Answering machine help
Display does not light up
Check that your Freestyle 1500 Plus is correctly
connected to the mains power socket and that
the power is switched on. Check that the power
cable is inserted into the socket on the back of
the machine.
Message does not record
If you are recording a memo through the base
unit microphone, speak clearly and towards the
base microphone. Recording your message
through the handset will ensure a good quality
recording (see page 23 & 26).
Is the 14

minute memory full? If so, the
display will show
‘F’
and the Freestyle 1500 Plus
will not record. You will need to delete messages.
Cannot hear the call being answered
When the answering machine is answering a
call, you can hear the message from the base,
providing the base volume is not set to silence.
If you can’t hear the call then press the memo
button to increase the volume.

Battery charging contacts
Check that the charging contacts on the base
unit and the handset are kept clean. If they
become tarnished or dirty, your Freestyle 1500
Plus may not recharge efficiently. Clean the
contacts by wiping them with a dry cloth.
Extended periods of non-use
If you are not going to use your Freestyle 1500
Plus for a long period of time (for example if you
are going on holiday), we recommend that you:
• disconnect the base unit from both mains
supply and phone line;
• disconnect and remove the back-up battery
from the base unit;
• recharge the handset batteries for 24 hours
when reconnecting.
Cleaning
Simply clean the handset and base unit with
a damp cloth or an antistatic wipe. Avoid using
household sprays and cleansers as they can
damage your Freestyle 1500 Plus.

Protecting your Freestyle 1500 Plus
Most electrical appliances are affected by the
electrical activity of thunderstorms. Cordless
phones are particularly susceptible to damage. To
protect your Freestyle 1500 Plus, it is advisable to
unplug it from the mains and BT socket during
thunderstorms.
