How to pair a cellular phone using the 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.
