Link to Cell

Link to cell feature

You can connect your base unit and cellular phone using Bluetooth wireless technology, so that you can make or answer cellular calls using your phone system. This allows you to:

–use the unit to talk on cellular calls even if some areas of your home have poor cellular reception, simply by placing your cellular phone in an area with good reception.

–talk on cellular calls even if your cellular phone is in your pocket or bag.

–enjoy cordless cellular calls even if your cellular phone plugged in and charging.

Important:

R Your cellular phone must support the Hands Free Profile (HFP) specification.

R You may pair 2 cellular phones and 1 headset. R The unit can be used to talk on 2 lines at the

same time (for example, 2 cellular lines, or the landline and 1 cellular line).

R Only 2 Bluetooth devices can be used with the unit at the same time (for example, 2 cellular lines, or the headset and 1 cellular line).

R Locate your cellular phone near the base unit. If the cellular phone is too close to the base unit during a cellular call, you may hear noise. For best performance, we recommend placing the cellular phone between 0.6 m to 3 m (2 feet to 10 feet) away from the base unit.

Pairing a cellular phone

Important:

R For more details and the list of compatible cellular phones, please visit our Web site: www.panasonic.com/link2cell

unit to reject calls that have no phone number. The call block numbers can be stored into the call block list for “Block a single number” and “Block range of numbers” up to 250 items in total.

Rejecting unwanted callers:

When a call is received, the unit rings briefly*1 while caller information is being received.

If the caller’s phone number matches an entry in the call block list, the unit emits no sound to the caller, and disconnects the call.
