WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle
2500 in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
Handset range
The handset reception range from
the base is up to 300m outdoors
and up to 50m indoors. Thick stone
walls can severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset
screen indicates when you are in
range. When you are out of range,
it flashes and the screen displays
OUT OF RANGE.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until at least one of the handsets is
fully charged.
The base station must be plugged
into the mains power at all times.
Location
You need to place your BT Freestyle 2500 within 2
metres of a mains power and telephone socket so that
the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical appliances to avoid interference.
Your BT Freestyle 2500 works by sending radio signals
between the handset and base. The strength of the
signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as
high as possible ensures the best signal.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cable into the base.
The green Power/In use light comes on and the
answering machine is switched On.
