Location
You need to place your BT Synergy base within 2 metres of the mains power socket 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 Synergy 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
Connect the base
1.Plug the mains power cable into the socket marked on the underside of the base and plug the other end into the mains power wall socket and switch the power on.
The telephone cable is pre-installed in the base but do not connect the other end to the telephone wall socket yet.
Telephone line cord (pre-installed)
WARNING
Do not place your BT Synergy in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Synergy has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base and handset will reduce the range significantly. With the base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The icon on your handset indicates when you are in range. When out of range of the base the icon will flash and the out-of-range tone will sound every minute. This tone is repeated until
you move back into range.
IMPORTANT
The base station must be plugged into the mains power at all times. Do not connect the telephone line cord into the wall socket until the handset is fully charged. Only use the power and telephone cables supplied with the product.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0800 145 6789* or email bt.helpdesk@sgweurope.com

If you ever need to remove the batteries, simply slide open the battery compartment cover and pull the ribbon away from the handset to release the batteries.
