Safety information
Only use the power supply supplied with your
BT Freestyle 225. Using an unauthorised power supply
will invalidate your guarantee and may damage
the telephone.
Only use the telephone line cord supplied with your
BT Freestyle 225, otherwise your telephone may not
work correctly.
For the handset, use only AAA Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH) rechargeable batteries with a minimum
capacity of 600mAh. Never use other batteries or
conventional alkaline batteries as this could lead to a
short circuit or destroy the battery casing.
If the keylock is switched on, it is NOT possible to
make calls, including emergency numbers (999/112).
Do not open the handset (except to replace the
handset batteries). This could expose you to high
voltages or other risks.
Radio signals transmitted between the handset and
base may cause interference to hearing aids.
It is recommended that advice from a qualified expert
be sought before using this product in the vicinity of
emergency/intensive care medical equipment.

product.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious
risk of explosion and/or the release of highly toxic
chemicals.
Cleaning
Simply clean the handset and base with a damp (not
wet) cloth, or an anti-static wipe. Never use
household polish as this will damage the product.
Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.
Environmental
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
The BT Freestyle 225 handset may become warm
when the batteries are being recharged. This is
normal. We recommend that you do not place the
product on antique/veneered wood to avoid damage.

surfaces which generate fibres or place it in locations
preventing the free flow of air over its surfaces.
Do not submerge any part of your product in water
and do not use it in damp or humid conditions, such
as bathrooms.

hazardous conditions.
