4.Charge the handset battery for at least 16 hours

Before you use your Synergy 900 for the first time it is important to have the handset battery fully charged. We recommend that you leave the Synergy 900 Handset on charge for at least 16 hours. Place the handset on the base station. The CHARGING light comes on. Your handset should come pre-registered to the base station as HSET1. If the display shows REG, you will need to register the handset manually by following the simple steps on page 24, “To register a handset”.

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

Battery performance

After charging your Synergy 900 for the first time, subsequent charging time for the handset batteries is approximately 4-5 hours. Batteries and case may become warm during charging.

This is normal and not dangerous.

Under ideal conditions, the handset battery should give about 6 hours talktime or 60 hours standby on a single charge. Please note, however, that the new NiCad battery, does not reach its full capacity until it has been in normal use for several days.

Please note that while NiCad rechargeable batteries can be expected to give years of service they do not last forever. Their actual lifespan depends on how heavily they are used but over time, their capacity to recharge will begin to diminish and they will eventually need replacing.

Battery low warning

Your handset display will show the status of your battery:

When the charge is low, the battery icon

is displayed.

When the charge is almost out, you will also hear a warning beep every 10 seconds (during a call) in the earpiece. This indicates that the handset is about to switch off.

5.Connect the telephone line cord to the Synergy 900 base station

Plug the line cord into the line socket on the underside of your Synergy 900.
