there is no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is less than 4.

You may NOT connect it:

•To shared service (party) lines.

•As an extension to a payphone.

This phone is designed for UK use only. Using it abroad may violate local radio laws.

The base unit is intended for use when powered from the 9V mains adaptor supplied, which conforms to EN60950. Any other usage will invalidate the approval given to this apparatus if, as a result, it ceases to comply with EN60950.

Connecting to a switchboard

Your Freestyle 70 may be connected to compatible switchboards. If in doubt, your switchboard supplier or maintainer should be able to offer help. Advice on connection to BT switching systems can be obtained by dialling BT on 152.

If you do not have a compatible switchboard, it cannot be guaranteed that your Freestyle 70 will operate correctly under all possible conditions of connection.

Environment

Your Freestyle 70 should be kept free of dust, moisture, high temperature and vibration, and should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Do not stand it on carpets or other surfaces which generate fibres, or place it in locations which prevent the free flow of air over its surfaces.

WARNING

The apparatus is only designed to be operated in a normal office or domestic environment where the relative humidity does not exceed 60%. It should not be used in bathrooms or near water.

Call security

Your Freestyle 70 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 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.

In the unlikely event of your Freestyle 70 picking up conversations from other cordless phones being used nearby, try changing channels using the CHANNEL button on the handset.
