SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Battery
CAUTION: Use Only Supplied Battery. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. Check with local waste management codes for special disposal instructions.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause burns or injury to the eyes or skin. The electrolyte may be toxic if swallowed. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive materials. Charge the battery provided with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), 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.
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 TV 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 battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries
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.

Receive phonebook entries from your cell phone.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Refer to the user's manual of your Bluetooth enabled cell phone for more information about how that device uses Bluetooth connectivity.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (a maximum of approximately 30 feet) from the telephone base. Keep connected cell phones within this range. For optimal performance, keep your cell phone within 15 feet of the telephone base while using the DS6611 cell line.
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the DS6611 cannot improve the reception. However, if there is a location in your house with better reception, you can leave your cell phone at that location while using the DS6611 cell line.
If you experience poor sound quality, place your cell phone closer to the DS6611 to ensure strong Bluetooth signal strength. Make sure there are no physical obstacles between the DS6611 and the cell phone, such as large furniture or thick walls.
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 Bluetooth setup to learn how to set up and manage your Bluetooth enabled devices. Refer to Telephone operation on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new DS6611 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology.

Frequently asked questions
Below are the questions most frequently asked about the cordless telephone. If you cannot find the answer to your question, visit our website at
www.vtechcanada.com or call 1 (800) 267-7377 for customer service.
My telephone does not work at all.
Make sure the telephone base is installed properly, and battery is installed and charged correctly. For optimum daily performance, return the handset to the telephone base after use.
The display shows No line. I cannot hear the dial tone.
Disconnect the telephone line cord from your telephone and connect it to another telephone. If there is no dial tone on that other telephone either, then the telephone line cord may be defective. Try installing a new telephone line cord.
If changing telephone line cord does not help, the wall jack (or the wiring to this wall jack) may be defective. Contact your telephone service provider.
You may be using a new cable or VoIP service, the existing telephone jacks in your home may no longer work. Contact your service provider for solutions.
I cannot dial out.
Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.
Eliminate any background noise. Mute the handset before dialing, or dial from another room in your home with less background noise.
The display shows To register HS... and ...see manual alternately. The handset does not work at all.
The handset is deregistered from the telephone base.
Place the handset in the telephone base to register it back. The handset shows Registered and you hear a beep when the registration process completes. This process takes about 90 seconds to complete.
The display shows Low battery.
Place the handset in the telephone base or charger for charging.
The battery does not charge in the handset or the handset battery does not accept charge.

Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
36
I hear other calls when using the telephone.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack. Plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.
I hear noise on the cordless handset and the keys do not work.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in securely.
There is interference during a telephone conversation. My calls fade out when I am using the cordless handset.
The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet.
The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of your cordless phone. For better reception, install the telephone base in a centralized location within your home or office, away from walls or other obstructions. In many environments, elevating the telephone base improves overall performance.

Make sure to plug your USB telephone adapter into a dedicated USB port on your computer. Do not plug into a multiple port USB hub (USB splitter) that is not powered.
In a few rare instances, the USB port on your computer may not have enough power. In these instances, try using a USB hub with its own external power supply.
If you are using a firewall, it may prevent access to your nontraditional telephone service. Contact your service provider for more information.
