R The units use the preset ringer tones

(page 35) instead of your cellular phone’s ringer tone when a cellular call is being received if: – your cellular phone is in silent mode

(depending on your cellular phone). – the base unit is in use. – 2 handsets are sharing a landline call.

R If your cellular phone is in silent mode with

“On (with Talking CID)” set, the unit announces caller information even when Talking Caller ID is turned off (page 36).

To use the handset ringer tone instead of your cellular phone’s ringer tone

Select “Off” in step 2, “Ring as cell mode”, page 18. To change the handset ringer tone for a cellular line, see page 34.

Auto connection to the Bluetooth devices (cellular phones)

After pairing, your Bluetooth devices are connected to the base unit. If you move the Bluetooth devices out of base unit range, the Bluetooth devices are disconnected from the base unit. This feature allows the base unit to try to reconnect the cellular phone at regular intervals when it returns within base unit

range. You can set the interval. The default setting is “1 min”.

Important:

R When you are using a cellular line, the base

unit loses its connection from other Bluetooth devices (cellular phone). To automatically resume the connection to cellular phones, leave the auto connection on.

R Some cellular phones lose connection after

usage, please check the specifications of your cellular phone for more details.

Connecting/disconnecting the cellular phone manually

If you will not be using the paired cellular phone’s link to cell feature temporarily (for example, you do not want the unit to ring when your cellular line receives a call), you can disconnect your cellular phone from the base unit. If you want to use it again, reconnect the cellular phone to the base unit.

Note:

R Even if a paired cellular phone was

disconnected from the base unit, if it is brought within the base unit’s range during the auto connection interval, it may automatically connect to the base unit (page 18).

R A disconnected cellular phone is not

unpaired from the base unit, so pairing it to the base unit again is unnecessary.
