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.
- The maximum range between the base station and the handset is approximately
300 metres.
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.

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.
The BLUETOOTH® word mark and logos are owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc.

provider’s voicemaiI (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in answering system
messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages
differently.

new messages in the built-in answering system. To listen to messages recorded on
your digital answering system, press on the telephone base.
If and New voicemail display on telephone base and handsets, your telephone
service provider is indicating that it has new voicemai I 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.
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.
To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off your
answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail service,
contact your telephone service provider to deactivate yourvoicemaiI service.

provider. Then, 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.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your
voicemai I 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.
9.12.2 Message Capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each message can
be up to 3 minutes in length depending on the message length set. The total storage
capacity for the outgoing message, messages and memos is approximately 30
minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.

not work at all.
Make sure the batteries are installed and charged
correctly. For optimum daily performance, return the
handset to the telephone base after use.
Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into
an outlet.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged rmly into
the telephone base and the telephone wall jack.
Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base.
Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in.
Allow up to one minute for the handset and telephone
base to synchronize.
Remove and re-insert the batteries. If that still does not
work, it might be necessary to purchase new batteries.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone
wall jack and plug in a working telephone. If the other
telephone does not work, the problem is probably in
the wiring or the telephone service. Call your telephone

There is
interference
during a telephone
conversation.
My calls fade out
when I am using
the handset.
The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the
telephone base.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital
subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone line, you
must install a DSL lter between the telephone base
and the telephone wall jack. The lter prevents noise
and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference.
Please contact your DSL service provider for more
information about DSL lters.
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.
Other electronic products may cause interference to
your cordless telephone. Install your telephone as far
away as possible from the following electronic devices:
wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers,
cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms,
room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers,
kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.
If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a
surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge
protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t solve
the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem
farther apart from each other, or use a different surge
protector.
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 ofce, away from walls or
other obstructions. In many environments, elevating the
telephone base improves overall performance.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall
jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls are still not
clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or telephone
service. Contact your telephone service provider
(charges might apply).
If the other telephones in your home are having
the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or
telephone service. Contact your telephone service
provider (charges may apply).
