WARNING
Location
Do not place your BT Freestyle 4100
base in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
You need to place your BT Freestyle 4100 base station
close enough to a mains power and telephone socket so
that the cables will reach.
Handset range
The handset reception range from
the base is up to 300m outdoors
and up to 50m indoors.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical appliances to avoid interference.
Your BT Freestyle 4100 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.
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
OUTOFRANGEand there is a beep.
IMPORTANT
Setting up
Do not connect the telephone line
until at least one of the handsets is
fully charged.
1. Plug the power adaptors into the base and any chargers
that come with your product.
The base station must be plugged
into the mains power at all times.

Talk/Standby time
2. Plug the telephone line cord into the base.
Under ideal conditions, the
handset batteries should give
about 12 hours talk time or 120
hours standby on a single charge.
(The base must remain plugged
into the mains at all times).
Please note that new NiMH
batteries do not reach full capacity
until they have been run down and
recharged a few times.
Do not connect the other end to the wall socket yet.
Battery low warning
When the handset battery symbol
is empty and flashing, you will
need to recharge the handset
battery before using it.
3. Plug the power adaptors into the mains wall socket and
switch the power on. The green POWER/IN USE light on
the base comes on.
4. Install 2 X NiMH AAA batteries supplied into each
handset. Then slide the battery compartment cover into
place.

Battery performance
5. Charge the handsets for at least 16 hours by placing the
handset on the base. The red CHARGING light comes
on. The handsets are pre-registered to the base.
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time
(after the initial 16 hour charge).
If you have purchased either the BT Freestyle Twin,
Trio or Quad products the additional handsets will come
pre-registered to the base.
Running the batteries right down
at least once a week will help them
last as long as possible.
The charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will reduce
with time as they wear out, giving
the handset less talk/standby time.
Eventually they will need to be
replaced. New batteries are

IMPORTANT
Caller information not available
To use Caller Display you must first
subscribe to your network provider’s
Caller Display service. A quarterly
fee is payable.
With some incoming calls, the telephone number of the
caller is not available and cannot therefore be displayed.
For more information on BT’s
Calling Features, call BT free on
0800 800 150.
In this case your BT Freestyle 4100 provides you with
some explanatory information:
UNAVAILABLE– The number is unavailable.
WITHHELD– The caller has withheld their number.
RINGBACK– Ringback call.
OPERATOR– The call has been made via the operator.
PAYPHONE– The caller is ringing from a payphone.
INTERNATIONAL– International call.
Using Caller Display
If you subscribe to a Caller Display service, you can see
your caller’s number (provided it is not withheld) on your
handset display before you answer the call.
When a call is received your caller’s telephone number
will be stored in a Calls list. The Calls list holds up to 40
calls. When the Calls list is full, the oldest call will be
replaced by a new call, but the latest call will always be
at the top of the list. If a caller rings again their number
will move to the top of the list.

SMS texting
Replying to a message received on a mobile from
your BT Freestyle 4100
You can use the Reply option, usually found on most
mobile phones, BUT if the text of the received message
is automatically deleted when you use this option you
will need to include the destination number in your reply,
enclosed within #’s exactly as it was in the received
message. For example, if the message you received was
“Hi there, I’ll see you at the match on Saturday
#012345678915#”, and this text doesn’t appear in the
reply, your reply would be “OK, I’ll be behind the goal at
the river end #012345678915#”.
If the reply option deletes the original text you may find
it more convenient to use the ‘Forward’ or ‘Edit’
message option.
1. Select the option you want to use and add your reply to
the received message.
2. Select Sendand enter the Vodaphone Big Number.
