  • Page 4: Setting Up The Celllink™ Bluetooth™ Connection

    Attaching Optional Wall Mount Bracket You can order a wall-mount bracket from the Uniden website. Follow the instructions that come with the bracket. Setting Up the CellLink™ Bluetooth™ Connection The new D1779-BT with CellLink technology can connect with mobile phones that support the Bluetooth V2.1 handsfree profile. • If you are not certain of the profiles supported by your Bluetooth phone or if you have difficulty pairing your phone to the D1779-BT, 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 D1779-BT handset to make and receive calls on your cellular phone number, put cellular calls on hold, and transfer calls to other handsets. See page 5 for more information. • Bluetooth wireless devices have a maximum range of about 33 feet (10 m); the actual range will vary depending on local conditions (obstacles, battery power, interference, etc.). Pair your Bluetooth phone Pairing “introduces” the Bluetooth device and D1779-BT and gives them permission to connect to each other. In most cases, once you pair a phone to the D1779-BT, these 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 D1779-BT handset. 1. Press to display the handset’s main menu.
  • Page 5 2. Dial the number you want to call, then press on the handset. You CEll may not hear a dial tone or ringing, but the handset display says Talk. 3. Make sure the call connects and you can hear clearly. (When you’re finished, press to hang up.) END/ClEaR • The D1779-BT remembers the pairing information for your cellular; if it loses connection with your phone for any reason (e.g., the cell phone travels out of range, runs out of charge, etc.), the D1779-BT can automatically reconnect the next time your phone becomes available. Using the D1779-BT with two Bluetooth phones • The D1779-BT can save the pairing information for two different Bluetooth phones, but it can only use one cellular line at any given time. For example, if you pair the D1779-BT to two Bluetooth phones, when CEll you press on the handset, the D1779-BT asks which phone you want to connect to. • If you are using the D1779-BT to talk on one Bluetooth phone, the D1779-BT will not ring if a call comes in on another phone. • You can set a different ring tone for each paired cell phone (see page 10). • To pair another Bluetooth phone, just repeat the pairing procedure with the new phone. (If the paired phone interferes when you’re pairing the new one, just turn off Bluetooth on the paired phone until you finish pairing the new one.)
