Getting started

Location

You need to place your BT Synergy base 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 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

Connect the base
1. Plug the mains power cable (item code 040497) into the socket
marked on the underside of the base and plug the other end
into the mains power wall socket and switch the power on.
The telephone cable is pre-installed in the base but do not
connect the other end to the telephone wall socket yet.
Telephone line cord
(pre-installed)

WARNING
Do not place your BT Synergy in the
bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Synergy 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 out
of range of the base the
flash and 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 at all times.
Do not connect the telephone line
cord into the wall socket until the
handset is fully charged. Only use the
power and telephone cables supplied
with the product.
