Installing a handset battery pack and recharging
Replacing the handset on the base unit to
recharge overnight should keep the Freestyle
1050 operative for normal use. In time, the
handset battery pack will no longer hold a
sufficient charge and should be replaced.
To change the handset battery pack
The handset battery compartment is located at
the back of the handset at the lower end.
• Firmly hold the handset in both hands with
the back towards you and the bottom end
away from you.
• Push the depression in the battery compartment
cover, inward and away from you with both
thumbs, to remove it.
• Undo the plastic belt securing the battery pack.
• Remove the old battery pack by unplugging
the small white plug that connects it to the
handset.
• Insert the small white plug of the new battery
pack. (If you look at the shape of the plug and
socket, you will see that it can only be inserted
one way).
• Place the battery pack in the recess, secure it
with the plastic belt and refit the compartment
cover.
• Replace the handset on the base unit and
charge for a full 12 hours.
• The battery pack must be recycled or disposed
of properly.
• Do not burn or puncture as it could release
toxic material which may cause injury.
Spare parts for your Freestyle 1050 are available
from your BT shop or supplier.
