WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle
3500 in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Freestyle 3500 has a range
of 300 metres outdoors when there
is a clear line of sight between
the base and the handset. Any
obstruction between the base
and handset will reduce the range
significantly. With the base indoors
and handset either indoors or
outdoors, the range will normally
be up to 50 metres. Thick stone
walls can severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset
screen indicates when you are in
range. When you are out of range,
the symbol flashes, and the
screen displays Searching. You
should move closer to the base if
this happens to ensure the full
functionality of your phone.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until at least one of the handsets is
fully charged.
The base station must be plugged
into the mains power at all times.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 240 3962 or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com

Location

You need to place your BT Freestyle 3500 base within 2
metres of a mains power and telephone socket so that
the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical appliances to avoid interference.
Your BT Freestyle 3500 works by sending radio signals
between the handset and base. The strength of the
signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as
high as possible ensures the best signal.

Setting up

1. Plug the mains power cable into the power socket on the
back of the base. Plug the other end into the mains
socket and switch on.
