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.
