BT Synergy 3205 SMS – Issue 2 – Edition 2 – 16.03.04 – 5980
WARNING
Do not place your BT Synergy
3205 SMS in the bathroom or
other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Synergy 3205 SMS has a
range of 300 metres outdoors when
there is a clear line of sight between
the base and handset. When there
is no clear line of sight between the
base and handset, e.g. base indoors
and handset either indoors or
outdoors, the range could be
reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone
walls can severely affect the range.
Signal strength
The symbol on your handset
display indicates when you are in
range. When you are out of range,
it flashes and BASE 1 is displayed.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line
until the handset is fully charged.
The base station must be plugged
into the mains power at all times.
You must charge your handset for
16 hours before you can use it.
Which socket?
Power socket
Telephone line socket
Location
You need to place your BT Synergy 3205 SMS within
2 metres of a mains power 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 3205 SMS 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
1. Plug the mains power cable into the base. Use the power
supply with the clear plastic end.
The green Power/In use light comes on.
2. Plug the telephone line cord into the base.

7Getting started
BATTERY LOW WARNING
If the handset battery symbol is
empty and flashing, and you hear
a warning beep every minute, you
will need to recharge your handset
before you can use it.
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best
condition, leave the handset off
the base for a few hours at a time
(after the initial 16 hour charge).
New NiMH batteries do not reach
full capacity until they have been
in normal use for several days.
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
Synergy Helpline 0870 605 8047.
Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be
used. Use only approved Nickel
Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH)
size AAA capacity 550mAL 1.2V.
Using unapproved batteries will
invalidate your guarantee and may
damage the telephone
3. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied. Then slide
the battery compartment cover into place.
4. Place the handset on the base to charge for at least 16
hours. The red Charging light comes on (the red Charging
light stays on even when the batteries are full charged).
The handset is pre-registered to the base as SYNERGY 1.
This is shown on the display. When the handset is fully
charged the display shows a full battery symbol.
5. After 16 hours, plug one end of the telephone line cord
into your BT Synergy 3205 SMS base and the other end
into the telephone wall socket.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries
should give about 12 hours talk time or 300 hours
standby time on a single charge.
Your BT Synergy 3205 SMS is now ready for use.

beep, you are out of range and will
need to move closer to the base.
