IMPORTANT
The BT Freestyle 250 digital cordless telephone is not
designed for making emergency telephone calls when
the power fails.
This product is intended for connection to analogue
public switched telephone networks and private
switchboards in the United Kingdom.
Safety
Only use the power supply supplied with your BT
Freestyle 250. 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 250, 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 only possible to
make calls to 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.
It is recommended that if you have a pacemaker fitted
you check with a medical expert before using this
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 250 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.
Do not stand your product on carpets or other
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.
Do not expose your product to fire, explosive or other
hazardous conditions.
There is a slight chance your phone could be damaged
by an electrical storm. We recommend that you
unplug the power and telephone line cord during an
electrical storm.
