Battery low warning
Your handset display will show the status of
your battery:
•
When the charge is low, the battery icon
is displayed.
•
When the charge is almost out, you will also
hear a warning beep every 10 seconds
(during a call) in the earpiece. This indicates
that the handset is about to switch off.

Charge the handset batter y for at
least 16 hours
Before you use your Synergy 1400 for the first
time it is important to have the handset battery
fully charged. We recommend that you leave the
Synergy 1400 Handset on charge for at least 16
hours. Place the handset on the base station.
The
CHARGING
light comes on. Your handset
should come pre-registered to the base station
as
HSET 1
. If the display shows
REG
, you will need
to register the handset manually by following the
simple steps on page 46, “To register a handset”.
BATTERY PERFORMANCE
To keep your battery in the best condition, leave
the handset off the base station for a few hours
at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge).
After charging your Synergy 1400 for the first
time, subsequent charging time for the handset
batteries is approximately 4-5 hours. Batteries
and case may become warm during charging.
This is normal and not dangerous.
Under ideal conditions, the handset battery
should give about 6 hours talktime or 60 hours
standby on a single charge. Please note, however,
that the new NiCad battery, does not reach its
full capacity until it has been in normal use for
several days.
Please note that while NiCad rechargeable
batteries can be expected to give years of service
they do not last forever. Their actual lifespan
depends on how heavily they are used but over
time, their capacity to recharge will begin to
diminish and they will eventually need replacing.
SETTING UP
WARNING
It is recommended that the line cord is not
connected until the handset is fully charged.
This will prevent the risk of the phone being
answered prior to the battery being fully charged
and therefore not working to its optimum
capacity.
