NOTES

Use only the adapters provided.

Even if you do not subscribe to any conventional

telephone service, you can pair a Bluetooth

enabled cell phone to your telephone base (see

Bluetooth), and use the cell line alone without

plugging in a telephone line cord.

The adapters are intended for a vertical or ﬂoor

mount position. The prongs are not designed to

hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling,

under-the-table, or cabinet outlet.

TIP

If you subscribe to digital subscriber line (DSL)

high-speed Internet service through your

telephone line, make sure you install a DSL

filter (not included) between the telephone line

cord and telephone wall jack. Contact your DSL

service provider for more information.

telephone will prompt you to set the date and time.

If you choose to set up the date and time at a

later stage, you can do it manually.

described above are properly done.

It may be a wiring problem. If you have

changed your telephone service to digital

service from a cable company or a VoIP

service provider, the telephone line may

need to be rewired to allow all existing

telephone jacks to work. Contact your cable/

VoIP service provider for more information.

Operating range

This cordless telephone operates with the

maximum power allowed by the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC). Even

so, this handset and telephone base can

communicate over only a certain distance

- which can vary with the locations of the

telephone base and handset, the weather, and

the layout of your home or ofﬁce.

When the handset is out of range, the handset

displays Out of range OR no power at base

and Put HS on base to power base alternately.

If there is a call while the handset is out of

range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call

may not connect well when you press

/HOME, /CELL 1, or /CELL 2. Move

closer to the telephone base, and then press

/HOME, /CELL 1, or /CELL 2 to answer

the call. If the handset moves out of range

during a telephone conversation, there may be

interference. To improve reception, move closer

to the telephone base.
