If your Freestyle 1200 is your only
phone, you should fit a back-up battery
in the base unit so that your phone can
always be used in emergencies.
If the power fails, the back-up battery
will give you up to one hour talktime
or seven hours on standby.
Like all cordless phones, your Freestyle
1200 handset will need charging for 24
hours before initial use.
