Using your Freestyle 80 Plus
Making and receiving calls
The handset range is up to 250 metres from
the base unit in ideal conditions. If you start to
go out of range while using the phone, you
will hear warning beeps. If you do not come
back in range, your call will be disconnected.
To make a call
• Lift the handset off the base.
• Press the
TALK button. The TALK light
comes on and the handset buttons illuminate.
The
IN USE light on the base unit comes on.
• Listen for the dialling tone.
• Dial the number you want.
To end a call
• Press the TALK button.
Or
• Replace the handset on the base.
If you do not hear a dialling tone after pressing
the TALK button, wait a few seconds. On a few
exchanges, there may be a delay.

To switch from Pulse to Tone dialling
during a call
If you are connected to a pulse dialling
exchange, you can still use services such as
phone banking that require tone dialling.
• Call the telephone number you want, in
pulse mode as usual.
• When you have been connected, press the ✱
button on the keypad to set your telephone
to tone dialling for the duration of the call.
• When you hang up, your Freestyle 80 Plus
will automatically switch back to pulse
dialling.
To receive a call
When the phone rings:
• If your handset is on the base unit, simply
pick it up to answer the call.
Or
• If your handset is off the base, press the
TALK button to answer the call.
