2Charge the handset battery pack for at least 16 hours

A battery pack is pre-installed within the handset.

Place the handset on the base station. The red charging light will come on. The battery symbol is shown on the display during charging. Leave to charge for at least 16 hours.

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

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.

Helpline

If you are experiencing difficulty, please call the Synergy Helpline on

0845 769 7146.

Battery performance

The charge capacity of rechargeable battery packs will reduce with time as they wear out, so reducing talk/standby time of the handset. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New battery packs can be obtained from any BT Shop or from the Helpline on 0845 769 7146.

After charging your handset for the first time, subsequent charging time for the battery pack is approximately 6-8 hours a day. Battery pack and case may become warm during charging, this is normal.

Under ideal conditions, the handset battery pack should give about 12 hours talktime or 150 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 NiCad battery packs do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.
