Freestyle 60 User Guide ~ 5th Edition ~ 3rd September ’01 ~ 3946
Note
When fully charged and in good
condition, the handset will provide up
to 7 hours talktime or 72 hours
standby.
If the handset battery is running low,
the light on the handset will flash
every 10-15 seconds.
If you are making a call and the
handset battery is running low you
will hear a warning tone every
10-15 seconds.
Place the handset on the base unit to
recharge.
However, the charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will reduce with
time as they wear out, so reducing the
talk/standby time of the handset.
Eventually they will need to be replaced.
New batteries can be obtained from
the BT shop or from the Helpline.
To get the longest possible life from
your battery, take the handset off the
base unit for a few hours each day.
Call security
Your Freestyle 60 has its own digital
security code that prevents other
cordless phone owners from using your
phone line. This ensures that you are
charged only for calls using your phone.
However, all approved cordless phones
use radio signals to communicate
between the base unit and cordless
handset units. It is therefore possible that
your conversations could be overheard
by other people, on their cordless
phones, or on ordinary radios that use
the same radio frequencies.
As this problem applies equally to all
similar cordless phones currently
available in the UK, call privacy cannot
be guaranteed. However, the security
coding prevents unauthorised use of
your line.
Switchboard compatibility
This product is intended for use within
the UK for connection to the public
telephone network and compatible

pulse dialling and timed break recall.
If in doubt please consult your service
