Replacing Batteries for BT Freestyle 2200?

To slide the battery cover off: hold the handset in your left hand with the keypad facing the palm of your hand. You should see "BT" written on the back. Make sure this is UPSIDE DOWN. You will see an oval shape with three friction dots at the top, these are on the battery cover. Put the thumb of your right hand on the friction dots and push down and forward quite hard.

Great answers thanks to you Andy G
The link was brilliant. I had to get a knife to open the unit for leverage. But better and cheaper than buying a new one.
thanks again

Hi,
I had the same problem. There are pdf's of the phone user manual available online, which show you how to replace the battery (on p.24). See:

Good luck.

hi

the battery cover should just slide downwards. BT doesn't support this model anymore but I have found the user guide here:
