Maintenance

Installing a handset battery pack and recharging

The handset battery compartment is located at the back of the handset at the lower end.

To change the handset battery pack

Replacing the handset on the base unit to recharge overnight should keep the Freestyle 70 operative for normal use. In time the handset battery pack will no longer hold a sufficient charge and should be replaced.

•Firmly hold the handset in both hands with the back towards you and the bottom end away from you.

•Push the depression in the battery compartment cover, inward and away from you with both thumbs, to remove it.

•Undo the plastic belt securing the battery pack.

•Remove the old battery pack by unplugging the small white plug that connects it to the handset.

•Insert the small white plug of the new battery pack. (If you look at the shape of the plug and socket you will see that it can only be inserted one way).

•Place the battery pack in the recess, secure it with the plastic belt and refit the compartment cover.

•Replace the handset on the base unit and charge for a full 24 hours.

•The battery pack must be recycled or disposed of properly.

•Do not burn or puncture as it could release toxic material which may cause injury.

Care of rechargeable battery pack

•When you first setup the Freestyle 70, or replace the battery pack, the handset must be fully charged for 24 hours before use.

•To maintain optimum charge and battery condition, the handset should be allowed to fully discharge about every four months.

•Dispose of Ni-Cad battery packs safely. Do not puncture or burn them. They contain toxic materials which could cause injury.

Cleaning the charging contacts

•Wipe the casing clean with a damp, not wet cloth.

•Check that the charging contacts on the base and the handset are clean. If necessary wipe them with a dry cloth.

•Do not use spray or abrasive cleaners as damage to the internal components or polished surfaces could result.
