Location
You need to place your BT Synergy 4500 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 4500 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.Push the mains power cord into the socket on the underside of the base until you hear it click into place and connect the other end to the mains power wall socket. The green Power/In use light comes on the machine announces, “Answer On, calls will be answered after 6 rings”. The message counter flashes 0 then C alternately to indicate that the clock needs setting.
Power adaptor cable
WARNING
Do not place your BT Synergy 4500 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Synergy 4500 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 you move out of range of the base, 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 socket at all times. Do not connect the telephone line until the handset is fully charged. Only use the power and telephone cables supplied with the product.

Synergy 4500 – Issue 5 – Edition 1 – 18.01.07 – 7993
8 Getting started
If you have purchased a multiple handset pack, you should use the mains power adaptor with the clear connector for the base. The power adaptor(s) with the red connector is for the charger(s).
The red Charging light stays on even when the batteries are fully charged.
Talk/Standby time
In ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give up to 10 hours talk time or up to 100 hours standby time on a single charge. The base must remain plugged in to the mains and switched on at all times.
Note that new batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.
Battery low warning
If the symbol flashes in the display and you hear a warning beep every 10-15 seconds, you will need to recharge the handset before you can use it again.
During charging, the symbol will scroll in the display.
2.Rechargeable batteries are already fitted in your handset. To activate the batteries, pull the plastic tab away from the bottom of the handset as shown.
and tab this Remove 24 for batteries charge use before hours |
batteries Rechargeable fitted already |
PULL |
3.Place the handset on the base to charge for at least 24 hours. The red Charging light comes on. When the handset is fully charged the display shows the symbol.
4.After 24 hours, plug one end of the telephone line cord
into the socket marked on the underside of the base and the other end into the telephone wall socket.
Only use the telephone line cord supplied.
Setting up for multiple packs
If you have purchased a BT Synergy 4500 multiple pack, you will also need to follow the instructions shown below to prepare any additional handsets and chargers for use.
For each additional handset and charger:
1.Connect the power adaptor with the red connector to the charger and switch on.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com

Power adaptor cable
2.Rechargeable batteries are already fitted in your handset. To activate the batteries, pull the plastic tab away from the bottom of the handset as shown previously.
3.Place the handset on the charger and charge for at least 24 hours. The red charging light will come on.
Your BT Synergy 4500 additional handset comes preregistered to the base. The handset number will be shown on the display.
Set the date and time
We recommend that you now set the day and time so they can be recorded with each answering machine message you receive.
Battery performance
To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time.
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, giving the handset less talk/standby time. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New batteries are available from the BT Synergy 4500 Helpline on 0870 605 8047. For instructions on how to install new batteries, see page 92.
After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. Batteries and handset may become warm during charging. This is normal.
If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com
