Method for synchronising mobile equipment in a CDMA system comprising a plurality of base stations (11) for communicating with the mobile equipment (12). The base stations (11) are mutually synchronised, and each base station (11) has a synchronisation channel transmit timing offset within a synchronisation time slot (20). The method comprises the step of synchronising the mobile equipment (12) by matching a synchronisation code in the synchronisation time slot (20). Also the following steps are executed by the method: scanning a base radio signal (13) during at least one frame (15) for detecting a signal portion with predetermined characteristics, such as received power peaks (23), the signal portion not being the synchronisation code; deriving timing information associated with the CDMA system from the signal portion; and starting the synchronisation step of the mobile equipment (12) using the timing information.
