Precautions for users of implanted
cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital
cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC
(WTR), an independent research entity,
led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the
interference between portable wireless
telephones and implanted cardiac
pacemakers. Supported by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration, WTR
recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
Should keep wireless telephones at least
six inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones
directly over the pacemaker, such as in a
breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the
ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk
to bystanders with pacemakers from other
persons using wireless telephones.
About cordless telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a
cordless telephone convenient create
some limitations. Telephone calls are
transmitted between the telephone
base and the cordless handset by radio
waves, so there is a possibility that
the cordless telephone conversations
could be intercepted by radio receiving
equipment within range of the
cordless handset. For this reason, you
should not think of cordless telephone
conversations as being as private as
those on corded telephones.
Electrical power: The telephone base
of this cordless telephone must be
connected to a working electrical outlet.
The electrical outlet should not be
controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot
be made from the cordless handset
if the telephone base is unplugged,
switched off or if the electrical power is
interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless
telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause interference to televisions
and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, do not place the telephone
base of the cordless telephone near or
on top of a TV or VCR. If interference
is experienced, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR often reduces or eliminates the
interference.
Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in
handling batteries in order not to create
a short circuit with conducting material
such as rings, bracelets and keys. The
battery or conductor may overheat and
cause harm. Observe proper polarity
between the battery and the battery
charger.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
batteries: Dispose of these batteries in
a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture
the battery. Like other batteries of this
type, if burned or punctured, they could
release caustic material which could
cause injury.

Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the
maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even
so, this handset and telephone base can
communicate over only a certain distance
- which can vary with the locations of the
telephone base and handset, the weather,
and the layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the

Bluetooth
Your new DS6161 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 15 feet) from the
telephone base. Keep connected cell
phones within this range. For optimal
performance, place your cell phone
next to the telephone base while using
the DS6161 cell line.
If your cell phone has poor reception in
your home, the DS6161 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 DS6161
cell line.
If you experience poor sound quality,
place your cell phone closer to the
DS6161 to ensure strong Bluetooth
signal strength. Make sure there are no
physical obstacles between the DS6161
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.
Refer to Bluetooth setup to learn how to set up
and manage your Bluetooth enabled devices.
Refer to Telephone operation on how to operate
your Bluetooth devices with your new DS6161
telephone system with Bluetooth wireless
technology. Refer to Frequently asked questions
if you experience difficulty using the telephone
system.

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.
Bluetooth setup
Make sure your cell phone has a good cell
reception near the telephone base.
To use a Bluetooth enabled cell phone
with your DS6161, you must first pair and
connect it with the telephone base. All
DS6161 handsets can be used to make or
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
monitors, wireless routers, microwaves and
computers.
