INSTALLING YOUR PHONE

Charge the Battery

1. Unpack all handsets, battery packs, and battery
covers.

2. If you need to remove a cover, press in on the
notch and slide the cover down and off.

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

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

5. Replace the battery cover and slide it into place.

6. Use an AC adaptor to connect the power jack on the base to a regular
indoor (240V AC) power outlet. Connect any chargers the same way.

7. 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

1. 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.

2. Make a quick test call. (Press END to hang up.)

- If there’s a lot of noise, check for interference (see page 30).

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

5

Setting Up the MobileLink Bluetooth Connection

The new DECT 3136BT with MobileLink technology can connect with
mobile phones that support the Bluetooth V2.1 handsfree profile.

If you are not certain of the profiles supported by your Bluetooth phone or if
you have difficulty pairing your phone to the DECT 3136BT see the manual
that came with your phone.

With the MobileLink feature, you can essentially treat your mobile phone
as a second line. You can use the DECT 3136BT handset to make and
receive calls on your mobile phone number, put mobile calls on hold, and
transfer calls to other handsets. See page 7 for more information.

Bluetooth wireless devices have a maximum range of about 33 feet (10 m);
the actual range will vary depending on local conditions (obstacles, battery
power, interference, etc.).

Pair your Bluetooth phone

Pairing “introduces” the Bluetooth device and DECT 3136BT and gives
them permission to connect to each other. In most cases, once you pair
a phone to the DECT 3136BT, these two devices connect automatically
whenever they detect each other. (If you have to manually reconnect each
time, check the Bluetooth settings on your mobile phone.) You can pair
your Bluetooth devices through the DECT 3136BT handset.

1. Press MENU/SELECT to display the handset’s main menu.

2. Select the Bluetooth Setup menu, then select the Add Mobile submenu.
The base goes into pairing mode when the handset displays Search &
select from Mobile DECT 3136BT PIN: 0000.

3. 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.)

4. Your phone should discover a device called DECT 3136BT or Handsfree
device. When your phone asks if you want to pair with this device,
answer yes.

5. If your phone prompts you for a PIN code or password to pair with the
DECT 3136BT enter 0000 (four zeroes).

6. When your phone accepts the Bluetooth connection, the DECT 3136BT
sounds a confirmation tone. The Bluetooth device number icon on the
base and the handset display light up.

6

# Most mobile phones automatically transfer the audio to a Bluetooth device

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

To Test the Connection

1. Pick up the handset from the cradle.

2. Dial the number you want to call, then press MOBILE on the handset. You
may not hear a dial tone or ringing, but the handset display says Talk.

3. Make sure the call connects and you can hear clearly. (When you are
finished, press END/CLEAR to hang up.)

4. The DECT 3136BT remembers the pairing information for your mobile;
if it loses connection with your phone for any reason (e.g., the mobile
phone travels out of range, runs out of charge, etc.), the DECT 3136BT
can automatically reconnect the next time your phone becomes
available.

Using the DECT 3136BT+1 with two Bluetooth phones

The DECT 3136BT can save the pairing information for two different
Bluetooth phones, but it can only use one mobile line at any given time. For
example, if you pair the DECT 3136BT to two Bluetooth phones, when you
press MOBILE on the handset, the DECT 3136BT asks which phone you want
to connect to.

If you are using the DECT 3136BT to talk on one Bluetooth phone, the
DECT 3136BT will not ring if a call comes in on another phone.

You can set a different ring tone for each paired mobile phone (see page

13).

To pair another Bluetooth phone, just repeat the pairing procedure with
the new phone. (If the paired phone interferes when you’re pairing the new
one, just turn off Bluetooth on the paired phone until you finish pairing the
new one.)

USING SPECIAL FEATURES

Power Failure Back Up System

When a power failure occurs, the charged handset temporarily supplies
power to the base unit. You can then make and receive calls using a
handset. However, none of the keys on the base unit are functional during
the power failure mode.

When a power failure occurs, place the charged handset on the base, the
handset LCD backlight is illuminated for about 10 secs and the message
“Supplying power Handset >> Base” is displayed on the LCD.

After 3 seconds, the message “Please don’t pick up the handset” is
displayed on the LCD.

If the handset is lifted from the base during the power back up mode, the
message “Please put on the base cradle” will be displayed on the LCD.

If the battery level is low, the unit will not work efficently during the power
failure mode. In addition, in case the handset battery power runs out, we
recommend connecting a corded-type telephone to the same telephone
line.

Making Calls

To make a call during the power failure mode, follow the steps given below:

1. Taking care not to lift the handset from the base, press TALK/FLASH (the
speakerphone is turned on automatically). Dial the number.

2. After you finish, press END.

When more than one handset is registered:

• You should leave one handset on the base unit for supplying the power,

and use another handset for making calls. Please refer to the “Using
your Phone’ section on page 15 for details.

• During a call with the handset placed on the base unit (power back-up

mode), the call may be disconnected if you touch the handset. In such a
case, try to call back.

• The range of the base unit is limited during a power failure. Please use

the handset close to the base.

Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

Liquid Damage

CAUTION: If the base is covered in liquid, disconnect the adaptor and
phone cord from the wall before touching it.

If the liquid is only on the exterior housing of the base or handset, wipe it
off and use as normal. If you can hear liquid inside the housing:

1. Remove all compartment covers, and disconnect all cables and cords.

2. If liquid is leaking from any vent or hole, turn the phone so that vent
faces down. If not, place the largest vent face down.

3. Let dry for at least 3 days. Check for liquid inside the phone before
replacing compartment covers and reconnecting cords.
