Emergency calls
Your Freestyle 1500 Plus is a radio system and
is mains powered. As such, there are certain
situations where you may find you cannot make
an emergency call from the handset.
These are:
•
If there is too much interference from
sources including other cordless phones,
radio station transmitters, CB radios and
so on.
•
If the handset battery fails.
•
If there is a power cut and the base unit has
no back-up battery fitted.
The emergency services can be contacted on this
phone by dialling
999
or
112
.
Low-battery indicator on the handset
When the handset battery runs low, the display
shows
BATT
and the handset beeps. After a
further 30 seconds, any phone or intercom call
currently being made will be cut off. To recharge
the battery, leave the handset charging on the
base for at least 24 hours.
