SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

recommend that you unplug your Synergy 2150 from the mains power and telephone socket during storms.

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.

The Synergy 2150 will produce a certain amount of heat during operation.

Do not use the Synergy 2150 in damp, humid conditions such as bathrooms. Do not

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

2150 works by sending radio signals between the base station and handset. These signals can interfere with hearing aids, causing a humming noise.

We advise that this product should not be used near emergency intensive care medical equipment and should not be used by individuals with pacemakers.

Synergy 2150 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 2150 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.

Setting up

Follow these steps to set up your Synergy 2150 ready for use.

Plan the location of your Synergy 2150

Your Synergy 2150 works by sending and receiving radio signals between the base station and the handset.

The strength of the signal can depend on where you site the base station. Generally, the higher the base station is located the better. An upstairs room is ideal.

The following points should be considered:

• It should be within 3 metres of a power socket and phone socket otherwise extension cables will be required.

• 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.

Connect the power cable

Plug the power cable into the power socket on your Synergy base station.

Plug the adaptor into the mains power supply and switch on. The power light comes on and starts to flash. This will continue flashing until the Day & Time are set (see page 22).

Install the rechargeable

battery in the handset

SETTING UP

Please note

The Synergy 2150 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 and the sea) as well as large metal

objects (e.g. radiators, metal partition

walls and steel girders).

The Synergy 2150 uses a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack supplied. Take care to connect the battery as shown and replace the battery cover.

Charge the handset battery

0-50%

(flashing)

50 -100%

for at least 16 hours

Before you use your Synergy 2150 for the first time, it is important to have the handset battery fully charged. We recommend that you leave the Synergy 2150 on charge for at least 16 hours.

Place the handset on the base. The red charging light comes on. The handset should come pre-registered to the base station as HS1 and this is shown in the top right corner of the display.

The battery symbol is also shown. It flashes during charging. Once the handset is fully charged, the display shows a full battery symbol.

Battery levels

SETTING UP

Battery low warning.

If the handset battery symbol is empty and flashing, and you hear a warning beep every 10 seconds, you will need to recharge your handset before you can use it.

Battery performance

To keep your battery in the best condition, leave the handset off the base station for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge).

After charging your Synergy handset for the first time, subsequent charging time for the battery is approximately 4-5 hours. Battery and case may become warm during charging. This is normal and not dangerous.

Note: Once the handset is fully

charged the red charging light will go off.

Under ideal conditions, the handset battery should give about 12 hours talktime (7 hours in handsfree mode) or 150 hours standby on a single charge.

Please note, however, that a new NiMH battery does not reach its full capacity until it has been in normal use for several days.

Please note that while the NiMH rechargeable battery 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.

How many phones can you have?

All items of telephone equipment have a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to calculate the number of items which may be connected to any one telephone line. The Synergy 2150 has a REN of 1. Any other instrument provided by BT may be assumed to have a REN of 1 unless otherwise stated. A total REN of 4 is allowed.

Connection to the BT telephone network

Synergy 2150 is fully approved for connection to the BT network provided it is used according to the instructions in this guide. The telephone lines must provide Multi-frequency (Touch Tone) dialling capabilities.

It may be connected to Direct Exchange Lines and switchboards (PBXs) with new plan (plug and socket) arrangements.

Connecting to switchboards

Synergy 2150 is only approved for use with a compatible switchboard including those which do not provide secondary proceed indication.

If you would like a list of suitable switchboards, contact BT on 154.

If you do not have a compatible switchboard, it cannot be guaranteed that the product will operate correctly under all possible conditions of connection. If you have any difficulties, contact BT on 154.

Generally, Synergy 2150 can be connected to any switchboard where a simple modern telephone can be used to make and receive calls. Synergy 2150 is suitable for connection to switchboards which return secondary proceed indication.
