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)
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.
Battery performance
After charging your Synergy 900 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.
4. Charge the handset battery for at
least 16 hours
Before you use your Synergy 900 for the first
time it is important to have the handset battery
fully charged. We recommend that you leave the
Synergy 900 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 HSET1. If the display shows REG, you will need
to register the handset manually by following the
simple steps on page 24, “To register a handset”.
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.
5. Connect the telephone line cord to
the Synergy 900 base station
Plug the line cord into the line socket on the
underside of your Synergy 900.
