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.
Use the telephone cord to connect the TEL LINE jack on the base to a
standard telephone wall jack.
Connect the Telephone Cord
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 24).
3. Test all handsets the same way. If you can’t get a dial tone, move the
handset closer to the base.
# Charge all handsets completely (about 15 hours) before using.

Setting Up the MobileLink Bluetooth Connection
The new DECT 3216 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 3216 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 3216 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 10m (33 feet);
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 3216 and gives them
permission to connect to each other. In most cases, once you pair a phone
to the DECT 3216, 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 3216 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 3216 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 3216 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 3216 enter 0000 (four zeroes).
6. When your phone accepts the Bluetooth connection, the DECT 3216
sounds a confirmation tone. The Bluetooth device number icon on the
base and the handset display light up.
7
# 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.
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 3216 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 3216 can
automatically reconnect the next time your phone becomes available.
To Test the Connection
Using the DECT
3216 with two Bluetooth phones
The DECT 3216 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 3216 to two Bluetooth phones, when you press MOBILE
on the handset, the DECT 3216 asks which phone you want to connect to.
If you are using the DECT 3216 to talk on one Bluetooth phone, the DECT
3216 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.)
