This user guide applies to both single and
multiple handset systems. The internal call
functions described in this guide apply only
to Synergy 3200 base stations with more than
one handset connected.
Important
If you wear a hearing aid, please note that the
Synergy 3200 works by sending radio signals
between the base station and the handset. These
signals may interfere with some hearing aids,
causing a humming noise.

SETTING UP
Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your Synergy 3200 SMS Handset and
Charger ready for use.
Plan the location
Position your Synergy 3200 SMS within 2
metres of a power socket otherwise extension
cables will be required.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from
other electrical products to avoid interference.
Do not place your Synergy 3200 SMS product
in the bathroom or other humid areas.
Plug the power adaptor into the mains power
socket on the underside of the charger.
Plug the adaptor into the mains power supply
and switch on. The green Power/In use light
comes on.
Note
The charger must be plugged into the mains power
socket at all times.
2 x NiMH AAA rechargeable batteries are
supplied.

Slide the battery compartment cover into place
(the battery cover may be found in the
packaging with the batteries).
2Install the batteries

SETTING UP
Before you use your Synergy 3200 SMS 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 in the charger. The red
charging light will come on.
Once the handset is fully charged, the display
shows a full battery symbol.
BATTERY EVE S
WEAK HA F-FU FU
3Charge the handset batteries
for at least 16 hours
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 (cont.)
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.
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.
