1 Handset aerial

Your Freestyle 90 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. This
is a chargeable service.

Like all cordless phones, your Freestyle

90 handset will need charging for 24

hours before initial use.

Warning

1

Do not try to use any power supply
other than the one provided. This
may permanently damage your
Freestyle 90.

2

Your Freestyle 90 should not be
fitted in wet or damp conditions, for
example in a bathroom. Also, the
handset should not be left out in
the rain.

3

There is a slight chance that your
phone could be damaged by an
electrical storm. We recommend
that you unplug the base unit from
the mains during storms.

3 Plug the power cable
into the back of the 
base unit

Plug the adaptor cable into the
socket on the back of your
Freestyle 90.
