The telephone line cord is already
connected to your Synergy base unit,
so simply plug the telephone line cord
into the wall socket.
Please note
Handset 1 must be face up on the
base unit. The handset will not
charge if you place the handset
face down. If your handsets do not
have the full initial 16 hours charge,
you could find that your batteries
performance is affected.
Battery low warning
If the In Use light on your handset
flashes and you hear a warning tone
every ten seconds you will need to
recharge your handset.
Battery performance
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).
After charging your Synergy handset
for the first time, subsequent
charging time for the batteries is
approximately 6-8 hours. Batteries
and case may become warm during
charging. This is normal and not
dangerous.
Under ideal conditions, the handset
batteries should give about 12 hours
talktime or 150 hours standby on a
single charge.
Please note, however, that new
Ni-Cad batteries do not reach full
capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.
Please note that while the Ni-Cad
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.
