Link to cell feature

To use this feature, you must first register and connect your cellular phones to the base unit (page 20). Your cellular phones must be Bluetooth wireless technology compatible with this product.

This feature allows you to:

–make or answer cellular calls using your home phone (handset or base unit) with better reception.

–maximize the benefits of cellular services (such as free night and weekend calls, or cellular to cellular call plans) by utilizing unused peak minutes with your home phone.

–conserve the battery power of your cellular phone while the unit is on a cellular call. (We recommend charging your cellular phone during the cellular call as your cellular phone battery is being consumed.)

Important:

R Up to 2 cellular phones can be registered. However, only one Bluetooth device (cellular phone or headset) can be connected to the base unit at a time.

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.
