Up to five handsets work from one base
You can make internal calls
between handsets, transfer an external caller to another handset or hold three way calls between two handsets and an external caller.
10 number memory
Store up to 10 of your most
important or frequently dialled numbers in the memory. It’s then easy to dial numbers from the memory. Each handset has an individual memory store of 10 numbers.
Make internal and external calls at the same time
With the maximum of five
handsets registered to the base station, your Synergy 500 lets you use all of them together. One handset can be making an external call while two handsets are being used to make separate internal calls.
Enhanced call clarity
Highly advanced digital
technology (DECT) ensures much clearer calls than the older style phones.
Excellent handset range
Under ideal conditions you
can use your Synergy 500 handset at up to 300 metres from the base station outside, or up to 50 metres inside.
Last number redial
Redial the last number called from your handset.
Secrecy
This lets you talk to someone else close by without your caller hearing the conversation.

Please read the instructions carefully before use and retain this user guide for future reference.
DECT
By purchasing the Synergy 500 you now own a product which combines the advantages of cordless operation with the performance of a high quality corded telephone. It complies with the Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard and offers unparalleled quality and features.
Building up a phone system
You can use up to 5 handsets with your Synergy 500 base station without the need for additional wiring.
This user guide applies to both single and multiple handset systems. The internal call functions described in this guide apply only to Synergy 500 base stations with more than one handset registered.
Introduction
Your Synergy 500 Twin has been designed for ease of use and made to the high standards set by BT
Important
If you wear a hearing aid, please note that the Synergy 500 works by sending radio signals between the base station and the handset. These signals may interfere with some hearing aids, causing a humming noise.

Safety instructions
Use only the approved battery pack supplied. Spare
batteries – Item Code: 872261 are available from BT Shops and the Synergy 500 Helpline 0845 769 7146.
Do not try to use any other power supply unit except the one provided, otherwise you may permanently damage your Synergy 500. It may also invalidate approval of this apparatus. To get a replacement Synergy 500 base station power supply unit – Item Code 872260 – and a Synergy 500 additional handset charger power supply unit – Item code 872259 – contact the Synergy 500 Helpline 0845 769 7146.
There is a slight chance your phone could be damaged by
an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug your Synergy 500 from the mains power and telephone socket during storms.
The Synergy 500 will produce
a certain amount of heat
during operation. Equally, the handset as well as any additional chargers you purchase can also become warm during charging. We advise against placing these products on antique, veneered or wooden surfaces as damage may occur.
Do not use the Synergy 500
in damp, humid conditions
such as bathrooms. Do not
expose the equipment or batteries to fire and water.
Do not dispose of used batteries with general household rubbish and do not
burn them.
Do not use the handsets in places where there are explosive hazards.
If you wear a hearing aid, please note that the Synergy
500 works by sending radio signals between the base station and handset. These signals may interfere with some hearing aids, causing a humming noise.
Synergy 500 can interfere with other electrical equipment, e.g. answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radio/alarms and computers if placed too close. It is recommended that you place your Synergy 500 at least one metre away from such appliances to minimise any risk of interference.
Make sure you connect the power and telephone lines to the correct sockets in the base station.
Clean the handset and base station with a damp (not wet) cloth or antistatic wipe. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock. Never spray cleaning fluid directly onto the telephone.
