Emergency Calls
The emergency services can be contacted in the UK by dialling 999. You may also dial 112 which is valid in any country that is a member of the European community.
As the Freestyle 120 Plus is a mains powered cordless telephone there are certain situations where you may not be able to make an emergency call:
- If there is severe radio interference.
• If the handset batteries fail. - If there is a power cut and there are no back-up batteries in the base unit.
If your Freestyle 120 Plus is connected to a PBX, you may have to dial an access number before 999 to contact the emergency services.
Some switchboards are not able to dial out during a power failure.
Setting up
Follow these steps to get your Freestyle 120 Plus
ready for use.
Important
As this product is rechargeable, it is normal that a certain amount of heat will be produced in its day-to-day operation. Whilst this is entirely safe we would advise against placing this product on antique, veneered or wooden surfaces as damage may occur.
Plan where you will put your Freestyle 120 Plus.
- It should be within two metres of a power socket and the phone socket.
- You need enough room for the base unit's telescopic aerial to be fully extended.
- For the best operating conditions, try to place the base unit away from large metal objects and other electrical appliances.
Check that your Freestyle 120 Plus is complete. When you unpack you should have:
• Freestyle 120 Plus handset.
• Freestyle 120 Plus base unit with telephone line cord attached.
- Mains power adaptor plug.
• Wall mounting bracket with screws.
- Spare quick dial directory label
Electrical storm warning
1 Please note that during periods of electrical storm, you are advised to disconnect your apparatus because damage may occur.
2 If a fault occurs during the 12 month warranty period and it is due to accidental or wilful damage (including lightning and electrical damage) BT will not replace or repair free of charge.
Setting up
Like all cordless phones, your Freestyle 120 Plus handset will need charging for 24 hours before use.
1 Handset aerial

Simple diagram with a central rectangle and two side circles, no text or symbols present.If you do not have a modern phone socket, call BT on Free phone 0800 800 150 and ask for a BT engineer to come and fit the correct socket. This is a chargeable service.
3 Insert battery (for back-up only)
natural_image
Diagram of a mechanical or electrical component with internal components and mounting brackets (no text or symbols)Remember that the flat ends of the batteries should be pressed against the springs.
If your Freestyle 120 Plus is your only phone, you should fit back-up batteries so that your phone can always be used in emergencies.
To fit back up batteries, slide the cover off towards the right and insert 8 new AAA alkaline batteries (not supplied) as shown in the diagram above. The power light on the base unit will come on and light up red. The battery removal ribbon should be placed under the lower layer of batteries. Pulling on the ribbon will assist in removal of the batteries when they need replacing. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Back-up batteries will only engage when the battery compartment cover is correctly replaced.
Good quality, fresh batteries should last approximately six months. To ensure constant battery back-up, replace the batteries every six months.
In the event of a power failure, the batteries will give you up to one hour talk time or seven hours on standby.
4 Plug the power cable into the back of the base unit
Plug the mains power cable into the socket on the back of your Freestyle 120 Plus.
Warning
1 Do not try to use any power supply other than the one provided. This may permanently damage your Freestyle 120 Plus.
2 Your Freestyle 120 Plus should not be fitted in wet or damp conditions, for example in a bathroom. Also, the handset should not be left out in the rain.
3 There is a slight chance that your phone could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug the base unit from the mains during storms.
5 Connect the base unit three-pin adaptor to a power socket
Like all cordless phones, your Freestyle 120 Plus handset will need charging for 24 hours before use.
6 Plug the phone into the BT socket

