Getting started

Location

Place your BT Freestyle 710 within 2 metres of the mains
power socket 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 710 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 socket marked
underside of the base and plug the other end into the mains
power wall socket and switch the power on. You can place the
cable behind the retaining clip to prevent the plug being
accidentally pulled from the socket.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on Freephone 0800 218 2182* or email bt.helpdesk@vtecheurope.com
WARNING
Do not place your BT Freestyle 710 in
the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Freestyle 710 has a range of
300 metres outdoors when there is a
clear line of sight between the base
and 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.
IMPORTANT
on the
The base station must be plugged into
the mains power socket at all times.
Do not connect the telephone line
until the handset is fully charged.
Only use the power and telephone
cables supplied with the product.
