Setting upFollow these steps and your Freestyle 520 Plus
will be ready to use.
Check that your Freestyle 520 Plus is complete.
When you unpack you should have:
• base unit with a telescopic aerial and phone
cord attached;
• cordless handset and charging unit
• corded handset
• two 13-amp mains power adaptor plugs
• bracket for the base unit
• bracket for the cordless-handset cradle

Like all cordless phones, the Freestyle 520 Plus
cordless handset must be charged for 24 hours
before you use it. However, once it has been
connected, you can use the corded handset
immediately.
Important: Before you use your Freestyle 520 Plus
As this product is rechargeable, it is normal that a
certain amount of heat will be produced in its day-
to-day operation. Whilst this is entirely safe we
would advise against placing this product on
antique, veneered or wooden surfaces as damage
may occur.
Plan the location of the base unit. The following
points should be considered:
• The base unit should be within two metres of a
power socket and the phone socket. A new-style
phone line socket is needed for this product.
If you do not have one, call us free on
FREEfone 0800 800 150.
• There should be enough room for the telescopic
aerial to be fully extended, ideally vertically.
• Ensure that the base unit and the aerial are
away from TV sets, fridges, computers, GSM
telephones, fluorescent lights, radiators, metal
pipes and metal window frames.
• If your Freestyle 520 Plus is your only phone, you
must fit back-up batteries in case of power cuts.
The required battery type is a PP3 Alkaline 9V
(not supplied).
• The back up battery must be fitted before
attaching the base unit to the mounting bracket.
