871273) and Synergy base station power supply unit (Item Code: 871340) contact BT Shops or the Synergy Helpline
0845 650 20 20.
3. There 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 1000 works by sending radio signals between the base station and handset. These signals can inter fere with hearing aids, causing a humming noise.
5. Synergy 1000 can inter fere 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 1000 at least one metre away from such appliances to avoid any risk of inter ference.
6. The Synergy 1000 will produce a cer tain
amount of heat during operation. Equally, the handset as well as any additional chargers you purchase can also become warm during charging.
7. We advise against placing these products on
antique, veneered or wooden surfaces as damage may occur.
8. Do not use the Synergy 1000 in damp, humid
conditions such as bathrooms. Do not expose the equipment or batteries to fire or water.
9. Do not dispose of used batteries with general
household rubbish and do not burn them.
10. Do not use the handsets in places where
there are explosive hazards.
11. Make sure you connect the power and
telephone lines to the correct sockets in the base station.
The Synergy 1000 system has a range 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).
12. 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.

6. To wall mount your product
(See ‘Wall mounting’, page 30.)
7. To plan the location of the base station
Your Synergy 1000 works by sending and receiving radio signals between the base station and the handset.
The strength of the signal depends on where you site the base station. The higher the base station is located, the better. An upstairs room is ideal. The following points should be considered:
• It should be within easy reach of a mains socket and a telephone 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.
