when the battery is fully charged). When the handset is
fully charged the display will show a full battery

Freestyle 6300 base and the other end into the wall socket.

Your BT Freestyle 6300 is now ready for use.

Getting started

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, fully charged
handset batteries should provide up
to 10 hours talk time or 100 hours
standby on a single charge.

Battery performance

Please note that new NiMH
batteries do not reach full capacity
until they have been in normal use
for several days.

To keep the batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off the
charger 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.

The charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as
they wear out, so reducing the
talk/standby time of the handset.
Eventually they will need to be
replaced. New batteries can be
obtained from the BT Freestyle
Helpline 0870 605 8047.

Battery low warning

When the battery charge is low the
display will show Battery Low and
an empty battery icon

. You will

also hear the battery low warning
beep. Place the handset back on
the base to recharge.
