Getting started  
Installation  
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not  
connected to a wall switch. For optimum range and better reception, place  
the telephone base in a central and open location.  
Depending on the environmental conditions, make sure that your Bluetooth  
wireless technology enabled cell phone is within 15 feet of where you install  
the telephone base in order to maintain a reliable connection between your  
Bluetooth wireless technology enabled cell phone, telephone base and  
cell tower.  
This product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the handset  
and/or telephone base display. Remove it before use.  
Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:  
Communication devices such as personal computers, computer routers,  
television sets, VCRs, wireless routers (wireless broadband, Wi-Fi, or  
802.11) or other cordless telephones.  
Excessive heat sources.  
Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave  
ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.  
Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.  
Excessive moisture.  
Extremely low temperature.  
Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of a washing machine or  
work bench.

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 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 74 for battery  
operating times.  
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for  
at least 10 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone  
for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset beeps and shows  
low battery and a flashing . If you are on a call in low battery mode, the  
handset beeps every minute.  
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions  
to take.

Introducing Bluetooth  
Your new DS6321/6322 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology  
has the following features:  
Pair up to four Bluetooth enabled cell phones with the telephone base.  
Connect a maximum of two cell phones to make and receive cell calls.  
Only one cell phone can be active on a call at a time.  
Connect a Bluetooth enabled headset for making and receiving home calls.  
Conference cell and home calls.  
Make and receive calls using your cell phone plan while utilizing the ease  
and comfort of your home telephone system.  
IMPoRTANT INFoRMATIoN  
After plugging in the telephone base, wait at least 20 seconds before  
connecting a Bluetooth device. The screen shows Bluetooth system busy  
if you try to connect too soon.  
Refer to the user's manual of your Bluetooth enabled cell phone or  
headset for more information about how that device uses Bluetooth  
connectivity.  
Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (about 1  
to 30 feet) from the telephone base. Keep connected cell phones and  
headset within this range.  
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the DS6321/6322  
cannot improve the reception. However, if you have a location in your  
house with better reception, you can leave your cell phone in that location  
while you use the DS6321/6322 cell line. In order for this to work, the  
telephone base must be within 30 feet of the cell phone.  
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 the Bluetooth setup section (page 14) to learn how to set up and  
manage your Bluetooth enabled device(s). Refer to the Telephone operation  
section (page 39) on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new  
DS6321/6322 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology. Refer to  
the Troubleshooting section (page 77) if you experience difficulty using the  
telephone system.

Bluetooth  
Glossary of terms  
Below are some terms used in this user’s 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.

About caller ID  
This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service  
providers. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s  
number, or the caller’s name and number from the telephone service provider  
after the first or second ring. Caller ID from the home line allows you to see  
the name, number, date and time of the incoming calls. However, caller ID  
from the cell line only shows the number of the incoming caller; date and time  
of the call is not shown. The caller ID may appear differently if the caller is  
matched to a directory entry (see Memory match on page 59).  
Information about caller ID with call waiting  
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the  
caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.  
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature.  
Contact your telephone service provider and cell phone service provider if:  
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you  
may need to combine these services).  
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.  
You do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.  
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be  
available in all areas.  
Caller ID information is available only if both you and the caller are in  
areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone service providers  
use compatible equipment.  
Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers  
may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view call  
log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must save the entry  
to the directory (see page 61).  
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this  
product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID  
with call waiting service.

Caller ID history  
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service  
provider and/or cell phone service provider, information about each caller  
appears after the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller  
information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.  
The call log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the  
phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the name has more  
than 15 characters, only the first 15 characters are shown and saved in  
the call log.  
You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory.  
Entries are in reverse chronological order.  
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new  
incoming call information.  
XX Missed call(s) shows when there are new call log entries (including  
missed and unreviewed calls).  
Call log empty shows when there are no records in the call log.  
Only one handset can review the call log at a time. If a handset tries to  
enter the call log while another handset is already in it, Not available at  
this time appears.  
If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not saved or shown in  
the call log.

Memory match  
When the incoming telephone number exactly matches a telephone  
number in your directory, the name appears on the screen will match the  
corresponding name in your directory.  
For example, when Linda Jones calls, her name will appear as linda if this is  
how you entered it into your directory.  
The number shown in the call log will be in the format sent by the telephone  
service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers ten-digit  
phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of  
the caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name will  
appear as it is delivered by the telephone service provider. For example, if the  
telephone service provider includes the area code but your directory number  
does not, the name will appear as delivered by the telephone service provider.

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 provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s 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.  
Message capacity  
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each  
message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for  
the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes.  
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.  
Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

answering system answers before your voicemail answers (page 37).  
To determine how many rings activate your voicemail,  
contact your telephone service provider.  
If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting  
the fax machine. It that solves the problem, consult your fax machine  
documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.

Appendix  
Troubleshooting  
The messages on the answering system are incomplete.  
If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the answering  
system disconnects the call after four minutes.  
If the memory on the answering system becomes full during a message, the  
answering system stops recording and disconnects the call.  
If the caller’s voice is very soft, the answering system may stop recording and  
disconnect the call.  
The answering system does not respond to remote commands.  
Make sure your remote access code is correct (page 38).  
Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When dialing a number,  
there should be tones. If there are clicks, then it is not a touch-tone telephone and  
cannot activate the answering system.  
The answering system may not detect the remote access code when your  
announcement is playing. Wait until the announcement is over before entering  
the code.  
There may be interference on the telephone line you are using. Press the dial pad  
keys firmly when dialing.  
Common cure for electronic equipment.  
If the telephone is not responding normally, put the cordless handset in the  
telephone base. If it does not respond, try the following (in the order listed):  
Disconnect the power to the telephone base.  
Disconnect the battery on the cordless handset.  
Wait a few minutes before connecting power to the telephone base.  
Reinstall the battery and place the cordless handset in the telephone base.  
Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to  
one minute for this to take place.

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.  
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 handset displays out of range oR No power at base.  
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might  
not connect well when you press  
/hoMe/FlASh. Move closer to the telephone base, then  
press /hoMe/FlASh to answer the call.  
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.  
To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.  
Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.  
Avoid rough treatment  
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if  
you ever need to ship it.  
Avoid water  
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or  
handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.  
electrical storms  
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your  
own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.  
Cleaning your telephone  
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean  
it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or mild soap. Do not use excess water or  
cleaning solvents of any kind.  
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or  
standing in the water. If the telephone base should fall into the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT  
UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL.  
Then remove the telephone by the unplugged cords.

Appendix  
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.  
The RBRC® seal  
The RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that VTech Communications, Inc. is  
voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of  
their useful lives, when taken out of service within the United States and Canada.  
The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-metal hydride  
batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which may be illegal in your area.  
VTech’s participation in RBRC® makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local retailers  
participating in the RBRC® program or at authorized VTech product service centers. Please call  
1-800-8-BATTeRYTM for information on Ni-MH battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions  
in your area. VTech’s involvement in this program is part of its commitment to protecting our  
environment and conserving natural resources.
