WARNING

Do not place your BT Synergy 3005 in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Handset range

The BT Synergy 3005 has a range of 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and handset. When there is no clear line of sight between the base and handset, e.g. base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range could be reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.

Signal strength

The symbol on your handset display indicates when you are in range. When you are out of range, it flashes and BASE 1 is displayed.

The base station must be plugged into the mains at all times.

The charger must be plugged into the mains power at all times.

The red Charging light stays on even when the batteries are full charged.

Location

You need to place your BT Synergy 3005 within 2 metres of a mains power socket so that the cable will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference.

Your BT Synergy 3005 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. Connect the mains power adaptor to the charger and switch on.

2. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied. Then slide the battery compartment cover into place.

3. Place the handset on the charger to charge for at least 16 hours. The red Charging light comes on. When the handset is fully charged the display shows a full battery symbol.

If you are registering to another DECT GAP compatible base station other than the BT Synergy 3105 or 3505, please refer to that user guide for registering additional handsets.

Make sure the handset is close to the base.

At the base:

1. Press and hold until you hear two beeps (after

Page

about 10 seconds) then release.

Getting started

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give about 14 hours talk time or 350 hours standby time on a single charge.

BATTERY LOW WARNING

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

Battery performance

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

New NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.

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, so reducing the talk/ standby time of the handset. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New batteries can be obtained from the BT Synergy Helpline 0870 605 8047.

Getting started

Range indicator

The symbol on your handset display indicates when you are in range of the base. If the symbol flashes and you hear a warning beep, you are out of range and will need to move closer to the base.

Helpline

If you have any difficulties setting up your BT Synergy 3005, please call the BT Synergy Helpline on 0870 605 8047.

Keep the charger connected to the mains power at all times.

At the handset:

2. Press then scroll to

The display shows

. The numbers that are flashing indicate other bases that the handset is already registered to.

䊴

3. Enter - for the base you want to register to,

followed by your 4-digit base PIN (original setting 0000) then press .

The display shows

SEARCH 1,2,3,4

. and flashes

until the handset locates the base.

When the base is located, the handset will be automatically selected and shown on the display.

4. Press the button to confirm the handset is registered.
