To install the back-up batteries in the
base unit
If the Freestyle 1100 is your only telephone,
you are legally required to fit back-up
batteries so that your telephone can always
be used in emergencies.
The base-unit battery
cover which is located
at the top right of the
base can be removed
by sliding it to the right
as far as it will go and
lifting off.
• The yellow battery removal ribbon should
be placed under the lower layer of batteries.
Pulling on the yellow ribbon will assist in
removal of the batteries when they need
replacing.
• Insert 6 x AAA batteries (not supplied)
as shown in the diagram in the battery
compartment.
Remember that the f lat ends of the batteries
should be pressed against the springs.
In the event of a power failure
During a power failure, if you have fitted
fresh back-up batteries in the base unit, your
telephone will continue to work for up to 1
hour in use or 7 hours on standby. The
answering machine will not answer incoming
calls, but will retain your outgoing message
and PIN code; it will also keep the day and
time setting and any incoming messages or
notes already recorded. The message display
will remain blank and the charging light will
be off.
Once power has been restored, you are
advised to renew the back-up batteries in the
base unit (Battery replacement should not be
necessary if the power has only been
disconnected momentarily).
To adjust the volume
When you are listening to your Freestyle
1100’s voice prompts or messages, you can
use the volume button to adjust the volume.
•Repeatedly press and release the end of the
key with the larger symbol to increase the
volume.
•Repeatedly press and release the end of the
key with the smaller symbol to decrease the
volume.
Back-up batteries will only engage when the
battery compartment cover is correctly replaced.
If the message display shows “ ” then you
have not fitted 6 x AAA batteries correctly or
the battery compartment lid has not been
replaced correctly.
