To plan the location of the base unit
Your Freestyle 1100 works by sending and
receiving radio signals between the base
unit and the handset. The strength of the
signal
will depend on where you site the base unit
and how the aerial is deployed. The higher
the base unit is located the better. An
upstairs room is ideal. The following points
should be considered:
• It should be within easy reach of a mains
socket and a telephone socket. A new style
telephone socket is required for this
product.
If you do not have one, call us on

.
• Try to avoid locations near metallic
obstructions or electrical appliances, such
as: TV sets, fridges, computers, fluorescent
lights, radiators, metal pipes and metal
window frames.
• The Freestyle 1100 can be wall mounted by
using the bracket and screws supplied.
