INSTALLING YOUR PHONE
1) Unpack all handsets, battery packs, and battery
covers. If any battery cover is already on the handset,
press in on the notch and slide the cover down and
off.
2) Line up the red and black wires on the battery pack
with the label inside the handset.
3) Push the connector in until it clicks into place; tug gently on the wires
to make sure the battery pack is securely connected.
4) Place the cover over the battery compartment and slide it up into
place.
5) Connect the base AC adaptor to the ADAPTER jack
on the rear of the base.
6) If you have accessory handsets, connect a charger
AC adaptor to each charger's DC IN 9V jack and set
the plug into the notch as shown.
7) Plug the other end of each adaptor into a standard 240V AC power
outlet.
8) Place a handset in the base and any accessory handset(s) in the
charger(s) with the display(s) facing forward. The CHARGE light on the
handset(s) should turn on.
Charge the Battery
If... Try...
the CHARGE light
does not turn on
- reseating the handset
- checking the AC adaptor connection
- seeing if the outlet is controlled by a wall switch
Charge all handsets completely (about 15-20 hours) before using
them.

7
Test the Connection
1) Pick up the handset from the cradle and press
HOME/FLASH. You
should hear a dial tone, and the display should say Talk .
If... Try...
you don’t hear a dial
tone or the display
says Check Tel Line
checking the connection between the
base and the phone jack.
2) Make a quick test call. (Press
END/CLEAR to hang up.)
If... Try...
there’s a lot of
noise or static
see page 33 for tips on avoiding
interference.
3) Test any accessory handsets the same way. If you can't get a dial
tone or the handset display says Unavailable , try moving the handset
closer to the base or resetting it (see page 36). Charge all handsets
completely (about 15-20 hours) before using them.
Connect the Telephone Cord
Use the telephone cord to connect the TEL LINE jack to a standard
telephone wall jack.
Installing the Belt Clip
Line up the holes on each side of the handset. To attach the belt clip, insert
into the holes on each side of the handset. Press down until it clicks. To
remove the belt clips, pull either side of the belt clip to release the tabs
from the holes.

8
Mounting the base unit on a wall
You can mount your base directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider
the following:
• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting
location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.
• Mount your phone within distance of a working phone jack.
• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the
base and handset.
• Use screws with anchoring devices suitable for the wall material where
the base unit will be placed.
1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall (with their appropriate
anchoring device), 85mm apart. Allow about 3mm between the wall
and screwheads for mounting the phone.
2) Plug the AC adaptor into the ADAPTER jack on the telephone and
then into a Standard AC wall outlet.
3) Plug the telephone cord into the TEL LINE jack on the telephone and
then into the telephone socket on the wall.
4) Align the mounting slots on the
base with the mounting posts on the
wall.
5) Then push in and down until the
phone is firmly seated.
This phone also can be mounted on
any standard telephone wall plate (for
Australia).

The XDECT 8315 with MobileLink technology can connect with mobile
phones that support the Bluetooth V2.1 handsfree profile.
Visit our website on the front cover 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 XDECT 8315, see the
manual that came with your phone.
• With the MobileLink feature, you can essentially treat your mobile phone
as a second line. You can use the XDECT 8315 handset to make and
receive calls on your mobile phone number, put mobile phone calls
on hold, and transfer calls to other handsets. See page 20 for more
information.
• Bluetooth wireless devices have a maximum range of about 3m; the
actual range will vary depending on local conditions (obstacles, battery
power, interference, etc.).
Pair your Bluetooth phone
Pairing “introduces” four Bluetooth devices and gives them permission to
connect to each other. In most cases, once you pair a phone to the XDECT
8315, these devices connect automatically whenever they detect each
other. (If you have to manually reconnect each time, check the Bluetooth
settings on your mobile phone.)
You can pair your Bluetooth devices through the XDECT 8315 handset.
1) Press MENU/SELECT to display the handset’s main menu.
2) Select the
Bluetooth Setup menu, then select the Add Mobile phone
submenu. The base goes into pairing mode when the handset displays
Search & select from Mobile XDECT 8315 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
XDECT 8315 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
XDECT 8315, enter 0000 (four zeroes).
6) When your phone accepts the Bluetooth connection, the XDECT 8315
sounds a confirmation tone. The Bluetooth device number LED on the
base and device number icon on the handset display light up.
SETTING UP THE MOBILELINK BLUETOOTH™ CONNECTION

10
1) Pick up the handset from the cradle.
2) Dial the number you want to call, then press MOBILE on the handset.
You may not hear a dial tone or ringing, but the handset display shows
Talk.
3) Make sure the call connects and you can hear clearly. (When you’re
finished, press END/CLEAR to hang up.)
• The XDECT 8315 remembers the pairing information for your mobile
phone; if it loses connection with your phone for any reason (e.g., the
mobile phone travels out of range, runs out of charge, etc.), the XDECT
8315 can automatically reconnect the next time your phone becomes
available.
To Test the Connection
#Most mobile phones automatically transfer the audio to a
Bluetooth device as soon as it pairs; if yours does not, look in your
mobile phone’s Bluetooth setup for a “transfer audio” or “send
audio to device” option.
Using the XDECT 8315 with four Bluetooth phones
• The XDECT 8315 can save the pairing information for four different
Bluetooth phones, but it can only use one mobile line at any given time.
For example, if you pair the XDECT 8315 to four Bluetooth phones,
when you press MOBILE on the handset, the XDECT 8315 asks which
phone you want to connect to.
• If you are using the XDECT 8315 to talk on one Bluetooth phone, the
XDECT 8315 will not ring if a call comes in on another phone.
• You can set a different ring tone for each paired mobile phone (see
page 16).
• 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 new one.)
