If you have purchased a BT Freelance
501 multiple pack please follow
instructions A and B.
A Location
You need to place your BT Freelance
501 close enough to a mains power
and telephone wall socket so that the
cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away
from other electrical appliances to
avoid interference. Do not place your
BT Freelance 501 in the bathroom or
other humid areas.
Setting up the base and handset
1. At the base: Plug the power adaptor
and telephone cable into the relevant
sockets on the underside of the base.
Getting started
Freelance 501 – Isssue 3 – Edition 1 – 12.10.06 – 7851
4
Call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com
Handset range
The strength of the
handset signal depends
on where you position the
base. The BT Freelance
501 has a range of up to
300 metres outdoors
when there is a clear line
of sight between the base
and the handset. When
there is no clear line of
sight between the base
and the handset, eg.
base indoors and
handset either indoors or
outdoors, the range
could be reduced to up
to 50 metres. Thick
stone walls can severely
affect the range.
Signal strength
The icon on your
handset indicates when
you are in range.
When it flashes, you are
out of range. When you
move out of range of the
base, you will hear the
out of range tone. This
tone is repeated until
you move back into
range. If you do not
move back into range
the call may be
disconnected.

Power/In Use light will come on.
Your BT Freelance 501 answering
machine will announce the current
answer setting and outgoing message
Answer On. Hello your call cannot be
taken at the moment, please leave your
message after the tone”.
3. At the handset: Place the battery ribbon
in the base of the battery compartment.
Insert the 2 x AAA rechargeable
batteries supplied observing the polarity
(+ and –) markings. Then slide the
battery compartment cover into place.
The icon and
-----------
will flash in
the display while the handset searches
for the base.

Getting started
4. Place the handset in the base to
charge, the red charging light on the
base comes on, you hear a beep tone
and the icon begins scrolling in
the handset display.
You should charge the handset for at
least 24 hours on first charge.
5. Once fully charged, plug the telephone
line cord into the telephone wall socket.
B BT Freelance 501 multiple pack
owners only
For each additional handset:
You need to place your BT Freelance 501
charger close enough to a mains power
socket so that the cable will reach.
1. Plug the power adaptor cable into the
underside of the charger.
2. Plug the power adaptor into the mains
wall socket and switch the power on.
3. Place the battery ribbon in the base of
the battery compartment. Insert the 2
x AAA rechargeable batteries supplied
observing the polarity (+ and -)
markings. Then slide the battery
compartment cover into place.
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in
the best condition, leave
the handset off the base
for a few hours at a time.
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
available from the BT
Freelance 501 Helpline
on 0870 605 8047.
After charging your
handset for the first time,
subsequent charging
time is about 6–8 hours
a day. Batteries and
handset may become
warm during charging,
this is normal.
Talk/Standby time
In ideal conditions, the
handset batteries should
give up to 10 hours talk
time or up to 250 hours
standby on a single
charge. Note that new
batteries do not reach
full capacity until they
have been in normal use
for several days.

Safety
IMPORTANT
This equipment is not designed for

Freelance 501 multiple pack, the item
code for the charger mains power
supply is 032765.
For the handset use only approved

power rating of 550mAh 1.2V. Batteries
are available from the BT Freelance 501

Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
There is a serious risk of explosion
and/or the release of highly toxic
chemicals.
Hearing aid?
Please note that the BT Freelance 501
works by sending radio signals
between the handset and base. These
signals may interfere with some
hearing aids, causing a humming
noise.

base/charger with a damp (not wet)
cloth, or an anti-static wipe. Never
use household polish as this will
damage the product. Never use a dry
cloth as this may cause a static shock.
