Below, you will find some useful guides and programs to assist you in upgrading the software on your Cell2Tel Gateway.
NOTE: Currently there is no software update available. Please check back periodically. DFU Wizard Software Update Program For Windows XP / Vista Only CAUTION:

Bluetooth is a simple wireless standard that can often be used to replace cables. Most cell phones now come with Bluetooth built in. Almost any cell phone with built in Bluetooth can communicate with any of the Cell2Tel™ products wirelessly. This is a good thing because it eliminates the need to purchase any sort of extra cables.
2.4GHz signals and WiFi signals may interfere with Bluetooth connections.
To minimize ambient interference 2.4 GHz devices (cordless phones, etc.) should be as far away as is practically possible from both from the Cell2Tel™ and your cell phone. Some cordless phones do not have a problem. So you can try it first with them close to each other and just move them farther away until there are no issues.
Yes, it is possible to use your existing home wiring. However you must physically disconnect you home wiring from your teleophone service providers Network Interface Device (NID) also called 'demarc'. Please refer to this Word Document for details regarding the required steps to follow to complete properly.
Yes, you can access your Voicemail by going offhook, then pressing the '1' then '#' keys on a telephone that is connected to Cell2Tel™. This connects you to your Voicemail service, similar to pressing and holding the '1' key on your cell phone.
If this does not work automatically, you can still access your Voicemail from any telephone in the house. You just need to store your Voicemail number into Cell2Tel™.
You can store one Voicemail number for each cell phone that is paired to Cell2Tel™.

Each blue button on the top of the Cell2Tel™ is a cell phone line number. The dots indicate which is line 1 or line 2.
When you select a line and hear dialtone, you can proceed with your call. If you hear a series of rapid tones, it means that there is no cell phone currently connected to that line. Try another line that has a cell phone paired and connected to it.
Yes, you can use cordless phones with Cell2Tel™. Some 2.4GHz cordless phones may cause interference with the Bluetooth signal. Cell2Tel™ is equipped with the ability to avoid the same channels used by 2.4GHz phones to minimize any interference.
Yes, you can pair and connect up to 2 bluetooth enabled cellphones to Cell2Tel™. When any of the connected cell phones ring, all the phones in your house will ring.
When a cell phone is ringing, a blue light will flash to show you which line is ringing. You can answer any of the lines from any extension set.
An extension set is any regular corded or cordless telephone that is connected to the Cell2Tel™, either directly or through the house wiring. See "How to set up Cell2Tel™" for details.

If you cannot find it, try looking for your phone model on the website of your service provider, they will usually give a list of features such as Bluetooth capability.
This means you have plugged the Cell2Tel™ into an active land line. Unplug the Cell2Tel™ from all the active telephone jacks. You must use wires that are not used by your local telephone company.
The recommended way to use Cell2Tel™ is to plug a corded or cordless telephone directly into the Cell2Tel™ and not use the house wiring at all. A multi handset cordless phone is ideal for use with Cell2Tel™.
If you want to use the house wiring, make sure that you disconnect any active landlines from the wiring.
Line 1 is the prime line. If you have 2 cell phones connected, and go offhook on an extension set, you will be using the cell phone that is paired with Line 1 (indicated by the single dot on the top of the Cell2Tel™.
Each blue button on the top of the Cell2Tel™ is a cell phone line number. The dots indicate which is line 1 or line 2.
If you do not pair a cell phone to both lines, Cell2Tel™ will always use the lowest line number for prime line. For example, if you only have a cell phone paired to line 2, then go off hook on an extension set, line 2 will be the prime line. If you have a cell phone paired to line 1 and line 2 and go off hook on an extension set, line 1 will be the prime line.
It is a good idea to pair the cell phone you will use the most to line 1