Setting up
7 Extend the base unit telescopic aerial
Extend the base unit telescopic aerial on your Freestyle 120 Plus (as shown below) to ensure the best possible signal and reception.
For the best reception
Try to avoid putting the telescopic aerial near other electrical appliances, fluorescent lights and large metallic objects such as cookers, radiators and garage doors as these may cause interference and reduce the quality of your calls.
8 To wall-mount your product
(See 'Wall mounting', page 29)
To plan the location of the base unit
Your Freestyle 120 Plus works by sending and receiving radio signals between the base unit and the handset. The strength of the signal will depend on where you site the base unit and how the aerial is deployed. The higher the base unit is located the better. An upstairs room is ideal. The following points should be considered:
- It should be within easy reach of a mains socket and a telephone socket. A new style telephone socket is required for this product. If you do not have one, call us on Freefone 0800 800 150.
- Try to avoid locations near metallic obstructions or electrical appliances, such as: TV sets, fridges, computers, fluorescent lights, radiators, metal pipes and metal window frames.
- The Freestyle 120 Plus can be wall mounted by using the bracket and screws supplied, see page 31 for template.
9 To charge the handset
When you first use your Freestyle 120 Plus, the rechargeable batteries in the handset need charging for 24 hours.
- Make sure you have connected your Freestyle 120 Plus to the mains power supply, see steps 4 and 5, page 7.
- Make sure the red POWER light is on.
- Place the handset on the base unit, ensuring the contacts are touching. The CHARGING light comes on.
- The charging light will remain constantly lit whilst the handset is placed on the base unit.
As a rule, placing the handset on the base unit overnight, will keep the batteries fully charged for all normal use.
Battery care
Batteries cannot be overcharged. However, leaving the handset on the base unit all the time can deteriorate rechargeable batteries. To get the longest possible life from your batteries, take the handset off the base for a few hours each day.
When fully charged and in good condition, the handset batteries will provide up to 5 hours continuous talk time or 72 hours standby.
If the batteries are running low, the handset will beep every few seconds and the BATT LOW light will flash.
If you are making a call and the batteries are running low, the handset will give a series of beeps.
Place the handset on the base unit to recharge.
Mains power adaptor
The Freestyle 120 Plus must only be used with the adaptor supplied.
Using any other adaptor will result in non-compliance with EN60950:1992, and will invalidate the approval given to this apparatus.
Using your Freestyle 120 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.
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 end a call
- Press the TALK button.
Or
- Replace the handset on the base.
To switch from Pulse to Tone signalling during a call
If you are connected to a pulse dialling exchange, you can still use services such as phone banking that require tone signalling.
- Call the telephone number you require in pulse mode as usual.
- When you have been connected, press the * button on the keypad to set your telephone to tone signalling for the duration of the call.
- When you hang up, your Freestyle 120 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.
An Inductive Coupler has been built into the handset to improve sound quality for people using hearing aids. Switch your hearing aid to T and adjust the position of the handset until you get the best reception.
To use the Channel seeker
Your Freestyle 120 Plus automatically scans all the available radio channels for quality of reception, and selects the best one to use. If you experience interference during your call, press the CHANNEL SEEKER button to select a different channel.
To adjust the handset ringer
The ring mode switch on the side of the handset can be set to either:
• ON (handset rings) or
• OFF (handset does not ring).
To set the ringer switch
(Located at the back of the base unit)
You can set the ringer to HI, LO or OFF. If the base unit ringer is switched OFF, the handset will still ring providing the handset ringer is not switched to OFF.
To set the tel mode switch
(Located at the back of the base unit)
The tel mode switch selects tone or pulse dialling and earth or time break recall:
- T-TB – Your Freestyle 120 Plus is preset to this position. Most modern exchanges use tone dialling and time break recall for faster dialling, and for services such as BT Select Services and telephone banking.
- P-E – If you dial a number when your Freestyle 120 Plus is set to T-TB or T-E and you continue to hear the dialling tone, you may be connected to an older pulse dialling exchange. Set the switch to P-E (pulse dialling).
- T-E– This setting is for use if you are connected to a tone dialling PBX (private branch exchange) that uses earth recall.
To insert a Pause
With some switchboards, after dialling the access code you may have to wait for a moment while the switchboard picks up an outside line. If this is the case, press the REDIAL button before keying in the telephone number to insert a pause.
To use the Recall button
This button signals either time-break recall or earth recall depending on the setting of the TEL MODE switch. If you are connected to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), contact your PBX supplier for further information. The recall button when set to time-break recall T-TB is also used for BT Select Services. For further information, see page 17.
Using the memory to store and dial numbers
Your Freestyle 120 Plus handset can store up to ten separate phone numbers. You can then dial each number by pressing just two buttons.

