2.1 Package Contents
The package contains the following items:
Handset (1 for DS8121A, 2 for DS8121-2A)
1 Base unit
1 AC power adapter for base
2 Telephone line cords
NiMH rechargeable battery pack (1 for DS8121A, 2 for DS8121-2A)
Charger with AC power adapter (1 set for DS8121-2A)
User’s manual
Warranty card
Wall mount bracket
2.2 Location
For maximum coverage and reduce the interference, here are some guidelines you should consider when you place the base unit:
- Place your telephone within 2 metres of the mains power socket and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.
- Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your telephone works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you locate the base. Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.
If the reception for a base unit location is not satisfactory, move it to another location for better reception.
Depending on the surrounding conditions as well as spatial and structural factors, the range may be reduced. The range indoors is normally less than outdoors.

BLUETOOTH

4.1 Introducing BLUETOOTH®
Your new telephone system with BLUETOOTH® wireless technology has the following features:
• Pair up to 4 BLUETOOTH® enabled devices (mobile phones or headsets) with the telephone base.
• Connect a maximum of 2 mobile phones to make and receive mobile calls. Only one mobile phone can be active on a call at a time.
• Connect a BLUETOOTH® enabled headset for making and receiving home calls.
• Conference mobile and home calls.
• Make and receive calls using your mobile phone plan with your cordless system handsets.
4.2 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 mobile phone or headset for more information about how that device uses BLUETOOTH® connectivity.
• BLUETOOTH® wireless technology operates within a short range (up to 9 metres) from the telephone base. Keep connected mobile phones and headsets within this range.
• If your mobile phone has poor reception in your home, the telephone cannot improve the reception. However, if you have a location in your house with better reception, you can leave your mobile phone in that location while you use the mobile line. In order for this to work, the mobile phone must be within 4.5 metres of the telephone base for optimal performance.
• Charge your mobile phone while it is connected to the telephone base. Your mobile phone’s battery discharges faster while it is connected to the telephone base via BLUETOOTH® wireless technology.
• Monitor your mobile phone’s usage, because minutes may be deducted from your mobile plan for the duration of all mobile calls, depending on the terms of your plan.
