6If you are not certain of the profiles supported by your Bluetooth phone or if you have difficulty pairing your phone to the DECT3181, see the manual that came with your phone.With the CellLink feature, you can essentially treat your cellular phone as a second line. You can use the DECT3181 handset to make and receive calls on your cellular phone number, put cellular calls on hold, and transfer calls to other handsets. See page 18 for more information.Bluetooth wireless devices have a maximum range of about 10 feet (3 m); the actual range will vary depending on local conditions (obstacles, battery power, interference, etc.).Pair your Bluetooth phonePairing “introduces” two Bluetooth devices and gives them permission to connect to each other. In most cases, once you pair a phone to the DECT3181, the two devices connect automatically whenever they detect each other. (If you have to manually reconnect each time, check the Bluetooth settings on your cellular phone.) You can pair your Bluetooth devices through the DECT3181 handset.Press MEnu/sELEcT to display the handset’s main menu.Select the Bluetooth menu, then select the Add Cellular submenu. The LED on the base begins to flash and the base goes into pairing mode when the handset displays Use Cellular to Pair (PIN 0000).On your Bluetooth phone, start a search for other Bluetooth devices. (This process may take several seconds and it will be different for each mobile phone. See your phone owner’s manual for detailed instructions.)Your phone should discover a device called DECT3181 or Handsfree device. When your phone asks if you want to pair with this device, answer yes.If your phone prompts you for a PIN code or password to pair with the DECT3181, enter 0000 (four zeroes).When your phone accepts the Bluetooth connection, the DECT3181 sounds a confirmation tone. The Bluetooth LED on the base and the Bluetooth status icon on the handset display, remain lit.1.2.3.4.5.6.

7Most cellular phones automatically transfer the audio to a Bluetooth device as soon as it pairs; if yours does not, look in your cellular phone’s Bluetooth setup for a “transfer audio” or “send audio to device” option.To test the conneconPick up the handset from the cradle.Dial the number you want to call, then press cELLLink on the handset. You may not hear a dial tone or ringing, but the handset display says Talk. Make sure the call connects and you can hear clearly. (When you’re finished, press End to hang up.)The DECT3181 remembers the pairing information for your cellular; if it loses connection with your phone for any reason (e.g., the cellular phone travels out of range, runs out of charge, etc.), the DECT3181 can automatically reconnect the next time your phone becomes available. Using the DECT3181 with four Bluetooth phonesThe DECT3181 can save the pairing information for four different Bluetooth phones, but it can only use one cellular line at any given time. For example, if you pair the DECT3181 to four Bluetooth phones, when you press cELLLink on the handset, the DECT3181 asks which phone you want to connect to. If you are using the DECT3181 to talk on one Bluetooth phone, the DECT3181 will not ring if a call comes in on another phone.You can set a different ring tone for each paired cellular phone (see page 16).To pair another Bluetooth phone, just repeat the pairing procedure with the new phone. (If the paired phones interfere when you’re pairing the new one, just turn off Bluetooth on any paired phones until you finish pairing the the new one.)1.2.3.

8Seng Up MULTIRANGETM ChargersIf the model number ends in an R, at least one of the chargers included with your phone is a MULTIRANGE charger.The MULTIRANGETM charger extends the range of your base in all directions, including up and down. Each handset will automatically connect to the charger or the base, depending on which signal is stronger. If your phone includes a MULTIRANGE charger, you will have a separate manual discussing the charger in detail, including how it works, how to reset it, etc.Your base supports a total of 2 DRX312 MULTIRANGE chargers, including any that were supplied with your phone.Any MULTIRANGE charger included with your phone is ready to use out of the box. Just pick the best location and plug it in.To place a MULTIRANGE chargerMake sure you have a strong signal from the base (at least 3 bars in the handset display).Put the charger at least 35 feet away from the base or any other MULTIRANGE charger. (If you put the charger on a different floor from the base, don't forget to allow 35 feet vertically, also.)For more information, see the DRX312 user guide.

35Noise or stac on the lineInterference is the most common cause of noise or static on a cordless phone. Here are some common sources of interference:electrical appliances, especially microwave ovenscomputer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL modemsradio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless controllers, or wireless headphones or speakersfluorescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems, intercom systems, or broadband Internet serviceIf static is on 1 handset or in 1 location:If static is on all handsets or in all locations:Check nearby for one of the common interference sources.Try moving the handset away from a suspected source, or try moving the suspected source so it’s not between the handset and the base.There is always more noise at the edges of the base’s range. If an Out of Range message displays, try moving closer to the base.---Check near the base for the source of interference.Try moving the base away from a suspected source, or turn off the source if possible.If the base has an adjustable antenna, try raising the antenna so it stands straight up.If you have any service that uses the phone line, you might need a filter (see below).----Installing a line lter or DSL lterSometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line can interfere with phones. One of these services−DSL−often causes static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.

36Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?If you have a hearing aid equipped with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the interaction between the hearing aid and digital cordless phones can cause noise in the handset. If you have a T-coil hearing aid and you have problems with noise on the line, try turning on T-coil mode. Open the menu. Select Handset Setup, then select T-coil. Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset’s talk time; make sure to watch the battery status and keep the battery charged.Liquid damageMoisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone. If the exterior housing of the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, wipe off the liquid, and use as normal. If moisture or liquid is inside the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery compartment or vent openings on the base), follow these steps:Handset BaseRemove the battery cover and disconnect the battery.Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery disconnected and the cover off for ventilation.After the handset dries, reconnect the battery and replace the cover. Recharge the battery fully before using.---Disconnect the AC adapter to cut off the power.Disconnect the telephone cord.Let dry for at least 3 days before reconnecting.---CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process. This will cause permanent damage to the handset, base, and the microwave oven.Changing from Tone to Pulse DialingYour phone communicates with the land line telephone network two ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing. Most telephone companies use tone --

37dialing. If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your phone’s dial mode.From a handset, open the menu and select Global Setup.Select Dial Mode, then select Pulse. The phone sounds a confirmation tone.If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call (if you’re using an automated response system, for example), press * to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.Reseng and Registering HandsetsIf you are having trouble with a cordless handset or if you want to replace one, you need to clear the registration information from the base and the handset:Do you have the base the handset is registered to?Yes NoPress and hold End and # until the System Reset menu appears (about 5 seconds).Select Deregister HS.
