Location

You need to place your BT Synergy 4500 within 2 metres of the mains power socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach. Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference.

Your BT Synergy 4500 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.Push the mains power cord into the socket on the underside of the base until you hear it click into place and connect the other end to the mains power wall socket. The green Power/In use light comes on the machine announces, “Answer On, calls will be answered after 6 rings”. The message counter flashes 0 then C alternately to indicate that the clock needs setting.

Power adaptor cable

WARNING

Do not place your BT Synergy 4500 in the bathroom or other humid areas.

Handset range

The BT Synergy 4500 has a range of up to 300 metres outdoors when there is a clear line of sight between the base and handset. Any obstruction between the base and handset will reduce the range significantly. With the base indoors and handset either indoors or outdoors, the range will normally be up to 50 metres. Thick stone walls can severely affect the range.

Signal strength

The icon on your handset indicates when you are in range.

When you move out of range of the base, the out of range tone will sound every minute. This tone is repeated until you move back into range.

IMPORTANT

The base station must be plugged into the mains power socket at all times. Do not connect the telephone line until the handset is fully charged. Only use the power and telephone cables supplied with the product.
