Setting Up the CellLink™ Bluetooth™ Connection

The new D3280 with CellLink technology can connect with mobile phones t hat
support t he Bluetooth V2.0 handsfree profile.

Visit Uniden.com or contact customer ser vice for a detailed list of tested mobile
phones.

If you are not certain of the profi les supported by your Bluetooth phone or if you

♦

have dif ficulty pairing your phone to the D3280, see the manual that came with
your phone.

With the CellLink feature, you can essentially treat your cellular phone as a

♦

second line. You can use the D3280 handset to make and receive calls on your
cellular phone number, put cellular calls on hold, and transfer cal ls to other
handsets. See page 10 for more informat ion.

Bluetooth wireless devices have a maximum range of about 10 feet (3 m); the

♦

actual range will vary depending on local conditions (obstacles, batter y power,
interference, etc.).

Pair your Bluetooth phone

Pairing “introduces” two Bluetooth devices and gives them permission to connect
to each other. In most cases, once you pair a phone to the D3280, the two devices
connect automatically whenever they detect each other. (If you have to manually
reconnect each time, check the Bluetoot h settings on your cellular phone.) You can
pair your Bluetooth dev ices t hrough the D3280 handset.

your phone asks if you want to pair wit h this device, answer yes.

When your phone accepts the Bluetooth connection, the D3280 sounds a

The D3280 remembers the pairing information for your cellular; if it loses

♦

connection with your phone for any reason (e.g., the cell phone travels out of
range, runs out of charge, etc.), the D3280 can automatically reconnect the
next time your phone becomes available.

Using the D3280 with four Bluetooth phones

The D3280 can save the pairing information for four different Bluetooth phones,

♦

but it can only use one cellular line at any given time. For example, if you pair the

D3280 to four Bluetooth phones, when you press

CELL

on the handset, the D3280

asks which phone you want to connect to.
If you are using the D3280 to ta lk on one Bluetooth phone, the D3280 will not

♦

ring if a call comes in on another phone.
You can set a different ring tone for each paired cell phone (see page 8).

♦

To pair another Bluetooth phone, just repeat the pairing procedure with the new

♦

phone. (If the paired phones interfere when you’re pairing the new one, just turn
off Bluetooth on any paired phones until you f inish pairing the the new one.)
