Location
You need to place your BT Synergy 4500 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 4500 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
1. Push the mains power cord into the socket on the
underside of the base until you hear it click into place
and connect the other end to the mains power wall
socket. The green Power/In use light comes on the
machine announces,
“Answer On, calls will be answered
after 6 rings”
. The message counter flashes
0
then
C
alternately to indicate that the clock needs setting.
WARNING
Do not place your BT Synergy 4500 in
the bathroom or other humid areas.
Handset range
The BT Synergy 4500 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 you move out of range of the
base, 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 socket at all
times. Do not connect the telephone
line until the handset is fully
charged. Only use the power and
telephone cables supplied with the
product.
