WARNING
Location
Do not place your BT Freestyle 250 in
the bathroom or other humid areas.
You need to place your BT Freestyle 250 base within 2 metres
of a mains power and telephone socket so that the cables
will reach.
Handset range
The BT Freestyle 250 has a range of
300 metres outdoors when there is a
clear line of sight between the base
and the handset. Any obstruction
between the base and handset will
reduce the range significantly. With
the base indoors and handset either
indoors or outdoors, the range will
normally be up to 50 metres. Thick
stone walls can severely affect the
range.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference. Your BT Freestyle 250 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
Signal strength
1. Plug the mains power cable into the power socket on the
back of the base. Plug the other end into the mains socket
and switch on.
The
icon on your handset screen
indicates when you are in range.
When you are out of range, the
symbol flashes, and the screen displays
Searching. You should move closer to
the base if this happens to ensure the
full functionality of your phone.
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.
Mains power cable
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 240 3962 or email [email protected]

Getting started
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully charged
handset batteries should give about 10
hours talk time or 100 hours standby
time on a single charge.
2. Batteries will come inserted in the battery compartment. Pull
the plastic tag as instructed to activate the batteries.
3. Place the handset on the base to charge the batteries for at
least 16 hours.

The main handset is pre-registered to the base as –1–
(Handset 1). This is shown on the display. When the handset

is fully charged the display shows the

Battery performance
4. After 16 hours, connect the telephone line cord to the base
and plug the other end into the wall socket.
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).
New NiMH batteries do not reach full
capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days. Running
the batteries right down at least once
a week will help them last as long as
possible.
IMPORTANT
Only use the power supply and
telephone line cord supplied with your
BT Freestyle 250 otherwise the
telephone may not work.
