Introducing Bluetooth
Your new DS6321/6322 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology
has the following features:
Pair up to four Bluetooth enabled cell phones with the telephone base.
•
Connect a maximum of two cell phones to make and receive cell calls.
•
Only one cell phone can be active on a call at a time.
Connect a Bluetooth enabled headset for making and receiving home calls.
•
Conference cell and home calls.
•
Make and receive calls using your cell phone plan while utilizing the ease
•
and comfort of your home telephone system.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
After plugging in the telephone base, wait at least 20 seconds before
•
connecting a Bluetooth device. The screen shows Bluetooth system busy
if you try to connect too soon.
Refer to the user's manual of your Bluetooth enabled cell phone or
•
headset for more information about how that device uses Bluetooth
connectivity.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (about 1
•
to 30 feet) from the telephone base. Keep connected cell phones and
headset within this range.
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the DS6321/6322
•
cannot improve the reception. However, if you have a location in your
house with better reception, you can leave your cell phone in that location
while you use the DS6321/6322 cell line. In order for this to work, the
telephone base must be within 30 feet of the cell phone.
Charge your cell phone while it is connected to the telephone base.
•
Your cell phone's battery will discharge faster while it is connected to the
telephone base via Bluetooth wireless technology.
Monitor your cell phone's usage because minutes are deducted from your
•
cellular plan for the duration of all cell calls.
Refer to the Bluetooth setup section (page 14) to learn how to set up and
manage your Bluetooth enabled device(s). Refer to the Telephone operation
section (page 39) on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new
DS6321/6322 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology. Refer to
the Troubleshooting section (page 77) if you experience difculty using the
telephone system.

Glossary of terms
Below are some terms used in this user’s manual to help you become
familiar with using your Bluetooth enabled devices and your new
DS6321/6322 telephone system.
Active devices - a maximum of two paired devices (two cell phones, or one
cell phone and one headset) on the active devices list can be connected to
the telephone base, but only one cell phone or headset can be on a call at
a time.
Bluetooth cell phone - refers to a Bluetooth enabled cellular telephone.
Cell line - the telephone line associated with your cell phone service. On
your DS6321/6322 handset, press /CELL to use the cell line.
Connected - a Bluetooth enabled device (cell phone or headset) can only be
used when it is connected to the telephone base. When a Bluetooth enabled
device is connected to the telephone base and active on the active devices
list, it will be ready for use.
Disconnected - a diagonal line appears across devices 1 and/or 2 when
the corresponding Bluetooth enabled device is disconnected from the
telephone base.
Discoverable mode - before a Bluetooth enabled device can be paired, it
must be set to this mode. When pairing your cell phone, the telephone base
will be set to this mode. When pairing a headset, the headset must be set to
this mode. Depending on the manufacturer, this mode is sometimes referred
to as Find Me or Visibility.
Home line - your conventional telephone land line. On your DS6321/6322
handset, press /HOME/FLASH to use the home line.
Paired devices - once Bluetooth enabled devices have been paired with the
telephone base, they will appear on the paired devices list. A maximum of
four devices can be paired with the telephone base, but only two can be on
the active devices list.
Pairing - this refers to the process of Bluetooth enabled devices registering
device information with each other. The telephone base must be paired with a
Bluetooth enabled cell phone or headset before the Bluetooth device can be
used. Depending on the manufacturer, this is also referred to as Bonding.
PIN - by default, the PIN is 0000 for the telephone base and for most
Bluetooth devices. PIN information must be exchanged between
Bluetooth devices before they can be used. This is also known as a
Passkey or Passcode.

About caller ID
This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service
providers. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s
number, or the caller’s name and number from the telephone service provider
after the rst or second ring. Caller ID from the home line allows you to see
the name, number, date and time of the incoming calls. However, caller ID
from the cell line only shows the number of the incoming caller; date and time
of the call is not shown. The caller ID may appear differently if the caller is
matched to a directory entry (see Memory match on page 59).
Information about caller ID with call waiting
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the
caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature.
Contact your telephone service provider and cell phone service provider if:
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you
•
may need to combine these services).
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
•
You do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.
•
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be
available in all areas.
Caller ID information is available only if both you and the caller are in
areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone service providers
use compatible equipment.
Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers
may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view call
log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must save the entry
to the directory (see page 61).
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this
product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID
with call waiting service.

Caller ID history
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service
provider and/or cell phone service provider, information about each caller
appears after the rst or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller
information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
The call log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the
•
phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the name has more
than 15 characters, only the rst 15 characters are shown and saved in
the call log.
You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory.
•
Entries are in reverse chronological order.
•
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new
•
incoming call information.
XX Missed call(s) shows when there are new call log entries (including
•
missed and unreviewed calls).
Call log empty shows when there are no records in the call log.

When the incoming telephone number exactly matches a telephone
number in your directory, the name appears on the screen will match the
corresponding name in your directory.
For example, when Linda Jones calls, her name will appear as Linda if this is
how you entered it into your directory.
The number shown in the call log will be in the format sent by the telephone
service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers ten-digit
phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of
the caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name will
appear as it is delivered by the telephone service provider. For example, if the
telephone service provider includes the area code but your directory number
does not, the name will appear as delivered by the telephone service provider.

Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your
service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in
answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each
alerts you to new messages differently.
If and New voicemail display on the handsets, your telephone
•
service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen
to your voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your
telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.
To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press
•
/PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 65).
Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail
and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check
what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone
service provider.
You can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by
setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers.
To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone
service provider. If you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy
recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can
leave a voicemail message by following the instructions below.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your
voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six
rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail
providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead
of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the
appropriate setting.
Message capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each
message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for
the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes.
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (W TR), an independent research entity, led a
multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR
recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients:
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
•
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,
•
when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
•
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons
using wireless telephones.
Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the ma ximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate
over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and
handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or ofce.
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays Out of range OR No power at base.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might
not connect well when you press /HOME/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then
press /HOME/FLASH to answer the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.
To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.
Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if
you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or
handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your
own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean
it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or mild soap. Do not use excess water or
cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or
standing in the water. If the telephone base should fall into the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT
UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL.
Then remove the telephone by the unplugged cords.

Appendix
About cordless telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some
•
limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the cordless
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations
could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For
this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as
those on corded telephones.
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a
•
working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls
cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off,
or if the electrical power is interrupted.
Potential T V interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
•
interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place
the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR often reduces
or eliminates the interference.
Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short
•
circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the batter y and the bat tery
charger.
Nickel- metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these bat teries in a safe manner. Do
•
not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they
could release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC® seal
The RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that V Tech Communications, Inc. is
voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of
