Setting Up the CellLink??? Bluetooth??? Connection

The new D3280 with CellLink technology can connect with mobile phones that support the Bluetooth V2.0 handsfree profile.

Visit Uniden.com or contact customer service for a detailed list of tested mobile phones.

???If you are not certain of the profiles supported by your Bluetooth phone or if you have difficulty pairing your phone to the D3280, 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 D3280 handset to make and receive calls on your cellular phone number, put cellular calls on hold, and transfer calls to other handsets. See page 10 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 phone

Pairing ???introduces??? two Bluetooth devices and gives them permission to connect to each other. In most cases, once you pair a phone to the D3280, 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 D3280 handset.

1.Press Menu/Select to display the handset???s main menu.

2.Select the Bluetooth menu, then select the Add Cell phone submenu. The base goes into pairing mode when the handset displays Search & Select from Cellular D3280 PIN: 0000.

3.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.)

4.Your phone should discover a device called D3280 or Handsfree device. When your phone asks if you want to pair with this device, answer yes.

5.If your phone prompts you for a PIN code or password to pair with the D3280, enter 0000 (four zeroes).

6.When your phone accepts the Bluetooth connection, the D3280 sounds a confirmation tone. The Bluetooth device number icon on the base and the handset display light up.

???Most cell phones automatically transfer the audio to a Bluetooth device as soon as it pairs; if yours does not, look in your cell phone???s Bluetooth setup for a ???transfer audio??? or ???send audio to device??? option.

To test the connection

1. Pick up the handset from the cradle.

 - English

2.Dial the number you want to call, then press Cell on the handset. You 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 End to hang up.)

???The D3280 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 D3280 can automatically reconnect the next time your phone becomes available.

Using the D3280 with four Bluetooth phones

???The D3280 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

D3280 to four Bluetooth phones, when you press Cell on the handset, the D3280 asks which phone you want to connect to.

???If you are using the D3280 to talk on one Bluetooth phone, the D3280 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 8).

???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.)
