WARNING

Do not place your BT Freestyle 7310

in the bathroom or other humid

areas.

Handset range

The BT Freestyle 7310 has a range

of 300 metres outdoors when there

is a clear line of sight between the

base and the handset. When there

is no clear line of sight between the

base and the handset, e.g. base

indoors and handset either indoors

or outdoors, the range could be

reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone

walls can severely affect the range.

Signal strength

The symbol on your handset

screen indicates when you are in

range. When you are out of range,

it flashes and the screen displays

SEARCHING and there is a beep,

you are out of range.

IMPORTANT

Do not connect the telephone line

until at least one of the handsets is

fully charged.

The base station must be plugged

into the mains power at all times.

Which socket?

Power socket

Telephone line socket

Location

You need to place your BT Freestyle 7310 base close

enough to a mains power and telephone socket so that

the cables will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical

appliances to avoid interference.

Your BT Freestyle 7310 works by sending radio signals

between the handset and base. The strength of the

signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as

high as possible ensures the best signal.

Setting up

1. Plug the mains power adaptor into the power socket on

the underside of the base. Plug the other end into the

mains socket. The Power/In Use and message indicator

light up.

Getting started

Power adaptor cable

8

BT Freestyle 7310 – Issus 02 – Edition 01 – 24.03.05 – 6763

2. Batteries will come inserted in the battery compartment.

Pull the plastic tag as instructed to activate the batteries.

3. Charge the handset batteries for at least 16 hours by

placing the handset on the base. The screen shows the

battery icon filling up.

4. Connect the telephone line cord to the base and plug the

other end into the wall socket.

Your BT Freestyle 7310 is ready for use.

Battery low warning

When the batteries need

recharging, the handset beeps and

the display shows .

Battery level

The battery symbol shows the

current level.

Battery performance

To keep your batteries in the best

condition, leave the handset off

the base for a few hours at a time

(after the initial 16 hour charge).

Running the batteries right down

at least once a week will help them

last as long as possible.

On a full charge, your BT Freestyle

7310 handset gives you up to 10

hours talk time or up to 30 hours

standby. Standby time is increased

if set to battery save mode, see

page 60 for details.

The charge capacity of

rechargeable batteries will reduce

with time as they wear out, giving

the handset less talk/standby time.

Eventually they will need to be

replaced.

Batteries and handset may

become warm during charging.

This is normal.

Getting started

Telephone line cord

Providing you have subscribed to your network’s Caller

Display service, the day and time is automatically set

when you receive your first incoming call.

However, you can also set the day and time manually,

see page 69.

BT Freestyle 7310 multiple pack

owners only

Location

You need to place your BT Freestyle 7310 charger close

enough to a mains power socket so that the cable will

Setting up the charger

1. Plug the power adaptor cable into the underside of the

charger.

Getting started

Under no circumstances use non-

rechargeable batteries. Only use

NiMH rechargeable batteries with

a recommended capacity of

750mAh. Using inappropriate

batteries will invalidate your

guarantee and may damage the

telephone.
