Link to cell feature
You 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.

Baby monitor
This feature allows you to listen in on a room
where another handset is located, allowing you to
easily monitor from different areas of the house or
place. The monitored handset (placed in a baby’s
room, for example) will automatically call the
monitoring handset, base unit, or the phone
number stored when it detects sound.
Important:
R You should perform a test run of the baby
monitor procedure to ensure that the baby
monitor feature is set correctly. For example,
test its sensitivity. Check the connection if you
are diverting the baby monitor to an outside line.
R This feature should not be used as a substitute
for a medical or caregiver’s supervision. It is the
caregiver’s responsibility to stay close enough
to handle any eventuality.
Note:
R If the unit is connected to a PBX system, you
cannot set the baby monitor.
R During the monitoring mode, battery
consumption is faster than usual. We
recommend leaving the monitored handset on
charger.
R The monitored handset never rings during the
monitoring mode. If the base unit is placed near
the monitored handset, turn off the base unit
ringer volume not to sound the ringer (page 39,
41)
Setting the baby monitor
Perform the setting operation with the handset to
be monitored (for example, the handset placed in
a baby’s room).
To monitor with a unit
The internal baby monitor feature is only available:
– between handsets
– between a handset and the base unit
Handset
Note:
R When this feature is on, another handset or the
base unit can hear the monitored handset by
making an intercom call.
To monitor from an outside line
If you store an outside monitoring number, the
monitored handset will automatically call the
stored number to allow you to monitor when it
detects sound.
This feature is only available for landline.
