connect it with the telephone base. All

answer on the cell phone line.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates
within a short range (15 feet). When
you pair a Bluetooth cell phone to the
telephone base, move closer to the
telephone base to maintain sufficient
signal strength.
• For optimal performance, place your cell
phone next to the telephone base while
using the cell line.
• To avoid interference from other electronic
devices, place your telephone base
far away from devices such as baby
