Hints and tips boxes

In this user guide, we’ve included helpful tips and useful hints. They are shown in a grey box.

Warning

1. Use only approved the battery pack supplied. Spare

batteries – Item Code: 871285 – are available from BT Shops and the Synergy Helpline 0845 650 20 20.

2. Do not try to use any power supply except the one provided, other wise you may permanently damage your Synergy Handset. It may also invalidate the approval given to this apparatus. Spare Synergy charger power supply unit – Item Code: 871273 is available from BT Shops and the Synergy Helpline 0845 650 20 20.

3. Ther e is a slight chance that your phone could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug your Synergy 1000 from the mains power and telephone line socket during storms.

4. If you wear a hearing aid, please note that the Synergy system works by sending radio signals between the base station and handset. These signals can interfer e with hearing aids, causing a humming noise.

5. The Synergy telephone system 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 Charger Unit/Base Station at least one metre away from such appliances to avoid any risk of interference.

6. The Synergy Handset and Charger can become warm during charging.

The Synergy Handset has a range from the base station of up to 300 metres outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors. It is possible that the range may be affected by being near water (e.g. large ponds, lakes, the sea) and large metal objects (e.g. radiators, steel girders and metal partition walls.

Setting up and registration

Follow these steps to get your Synergy Handset ready for use.

1. Install the rechargeable batteries in the handset

The Synergy Handset uses a nickel cadmium (NiCad) batter y pack supplied. Hold the handset with the keypad facing down, remove the clear plastic directory label cover and push and slide open the batter y compartment.

Insert the battery pack inside the battery compartment and slide the batter y compartment cover shut. Replace the directory label cover.

BATTERY

Push

Slide

Battery low warning

Your handset display will show the status of your battery:

• When the charge is low, the battery icon is displayed.

• When the charge is almost out, you will also hear a warning beep every 10 seconds in the earpiece. This indicates that the handset is about to switch off.

4. Register your Synergy Handset with the

base station

At the base station:

• Press and hold down the blue

PAGE button until you

hear a beep (after about 10 seconds).

At the handset:

• Press the ➔ button until the display shows SET UP.

• Press the ✔ button. Display shows HANDSET.

• Press the ✔ button. Display shows KEYTONES.

• Press the ➔ button until the display shows REG.

• Press the ✔ button. Display shows ADD.

• Press the ✔ button. Display shows PLS WAIT then, after a short delay, the Park No. of the base station.

• Press the ✔ button. Display shows PIN ———— .

Please note that while NiCad rechargeable batteries can be expected to give years of service they do not last forever. Their actual lifespan depends on how heavily they are used but over time, their capacity to recharge will begin to diminish and they will eventually need replacing.

You now have up to 1 minute to register the handset, during which the IN-USE light flashes on the base station.

5. Wall mounting your product

(For instruction, see ‘Wall mounting’, page 40.) Before wall mounting, make sure the mains power lead will reach the mains socket. Try to avoid locations near metallic obstructions or electrical appliances, such as TV sets, fridges, computers, fluorescent lights, radiators, metal pipes and metal window frames.
