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:
