sets, clock/alarms and computers if
placed too close. It is recommended
that you place your product at least
one metre away from such appliances
to minimise any risk of intereference.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
There is a serious risk of explosion and/
or the release of highly toxic chemicals.

Cleaning

Simply clean the handset and base
station with a damp (not wet) cloth,
or an anti-static wipe. Never use
household polish as this will damage
the product. Never use a dry cloth
as this may cause a static shock.

Environmental

Do not expose to direct sunlight.

The product may heat up when the
battery pack is being recharged.
This is normal. However, we
recommend that you do not place

damp conditions, such as bathrooms.

Do not expose your product to fire,
explosive or other hazardous
conditions.

There is a slight chance that your
phone could be damaged by an
electrical storm. We recommend
that you unplug the power and
telephone line cord for the duration

of the storm.

Safety information

INTRODUCTION

Before you use your Synergy 3200 SMS
for the first time, it is important to have
the handset batteries fully charged. The
batteries need to charge continuously for
at least 16 hours to reach full charge.

3 Charge the handset batteries

for at least 16 hours

2 x NiMH AAA rechargeable batteries
are supplied.

Install the batteries as shown.

Slide the battery compartment cover into
place (the battery cover may be found
in the packaging with the batteries).

2 Install the batteries

11

1 Connect the power supply to

the base

Plan the location

Position your Synergy 3200 SMS within
2 metres of a power socket and phone
socket otherwise extension cables will
be required.

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

Do not place your Synergy 3200 SMS
product in the bathroom or other humid
areas.

Setting up

Follow these steps to set up your Synergy 3200 SMS ready for use

Plug the power adaptor into the mains
power socket and switch on. The green
Power/In Use light comes on.

Note

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

SETTING UP

12

Place the handset on the base. The red
charging light will come on. The handset
comes pre-registered to the base station
as SYNERGY 1. This is shown on the
display. The icon is also shown on
the display and the battery icon.

Once the handset is fully charged, the
display shows a full battery symbol.

BATTERY LEVELS

WEAK HALF-FULL FULL

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

Under no circumstances should
non-rechargeable batteries be used.
Only use the approved batteries, type:
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH); Size AAA; Capacity 550 mAh;

1.2V. Using unapproved batteries will
invalidate your guarantee and may
damage the telephone.

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

Fully discharging the batteries at least
once a week will help them last as long
as possible.

However, charge capacity of rechargeable
batteries will reduce with time as they
wear out, so reducing talk/standby
time of the handset. Eventually they
will need to be replaced. New batteries
can be obtained from the BT Synergy
Helpline on 08706 058 047.

After charging your handset for the first
time, subsequent charging time for the
battery is approximately 6-8 hours a
day. Batteries and handset may be come
warm during charging. This is normal.

Under ideal condition the handset
batteries should give about 14 hours
talk time or 350 hours standby on a
single charge. (This does not mean you
can unplug the base station or leave it
for this length of time without charge.)

Please note however, that new NiMH
batteries do not reach full capacity
until they have been in normal use for
several days.

Note

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

The handset has a range of 300 metres
outdoors and up to 50 metres indoors.
The stated range of this product is
measured in open field conditions.
Walls, ceilings and metal structures will
reduce the maximum range.

SETTING UP

13

5 Connect the telephone line cord

6 Attach the belt clip (optional)

Customer Helpline

If you have any difficulties setting up
your Synergy 3200 SMS please call the
Helpline on 08706 058 047.

Note

It is recommended that you do not
connect the telephone line cord to the
phone socket until your handset is fully
charged. This will prevent the risk of
the batteries discharging during a
conversation which could cause you to
lose a call.

Your Synergy 3200 SMS is now ready

for use.

Fit the belt clip onto the back of the
handset if required.

Call Waiting

Providing you have subscribed to your

you will hear a soft beep every 5
seconds if an incoming call arrives
while you are already on the phone.
This beep is not audible to the person
you are speaking to. The second caller’s
number (and name if already stored in
the Phonebook) will appear on the
handset display.

Instead of the engaged tone, the second
caller will hear an announcement to
hold on as you are aware that there is a
second call.

To use Call Waiting

You can answer the second call
without disconnecting your first
caller, by pressing the R button.
The first caller is put on hold.

When you have spoken to your
second caller, you can return to
the first caller by pressing the
R button again. In this way you
can switch back and forth
between the two calls without
disconnecting either.

If you want to disconnect the first
caller, press the TALK button
after speaking to the first caller.
The handset will then ring.

Press the TALK button again to
connect to your second caller.

The second caller will only be
charged for their call from the

initial contact.
