							Link to cell feature
Y ou 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
