Freestyle 65 User Guide ~ 5th Edition ~ 5th April ’02 ~ 3950
Note
Do not connect the telephone line cord
to the phone socket until the handset
is fully charged. This will prevent the
risk of the phone being answered
before the batteries are charged, which
may prevent them from reaching
maximum capacity.
Note
When fully charged and in good
condition, the handset will provide up
to 7 hours talktime or 72 hours
standby.
If the handset battery is running low,
the light on the handset will flash
every 10-15 seconds.
If you are making a call and the
handset battery is running low you
will hear a warning tone every
10-15 seconds.
Place the handset on the base unit to
recharge.
However, the charge capacity of
rechargeable batteries will reduce with
time as they wear out, so reducing the
talk/standby time of the handset.
Eventually they will need to be replaced.
New batteries can be obtained from
the Helpline. Please see page 39 for
instructions on how to install a new
battery pack.
To get the longest possible life from
your battery, leave the handset off the
base unit for a few hours each day.
4 Charge the handset
When you first use your Freestyle 65,
the rechargeable battery in the
handset needs charging for 24 hours.
Place the handset on the base unit,
ensuring the contacts are touching.
The red CHARGING light will come on.
The charging light will remain
constantly lit while the handset is
placed on the base unit, even when the
handset batteries are fully charged.
3 Connect the base unit
power supply to a power
socket
The power supply unit must remain
plugged in all the time.
