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

Setting up

Follow these steps to set up your Freestyle 2000 ready for use

Connect the power cable

Plan the location of your

Freestyle 2000

Plug the power cable into the power socket on

the back of your Freestyle Alarm Clock Radio

Charger.

The following points should be considered:

•

Situate your product close enough to the

power socket so that the cable will reach

safely without stretching. Ensure that you

plan the location so that the mains power

is easily accessible in case you need to

disconnect the power.

•

Make sure it is at least 1 metre

away from other electrical products

to avoid interference.

Please note

The Freestyle 2000 has a range of up to 300

metres outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors.

The range will be reduced when there is no

clear line of sight between the base and

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.

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).

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.

Charge the handset batteries

for at least 16 hours

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).

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.

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.

Place the handset on the Alarm Clock Radio

Charger and leave to charge for at least 16

hours.

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
