For the best reception
Try to avoid putting the telescopic aerial near
other electrical appliances, fluorescent lights and
large metallic objects such as cookers, radiators
and garage doors as these may cause interference
and reduce the quality of your calls.

Extend the base unit telescopic aerial on your
Freestyle 80 Plus (as shown below) to ensure
the best possible signal and reception.
8 To wall-mount your product
(See ‘Wall mounting’, page 29.)
To plan the location of the base unit
Your Freestyle 80 Plus works by sending and
receiving radio signals between the base unit
and the handset. The strength of the signal
depends on where you site the base unit and
how the aerial is deployed. The higher the
base unit is located, the better. An upstairs
room is ideal. The following points should be
considered:
• It should be within easy reach of a mains
socket and a telephone socket. A new-style
telephone socket is required for this product.
If you do not have one, call us on Freefone
0800 800 150.
• Try to avoid locations near metallic
obstructions or electrical appliances, such
as TV sets, fridges, computers, fluorescent
lights, radiators, metal pipes and metal
window frames.
• The Freestyle 80 Plus can be wall mounted
by using the bracket and screws supplied;
see page 31 for template.
