The handset uses two rechargeable NickelMetal Hydride (Ni-MH) AAA batteries whichare supplied. Take care to insert the batteriesas shown and then fit the battery cover (thebattery cover may be found in the packagingwith the batteries).

Before you use your Freestyle 2000 for thefirst time, it is important to have the handsetbatteries fully charged. The batteries need tocharge continuously for at least 16 hours toreach full charge.

Place the handset on the Alarm Clock RadioCharger and leave to charge for at least 16hours.

Battery levelsEmpty 33% 66% 100%

flashing

Battery low warningIf the handset battery symbol is empty andflashing, and you hear a warning beep every10 seconds, you will need to recharge yourhandset before you can use it.

Battery performanceUnder no circumstances should non-rechargeable batteries be used. Only usethe approved batteries, type: rechargeableNickel Metal Hydride (NiMH); Size AAA;Capacity 600 mAh. Using unapprovedbatteries will invalidate your guarantee andmay damage the telephone.

To keep your batteries in the best condition,leave the handset off the charger for a fewhours at a time (after the initial 16 hourcharge).

Please note, however, that new Nickel MetalHydride (Ni-MH) batteries do not reach theirfull capacity until they have been in normaluse for several days.

Fully discharging the batteries at least oncea week will help them to last as long aspossible. However, the charge capacity ofrechargeable batteries will reduce with timeas they wear out, so reducing thetalk/standby time of the handset. Eventuallythey will need to be replaced.
