GETTING STARTED

Installing Your Phone

Charge the Battery

Unpack all handsets,
battery packs,
and battery
covers. If you
need to
remove a
cover, press
in on the
notch and slide the cover down and
off.

Line up the battery connector with
the jack inside the handset; the
connector only fits one way.

Push the connector in until it clicks
into place; tug gently on the wires
to make sure the battery is securely
connected.

Replace the battery cover and slide it
into place.

Use an AC adapter to connect the
power jack on the base to a regular
indoor (120V AC) power outlet.
Connect any chargers the same way.

Place a handset in the base with the
display facing forward. If the display
doesn’t light up, reseat the handset or
connect the base to a different outlet.
For 2 or more handsets, place each
handset in a charger.

Charge all handsets completely
(about 15 hours) before using.

Connect the Telephone Cord

Use the telephone cord to connect the

TEL LINE

jack on the base to a standard

telephone wall jack.

Test the Connection

Pick up the handset and press

Home/

FlasH

. The handset sounds a dial

tone, and the display shows

Talk

.

If you don't hear a dial tone or
the display says

Check Tel Line,

check the connection between
the base and the phone jack.

Make a quick test call. (Press

end

to

hang up.)

If you keep hearing a dial tone,
change to pulse dialing.

If there’s a lot of noise, check
for interference (see p. 22).

Test all handsets the same way. If
you can't get a dial tone, move the
handset closer to the base.

Changing to Pulse Dialing

Your phone uses tone dialing by default.
If your phone company uses pulse
dialing, you need to change your phone’s
dial mode.

Press

menu/select

and choose

Global

Setup

.

Select

Dial Mode

then

Pulse

. You’ll

hear a confirmation tone.

To send DTMF tones during a call (e.g.,
for an automated response system),
press * to temporarily switch to tone
dialing. When you hang up, the phone
automatically returns to pulse dialing.

Attaching the Belt Clip

Line up the holes on each side of the
handset. Insert the belt clip into the
holes on each side of the handset. Press
down until it clicks.

To remove the belt clip, pull either side
of the belt clip to release the tabs from
the holes.

Setting Up the CellLink™ Bluetooth™ Connection

The new D3280 with CellLink technology can connect with mobile phones that
support the Bluetooth V2.0 handsfree profile.

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

If you are not certain of the profiles supported by your Bluetooth phone or if you
have difficulty 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 calls to other
handsets. See page 10 for more information.

Bluetooth wireless devices have a maximum range of about 10 feet (3 m); the
actual range will vary depending on local conditions (obstacles, battery 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 Bluetooth settings on your cellular phone.) You can
pair your Bluetooth devices through the D3280 handset.

Press

menu/select

to display the handset’s main menu.

Select the

Bluetooth

menu, then select the

Add Cell phone

submenu. The base goes

into pairing mode when the handset displays

Search & Select from Cellular D3280

PIN: 0000

.

On your Bluetooth phone, start a search for other Bluetooth devices. (This
process may take several seconds and it will be different for each mobile phone.
See your phone owner’s manual for detailed instructions.)

Your phone should discover a device called

D3280

or

Handsfree device

. When

your phone asks if you want to pair with this device, answer yes.
If your phone prompts you for a PIN code or password to pair with the D3280,

enter 0000 (four zeroes).
When your phone accepts the Bluetooth connection, the D3280 sounds a

confirmation tone. The Bluetooth device number icon on the base and the
handset display light up.

Most cell phones automatically transfer the audio to a Bluetooth device
as soon as it pairs; if yours does not, look in your cell phone’s Bluetooth
setup for a “transfer audio” or “send audio to device” option.

To test the connection

Pick up the handset from the cradle.

Dial the number you want to call, then press

CELL

on the handset. You may not

hear a dial tone or ringing, but the handset display says Talk.
Make sure the call connects and you can hear clearly. (When you’re finished,

press

END

to hang up.)

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 talk 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 finish pairing the the new one.)
