Link to cell featureYou can connect your base unit and cellular
phone using Bluetooth wireless technology, so
that you can make or answer cellular calls
using your phone system. This allows you to:
– use the unit to talk on cellular calls even if some areas of your home have poor
cellular reception, simply by placing your
cellular phone in an area with good
reception.
– talk on cellular calls even if your cellular phone is in your pocket or bag.
– enjoy cordless cellular calls even if your cellular phone plugged in and charging.
Important:
R Your cellular phone must support the
Hands Free Profile (HFP) specification.
R You may pair 2 cellular phones and 1
headset.
R The unit can be used to talk on 2 lines at
the same time (for example, 2 cellular lines,
or the landline and 1 cellular line).
R Only 2 Bluetooth devices can be used with
the unit at the same time (for example, 2
cellular lines, or the headset and 1 cellular
line).
R Locate your cellular phone near the base
unit. If the cellular phone is too close to the
base unit during a cellular call, you may
hear noise. For best performance, we
recommend placing the cellular phone
between 0.6 m to 3 m (2 feet to 10 feet)
away from the base unit.
Pairing a cellular phone
Important:
R For more details and the list of compatible
cellular phones, please visit our Web site:
www.panasonic.com/link2cell
R Before pairing a Bluetooth enabled cellular
phone to the base unit, make sure that no
other Bluetooth device such as a Bluetooth
headset is connected to your cellular phone.
1 Base unit:
Press and hold  MCELL 1 N or  MCELL 2 N
for a few seconds.
R After the corresponding CELL
indicator on the base unit starts
flashing, the rest of the procedure
must be completed within 5 minutes.
2 Your cellular phone:
While the corresponding CELL
indicator is flashing, follow the
instructions of your cellular phone to
enter the pairing mode.
RDepending on your cellular phone, it
may ask you to enter the Bluetooth
PIN (default:  “0000 ”). If your
cellular phone shows PassKey
confirmation on its display, follow
the directions to proceed.
3 Base unit:
Wait until a long beep sounds.
RIt may take more than 10 seconds
to complete pairing.
R When the corresponding CELL
indicator lights up, the cellular
phone is connected to the base unit.
You are ready to make cellular calls.
4 MEXIT N
Note:
R Make sure that your cellular phone is set
to connect to this product automatically.
Refer to your cellular phone’s operating
instructions.
R Make sure you cancel your cellular
phone’s current pairing if you want to
pair it to the other line (page 17).
R The default setting for the alert feature is
“On ”, so when you pair your cellular
phone to the base unit, this feature may
be activated (page 59). (This depends
on the version and type of cellular phone
you are using.)
Unpairing a cellular phone
You can cancel the pairing of a cellular phone

the base unit ringer volume (page 47).
R When you change to  “All ” from other
setting, the base unit ringer volume also
returns to the lowest level even if the ringer
volume was changed.
R The units selected with this setting have the
alert feature (page 59) applied to them.
Ring as cell mode
Once this feature is turned on, the handset
and base unit ring using the same ringer tone
as your cellular phone.
The following settings are available:
– “Off ”: Turn this feature off to use the
ringer tones of the handset and base unit.
Caller information is announced depending
on the Talking Caller ID setting (page 44).
– “On (with Talking CID) ” (default):
The handset and base unit use your cellular
phone’s ringer tone. Caller information is
announced even if the Talking Caller ID is
turned off.
– “On (without Talking CID) ”: The
handset and base unit use your cellular
phone’s ringer tone. Caller information is
not announced even if the Talking Caller ID
is turned on.
Important:
R To use this feature, your cellular phone
must support Bluetooth in-band ringtone.
Refer to your cellular phone’s operating
instructions.

Bluetooth devices are disconnected from the
base unit. This feature allows the base unit to
try to reconnect the Bluetooth devices at
regular intervals when it returns within base
unit range. You can set the interval. The
default setting is “1 min ”.
Important:
R When 3 Bluetooth devices (2 cellular
phones and 1 headset) are paired to the
base unit, only 2 Bluetooth devices can be
used with the unit at the same time, and the
base unit loses its connection from other
Bluetooth devices. To automatically resume
the connection to Bluetooth devices, leave
the auto connection on.

usage, please check the specifications of
your cellular phone for more details.

Connecting/disconnecting the
cellular phone manually
If you will not be using the paired cellular
phone’s link to cell feature temporarily (for
example, you do not want the unit to ring
when your cellular line receives a call), you
can disconnect your cellular phone from the
base unit. If you want to use it again,
reconnect the cellular phone to the base unit.
Note:
R After you disconnect a paired cellular
phone from the base unit manually, it will
automatically be connected to the base unit
in 30 minutes. If you do not use the link to
cell feature anymore, unpair the cellular
phone (page 18).
RA disconnected cellular phone is not
unpaired from the base unit, so pairing it to
the base unit again is unnecessary.
