traditional telephone service, to connect the modem/router/terminal adapter installed in
your home.
To allow all existing telephone jacks to work, contact your telephone service provider
for solutions, such as rewiring services (fees may apply).
If your answer is no, your existing telephone jacks will continue to work as normal.

Introducing Bluetooth
Your new DS6751 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has the
following features:
Pair and connect up to a maximum of two cell phones with the telephone base to
•
make and receive cell calls. Only one cell phone can be active on a call at
a time.
Make and receive calls using your cell phone plan while utilizing the ease and
•
comfort of your home telephone system.
Receive directory 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 DS6751 cell line.
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the DS6751 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 you use the DS6751 cell line.
If you experience poor sound quality, your cell phone may be too far away from the
•
telephone base. To improve Bluetooth signal strength, place your cell phone closer
to the telephone base (within 15 feet) and make sure that there are no physical
obstacles between the telephone base and the cell phone, such as large furniture or
thick walls.
