Installation options

Your telephone base is ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your telephone on a wall, use the provided wall bracket to connect with a standard dual-stud telephone wall-mounting plate. If you do not have this mounting plate, you can purchase one from many hardware or consumer electronics retailers. You may need a professional to install the mounting plate.
Tabletop to wall-mount installation
1. If you are using a DSL filter, plug the line cord into the filter now. Plug the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) into the wall jack. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. 2. Position the telephone base as shown below. Insert the extended tabs (marked B) of the wall bracket into the slots on the back of the telephone base (marked B). Push the telephone base down until it clicks securely in place. 3. Route the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) and power cord through the wall bracket hole and plug them into the bottom of the base. 4. Align the holes on the bracket with the standard wall plate and slide the bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the telephone line cord and power adapter cord neatly with a twist tie.
Wall-mount to tabletop installation
1. If the telephone line cord and power adapter cord are bundled, untie them first. 2. Slide the black wall bracket up and remove it from the wall plate. Unplug the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) from the wall. Unplug the power adapter from the power outlet. 3. Slide the telephone base up and remove it from the wall bracket. 4.

Glossary of terms

Below are some terms used in this users manual to help you become familiar with using your Bluetooth enabled devices and your new DS6321/6322 telephone system. Active devices - a maximum of two paired devices (two cell phones, or one cell phone and one headset) on the active devices list can be connected to the telephone base, but only one cell phone or headset can be on a call at a time. Bluetooth cell phone - refers to a Bluetooth enabled cellular telephone. Cell line - the telephone line associated with your cell phone service. On your DS6321/6322 handset, press /CELL to use the cell line. Connected - a Bluetooth enabled device (cell phone or headset) can only be used when it is connected to the telephone base. When a Bluetooth enabled device is connected to the telephone base and active on the active devices list, it will be ready for use. Disconnected - a diagonal line appears across devices 1 and/or 2 when the corresponding Bluetooth enabled device is disconnected from the telephone base. Discoverable mode - before a Bluetooth enabled device can be paired, it must be set to this mode. When pairing your cell phone, the telephone base will be set to this mode. When pairing a headset, the headset must be set to this mode. Depending on the manufacturer, this mode is sometimes referred to as Find Me or Visibility. Home line - your conventional telephone land line. On your DS6321/6322 handset, press /HOME/FLASH to use the home line. Paired devices - once Bluetooth enabled devices have been paired with the telephone base, they will appear on the paired devices list. A maximum of four devices can be paired with the telephone base, but only two can be on the active devices list. Pairing - this refers to the process of Bluetooth enabled devices registering device information with each other. The telephone base must be paired with a Bluetooth enabled cell phone or headset before the Bluetooth device can be used. Depending on the manufacturer, this is also referred to as Bonding. PIN - by default, the PIN is 0000 for the telephone base and for most Bluetooth devices. PIN information must be exchanged between Bluetooth devices before they can be used. This is also known as a Passkey or Passcode.

Answering system operation
Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your service providers voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephones built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently. If and New voicemail display on the handsets, your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 65). Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone service provider. You can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. If you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message by following the instructions below. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.

Remote access

A two-digit security code is required to access the answering system remotely from any touch tone telephone. The preset code is 19. See Remote access code on page 38 to change it. 1. Dial your telephone number from any touch tone telephone. 2. When the system plays your announcement, enter the two-digit security code. 3. You can also enter one of the following remote commands.
Command **0 Play all messages. Play only new messages. Delete the current message (during playback). Delete all old messages. Repeat the current message (during playback). Stop. Hear a list of remote commands. Skip to the next message (during playback). Record a new announcement. End the call. Turn the answering system on or off. Function
4. Hang up or press 8 to end the call.
If you do not press any keys after you enter the remote access code, all new messages play. If there are no new messages, all old messages play. Once the new messages have played, the telephone announces the help menu options. If you do not press any key within 20 seconds, the remote access call automatically disconnects. When the answering system is turned off, the telephone answers after 10 rings, and announces, Please enter your remote access code. When the memory is full, the answering system answers incoming calls after 10 rings and announces, Memory is full. Enter the remote access code.
