Installing a handset battery pack
and recharging
The handset battery compartment is located at
the back of the handset at the lower end.
Replacing the handset on the base unit
to recharge overnight should keep the
Freestyle 70 operative for normal use.
In time the handset battery pack will
no longer hold a sufficient charge and
should be replaced.
•
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 24 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.

Cleaning the charging contacts
•
When you first setup the Freestyle 70,
or replace the battery pack, the handset
must be fully charged for 24 hours
before use.
•
To maintain optimum charge and
battery condition, the handset should
be allowed to fully discharge about
every four months.
•
Dispose of Ni-Cad battery packs safely.
Do not puncture or burn them. They
contain toxic materials which could
cause injury.
•
Wipe the casing clean with a damp,
not wet cloth.
•
Check that the charging contacts on
the base and the handset are clean. If
necessary wipe them with a dry cloth.
•
Do not use spray or abrasive cleaners
as damage to the internal components
or polished surfaces could result.
