Getting started
2. Batteries will come inserted in the battery compartment.
Pull the plastic tag as instructed to activate the batteries.
3. Place the handset on the base to charge the batteries for
at least 16 hours.
The main handset is pre-registered to the base as
–1–
(Handset 1). This is shown on the display. When the
handset is fully charged the display shows the
symbol.
4. After 16 hours, connect the telephone line cord to the
base and plug the other end into the wall socket.

Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully
charged handset batteries should
give about 10 hours talk time or
100 hours standby time on a single
charge.
Battery low warning
If the symbol is flashing, you
will need to recharge your handset
before using it.
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time
(after the initial 16 hour charge).
New NiMH batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
Running the batteries right down
at least once a week will help them
last as long as possible.
IMPORTANT
Only use the power supply and
telephone line cord supplied with
your BT Freestyle 3500 otherwise
the telephone may not work.
