Setting up  
Follow these steps to set up your Synergy 3500 ready for use  
settings of the answering machine, see  
page 16, and the message counter will  
Plan the location  
be displayed.  
Position your Synergy 3500 within 2  
metres of a power socket and phone  
socket otherwise extension cables will  
be required.  
Note  
The message counter will flash  
between Oand Cuntil the day and  
time are set, see page 15.  
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away  
from other electrical products to avoid  
interference.  
Do not place your Synergy 3500 product  
in the bathroom or other humid areas.  
Note  
The Synergy 3500 has a range of up  
to 300 metres outdoors and up to  
50 metres indoors. The range will be  
reduced when there is no clear line  
of sight between the base and handset.  
Thick stone walls can severely affect  
the range.

Connect the power supply to  
the base  
Note  
The base station must be plugged into  
the mains power socket at all times.  
Plug the power adaptor into the mains  
power socket and switch on. The green

batteries in the handset  
BATTERY LEVELS  
WEAK  
HALF-FULL  
FULL  
The handset uses two rechargeable  
Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) AAA  
batteries which are supplied. Take  
care to insert the batteries as shown  
and then fit the battery cover (the  
battery cover may be found in the  
packaging with the batteries).  
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.  
3
Charge the handset batteries  
for at least 16 hours  
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.  
Before you use your Synergy 3500 for  
the first time, it is important to have  
the handset batteries fully charged.  
The batteries need to charge  
continuously for at least 16 hours  
to reach full charge.  
Place the handset on the base. The  
red charging light will come on. The  
handset comes pre-registered to the  
base station as SYNERGYHS1. This is  
shown on the display. The  
icon and  
the battery icon are shown on the  
display. Once the handset is fully  
charged, the display shows a full  
battery symbol.

Connect the telephone line  
cord to the Synergy 3500  
base station  
Battery performance  
Under no circumstances should  
non-rechargeable batteries be used.  
Only use the approved batteries, type:  
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride  
(Ni-MH); size AAA; capacity  
550mAh 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 intial 16 hour charge).  
Please note, however, that new Nickel  
Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries  
do not reach their full capacity until  
they have been in normal use for  
several days.  
5
Connect the telephone line cord  
Note  
Fully discharging the batteries at  
least once a week will help them last  
as long as possible. However, the charge  
capacity of rechargeable batteries will  
reduce with time as they wear out,  
so reducing the talk/standby time  
of the handset. Eventually they will  
need to be replaced. New batteries  
can be obtained from the BT Synergy  
Helpline 08706 058 047.  
It is recommended that you do not  
connect the telephone line cord to the  
phone socket until your handset is  
fully charged. This will prevent the  
risk of the batteries discharging  
during a conversation, which could  
cause you to lose a call.  
Note: Under ideal conditions, the  
handset batteries should give about  
14 hours talktime or 350 hours  
standby on a single charge. Optimum  
times for talk and standby are only  
achieved when the handset batteries  
are fully charged.
