Do not place your BT Synergy 5100 in the 

bathroom or other humid areas.

The BT Synergy 5100 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.

The   icon on your handset indicates when you 

are in range. When out of range of the base the 

 icon will flash and the out-of-range tone will 

sound every minute. This tone is repeated until 

you move back into range.

The base station must be plugged into the mains 

power at all times. Do not connect the telephone 

line cord into the wall socket until the handset is 

fully charged. Only use the power and telephone 

cables supplied with the product.

  You need to place your BT Synergy 5100 base 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 5100 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

  Connect the base

1.  Plug the mains power cable into the socket marked   on the underside of 

the base and plug the other end into the mains power wall socket and switch 
the power on.

  The telephone cable is pre-installed in the base but do not connect the other 

end to the telephone wall socket yet.
