• If your cell phone has poor reception
in your home, the DS6771 cannot
improve the reception. However, if
there is a location in your house with
better reception, you can leave your
cell phone at that location while using
the DS6771 cell line.
• If you experience poor sound quality,
place your cell phone closer to the
DS6771 to ensure strong Bluetooth
signal strength. Make sure there are
no physical obstacles between the
DS6771 and the cell phone, such as
large furniture or thick walls.
• Charge your cell phone while it
is connected to the telephone
base. Your cell phone's battery will
discharge faster while it is connected
to the telephone base via Bluetooth
wireless technology.
• Monitor your cell phone's usage
because minutes are deducted from
your cellular plan for the duration of
all cell calls.
