1 Handset aerial
Your Freestyle 90 uses a compact
aerial which does not pull out.
2 Check your telephone
wall socket
If you do not have a modern phone
socket, call BT on
Freefone 0800
800 150 and ask for an engineer to
come and fit the right socket within
two metres of a mains socket. This
is a chargeable service.

If your Freestyle 90 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.
Like all cordless phones, your Freestyle
90 handset will need charging for 24
hours before use.
If the power fails, the back-up battery
will give you up to one hour talktime
or seven hours on standby.