It doesn't matter if the first call is incoming or outgoing, but the second call must be made from your telephone.
Call Diversion
Call diversion allows you to set up your telephone to divert calls to another telephone at a different location. If you are going to be away from your home or place of work and at a known location your calls can be forwarded. There are 3 divert options available:
- All calls.
- Any calls unanswered within 15 seconds.
- Calls that come in when your telephone is engaged.
When Call Diversion is on, you will hear an intermittent dialling tone. You can still use your telephone to make calls.

Call security
Your Freestyle 120 Plus has its own digital security code that prevents other cordless phone owners from using your phone line. This ensures that you are charged only for calls using your phone.
Technical information
However, all approved cordless phones use radio to communicate between the base and cordless handset units. It is therefore possible that your conversations could be overheard by other people, on their cordless phones, or on ordinary radios that use the same radio frequencies.
As this problem applies equally to all similar cordless phones currently available in the UK, call privacy cannot be guaranteed. However, the security coding prevents unauthorised use of your line.
You may find that your Freestyle 120 Plus picks up conversations from other cordless phones being used nearby.
If you experience this type of interference try changing channels using the CHANNEL SEEKER button on the handset.
Transmission frequencies
This cordless telephone has been designed to operate on radio frequencies which have been assigned to the exclusive use of cordless telephones. As the use of cordless telephones becomes more widespread, users may experience a reduction in the quality of service obtained from this apparatus.
Transmission frequencies of available channels:
| Channels Base Unit Tx Handset Tx Frequency/MHz Frequency/MHz | ||
| 1 | 31.0375 | 39.9375 |
| 2 | 31.0625 | 39.9625 |
| 3 | 31.0875 | 39.9875 |

| 8 | 31.2125 | 40.1125 |
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
Although you may have any number of sockets it it important to limit the number of telephones and other items of apparatus connected to the line by those sockets, to ensure that each telephone will ring.
Every telephone or item of apparatus has a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). In most cases a standard line should provide enough current for two or more telephones or items of apparatus, if the RENs add up to no more than 4.
Freestyle 120 Plus has a REN of 1. Any telephone provided by BT may be assumed to
have a REN of 1 unless otherwise stated on the base. Even where the number of telephones has been limited, there is no guarantee that different types of telephone on the same line will ring.
If you do not have a compatible switchboard, it cannot be guaranteed that your Freestyle 120 Plus will operate correctly under all possible conditions of connection.
Safety advice
- Don't use your Freestyle 120 Plus in the open air during thunderstorms. Unplug it from the telephone line and the mains socket when there are storms in your area.
- Don't use your Freestyle 120 Plus outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands.
- Don't install the base unit near a sink, bath or shower. Electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water.
- Don't install the base unit where the various leads can be tripped over or walked on. This may cause injury, or damage to the leads and your Freestyle 120 Plus.
Connection information
- Your Freestyle 120 Plus may be connected to public networks in the United Kingdom.
- It may also be connected to compatible switchboards. If in doubt, your switch supplier or maintainer should be able to offer help. Advice on connection to BT switching systems can be obtained by dialling BT Freefone 0800 800 152.
Maintenance
Installing handset batteries and recharging
Replacing the handset on the base unit to recharge over night should keep the Freestyle 120 Plus operative for normal use. In time the handset battery pack will no longer hold a sufficient charge and should be replaced.
To change the handset batteries
The handset battery compartment is located at the back of the handset at the lower end.
- 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.
-

In the event of a power failure
During a power failure, if you have fitted fresh alkaline back-up batteries in the base unit, your telephone will continue to work for up to 1 hour in use or 7 hours on standby.
Once power has been restored, you are advised to renew the back-up batteries in the base unit (battery replacement should not be necessary if the power has only been disconnected momentarily).
Care of rechargeable battery pack
- When you first install the Freestyle 120 Plus, 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 4 months.
- Dispose of Ni-Cad battery packs safely. Do not puncture or burn as they contain toxic materials which could cause injury.
General cleaning
Clean the cabinet of the handset and the base with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild solution of water and detergent. Charging contacts should be cleaned with a dry cloth or for heavy soiling a pencil eraser can be used.
- Do not clean with a wet cloth.
- Do not clean with abrasive materials or solvents as these may damage the unit.
- Do not spray aerosol cleaners onto the base or handset.
