Safety information
INTRODUCTION
Synergy 3200 SMS user guide ~ 4th Edition ~ 16th October ’02 ~ 4678
Before you use your Synergy 3200 SMS
for the first time, it is important to have
the handset batteries fully charged. The
batteries need to charge continuously for
at least 16 hours to reach full charge.
3 Charge the handset batteries
for at least 16 hours
2 x NiMH AAA rechargeable batteries
are supplied.
Install the batteries as shown.
Slide the battery compartment cover into
place (the battery cover may be found
in the packaging with the batteries).
2 Install the batteries
11
1 Connect the power supply to
the base
Plan the location
Position your Synergy 3200 SMS within
2 metres of a power socket and phone
socket otherwise extension cables will
be required.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away
from other electrical products to avoid
interference.
Do not place your Synergy 3200 SMS
product in the bathroom or other humid
areas.
Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your Synergy 3200 SMS ready for use
Plug the power adaptor into the mains
power socket and switch on. The green
Power/In Use light comes on.
Note
The base station must be plugged into
the mains power socket at all times.
SETTING UP
Synergy 3200 SMS user guide ~ 4th Edition ~ 16th October ’02 ~ 4678

Place the handset on the base. The red
charging light will come on. The handset
comes pre-registered to the base station
as SYNERGY 1. This is shown on the
display. The icon is also shown on
the display and the battery icon.
Once the handset is fully charged, the
display shows a full battery symbol.
BATTERY LEVELS
WEAK HALF-FULL FULL
Battery low warning
If the handset battery symbol is empty
and flashing, and you hear a warning
beep every 10 seconds, you will need
to recharge your handset before you can
use it.
Battery performance
Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be used.
Only use the approved batteries, type:
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH); Size AAA; Capacity 550 mAh;
1.2V. Using unapproved batteries will
invalidate your guarantee and may
damage the telephone.
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off the
base station for a few hours at a time
(after the initial 16 hour charge).
Fully discharging the batteries at least
once a week will help them last as long
as possible.
However, charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, so reducing talk/standby
time of the handset. Eventually they
will need to be replaced. New batteries
can be obtained from the BT Synergy
Helpline on 08706 058 047.
After charging your handset for the first
time, subsequent charging time for the
battery is approximately 6-8 hours a
day. Batteries and handset may be come
warm during charging. This is normal.
Under ideal condition the handset
batteries should give about 14 hours
talk time or 350 hours standby on a
single charge. (This does not mean you
can unplug the base station or leave it
for this length of time without charge.)
Please note however, that new NiMH
batteries do not reach full capacity
until they have been in normal use for
several days.
Note
The symbol on your handset display
indicates when you are in range of the
base station. If the symbol flashes and
you hear a warning beep, you
are out of range and will need to move
closer to the base station.
The handset has a range of 300 metres
outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors.
The stated range of this product is
measured in open field conditions.
Walls, ceilings and metal structures will
reduce the maximum range.

Customer Helpline
If you have any difficulties setting up
your Synergy 3200 SMS please call the
Helpline on 08706 058 047.
Note
It is recommended that you do not
connect the telephone line cord to the
phone socket until your handset is fully
charged. This will prevent the risk of
the batteries discharging during a
conversation which could cause you to
lose a call.
Your Synergy 3200 SMS is now ready
for use.
Fit the belt clip onto the back of the
handset if required.
