  This product is intended for connection to analogue public switched 

telephone networks and private switchboards in the United 
Kingdom.

rechargeable batteries are available from the BT Synergy Helpline 
on 0800 145 6789*. There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are 
replaced by an incorrect type.

•  Do not open the handset (except to replace the handset batteries) 

or the base. This could expose you to high voltages or other risks. 
Contact the Helpline on 0800 145 6789* for all repairs.

•  Radio signal transmitted between the handset and base may cause 

interference to hearing aids.

•  It is recommended that advice from a qualified expert be sought

It is recommended that you place your product at least one metre 
away from such appliances to minimise any risk of interference.

•  Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion 

and/or the release of highly toxic chemicals. Dispose of batteries 
according to the instructions.

•  Clean the handset and base (or charger) with a damp (not wet) cloth, 

or an anti-static wipe.

  Never use household polish as this will damage the product. Never 

use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

•  Do not expose to direct sunlight.

•  The handset may become warm when the batteries are being 

charged or during prolonged periods of use. This is normal. However, 
we recommend that to avoid damage you do not place the product

in damp or humid conditions, such as bathrooms.

electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug the power and 
telephone line cord during an electrical storm.
