BT Freestyle 225 UG – Edition 01 – 02.10.07 – 8390
WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle 225 in
the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Freestyle 225 has a range of
300 metres outdoors when there is a
clear line of sight between the base
and the handset. Any obstruction
between the base and handset will
reduce the range significantly. With
the base indoors and handset either
indoors or outdoors, the range will
normally be up to 50 metres. Thick
stone walls can severely affect the
range.
Signal strength
The
symbol on your handset screen
indicates when you are in range. When
you are out of range, the
symbol
flashes, and the screen displays
Searching. You should move closer to
the base if this happens to ensure the
full functionality of your phone.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until at least one of the handsets is
fully charged.
The base station must be plugged into
the mains power at all times.
Location
You need to place your BT Freestyle 225 base within 2 metres
of a mains power and telephone socket so that the cables
will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical
appliances to avoid interference.
Your BT Freestyle 225 works by sending radio signals between
the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on
where you site the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures
the best signal.
Setting up
1. Plug the mains power cable into the power socket on the back
of the base. Plug the other end into the mains socket and
switch on.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 240 3962 or email [email protected]
