(for back-up only)

To fit the back-up battery, release
the retaining clips, lift off the
battery compartment cover and
insert one new PP3 alkaline battery
(not supplied) as shown in the
diagram above. Replace the battery
compartment cover.

A good quality, fresh battery should
last about six months. To ensure
constant battery back-up, replace it
every six months.

1 Handset aerial

Your Freestyle 130 uses a compact
aerial which 

does not

pull out.

2 Check your telephone
wall socket

If you do not have a modern phone
socket, call BT on 

Free

fone 0800

800 150

and ask for an engineer to

come and fit the right socket within
two metres of a mains socket.

9V

If your Freestyle 130 is your only

phone, you should fit a back-up battery

in the base unit so that your phone can

always be used in emergencies.

Like all cordless phones, your Freestyle

130 handset will need charging for 24

hours before use.

Setting up

6

If the power fails, the back-up battery

will give you up to one hour talktime

or seven hours on standby.
