Plan the location of your
Synergy 500
Your Synergy 500 works by sending
and receiving radio signals between
the base station and the handset.
The strength of the signal can depend
on where you site the base station.
Generally, the higher the base station
is located the better. An upstairs room
is ideal.
The following points should be
considered:
• It should be within 3 metres of a
power socket and phone socket
otherwise extension cables will be
required.
• Try to avoid locations near metallic
obstructions or electrical appliances,
such as TV sets, fridges, computers,
fluorescent lights, radiators, metal
pipes and metal window frames.
• It is possible to wall mount handset
2 with the charging cradle, for
instructions see page 26.
Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your Synergy 500 ready for use
Please note
The Synergy 500 has a range of up
to 300 metres outdoors and up to
50 metres indoors. It is possible that
the range may be affected by being
near water (e.g. large ponds, lakes
and the sea) as well as large metal
objects (e.g. radiators, metal
partition walls and steel girders).
If you move out of range during a
call you will hear a warning tone.
You should move closer to the
base station.
