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 pwr at base.
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. Move closer to the telephone base, then press
HOME 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.
Battery backup mode
Battery backup mode allows your telephone system to function
in the event of a power outage. The telephone system uses
stored power from the handset's battery to operate.
To activate the mode
After the power goes out, if there is already a handset with
enough charge placed in the telephone base, the telephone
system enters battery backup mode automatically. That handset
screen shows Powering base... Don't pick up. All other handset
screens show Battery backup mode.

at base and Put HS on base to power base, alternately. Place
any handset with enough charge in the telephone base. Its
screen shows Powering base... Don't pick up. All other handset
screens show Battery backup mode.
Operation
During battery backup mode, the telephone base, answering
system and all Bluetooth related features will be disabled. The
operating time is subject to the battery level of the handset
placed in the telephone base and the actual usage. For optimal
performance, we recommend that you do not use the handset
placed in the telephone base when this mode is on.
Using other system handsets (Recommended):
Operate the handsets the same way as usual, except the
answering system and all Bluetooth related features which will
be disabled.
Using the handset placed in the telephone base:
To maximize the operating time, you are not advised to use this
handset. If you do have to use it, make sure you do not lift it
from the telephone base. All operations should be done with
the handset placed in the telephone base. In this case, calls can
only be made and received using the speakerphone.
Introducing Bluetooth
Your new telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology
has the following features:
• Pair up to 2 Bluetooth enabled devices (cell phones or
headsets) with the telephone base.
• Connect a maximum of 2 Bluetooth enabled devices to
make and receive cell calls. Both devices can be active on a
call at a time.
• Connect a Bluetooth enabled headset for making and
receiving home calls.
• Conference any combination of cell and home call.
• Make and receive calls using your cell phone service with
your telephone base or system handsets.
• Download phonebook entries from your cell phone.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Your telephone is compatible with Bluetooth version 2.0 or
above devices.
• After plugging in the telephone base, wait at least 20
seconds before connecting a Bluetooth device. The screen
shows Bluetooth system busy if you try to connect too soon.
• Refer to the user's manual of your Bluetooth enabled cell
phone or headset for more information about how that
device uses Bluetooth connectivity.
• Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range
(a maximum of approximately 15 feet) from the telephone
base. Keep connected cell phones and headsets within this
range.
• If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the
telephone cannot improve the reception. However, if there
is a location in your house with better reception, you can
leave your cell phone at that location while you use the
telephone cell line. For optimal performance, the cell phone
must be within 15 feet of the telephone base.
• If you experience poor sound quality, it may be caused by
the distance between your cell phone and the telephone
base. To improve the performance, place your cell phone
closer to the telephone base (within 15 feet) and make sure
that there are no physical obstacles such as large furniture or
thick wall in between.
IS8151
• Charge your cell phone while it is connected to the
telephone base. Your cell phone's battery discharges faster
while it is connected to the telephone base via Bluetooth
wireless technology.
• Monitor your cell phone's usage because minutes may be
deducted from your cellular plan for the duration of all cell
calls, depending on the terms of your plan.
