Battery charging
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status
(see the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the telephone base or charger
to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone base
or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 11 hours of continuous
charging. See the table on page 78 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank or displays Put in charger, you need to charge the handset
without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use
for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset displays Low battery along
with a ashing icon. If you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset plays short
beeps to alert you.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.

Getting started
Are you a new cable or VoIP subscriber?
If your answer is yes, the existing telephone jacks in your home may no longer work.
Your cable/VoIP service provider uses a different connection, separate from your old
traditional telephone service, to connect the modem/router/terminal adapter installed in
your home.
To allow all existing telephone jacks to work, contact your telephone service provider
for solutions, such as rewiring services (fees may apply).
If your answer is no, your existing telephone jacks will continue to work as normal.
Did you subscribe to voicemail service from your telephone
service provider?
Your telephone has a built-in answering system and supports voicemail feature offered
by your telephone service provider (subscription is required, and fees may apply).
Refer to Answering system and voicemail on page 65 for more information.
To use the built-in answering system:
You may see this online Complete user’s manual on how to record your outgoing
announcement, retrieve messages and other related operations.
To use the voicemail:
To retrieve your voicemail messages, you typically dial an access number provided
by your telephone service provider, and then enter a security code. Contact your
telephone service provider for instructions on how to congure the voicemail settings
and listen to messages.

Bluetooth
Introducing Bluetooth
Your new DS6751 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has the
following features:
Pair and connect up to a maximum of two cell phones with the telephone base to
make and receive cell calls. Only one cell phone can be active on a call at
a time.
Make and receive calls using your cell phone plan while utilizing the ease and
comfort of your home telephone system.
Receive directory entries from your cell phone.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Refer to the user's manual of your Bluetooth enabled cell phone for more
information about how that device uses Bluetooth connectivity.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (a maximum of
approximately 30 feet) from the telephone base. Keep connected cell phones within
this range. For optimal performance, keep your cell phone within 15 feet of the
telephone base while using the DS6751 cell line.
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the DS6751 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 you use the DS6751 cell line.
If you experience poor sound quality, your cell phone may be too far away from the
telephone base. To improve Bluetooth signal strength, place your cell phone closer
to the telephone base (within 15 feet) and make sure that there are no physical
