UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the Dock-N-Talk™ universal cell phone docking station and charger. The Dock-N-Talk™ enables the user to make and receive cell phone calls using normal home or office corded or cordless telephones. The DockN-Talk™ uses patent pending technology to provide true land line (wireline) type service from a wireless cell phone service.

UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE INSTALLATION Make the basic connections to Dock-N-Talk™ as shown below. A/C Power Adapter Telephone Line Pair Switch Modular Connectors for Extension Sets or House Wiring Jacks 1. Connect the supplied A/C power adapter cord into the Dock-N-Talk™ round adapter plug shown above. Then connect the large transformer end into a normal 120-volt power outlet. 2. Connect one of the supplied telephone line cords to one of the two modular connectors.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE Line Pair Switch Once the power adapter is connected, the LED will illuminate indicating the DockN-Talk™ is connected to power. In the back of the unit on the right, there is a slide switch for selecting a Dock-N-Talk™ connection to either Line Pair 1 (“LP1”) or Line Pair 2 (“LP2”). 1. If only a local extension telephone set is to be connected, set this switch to LP1. Verify that the LED is now flashing green.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE If the LED is solid red, LP1 is already in use by wireline telephone service. Immediately disconnect the wireline telephone service at the network interface box or move the line switch on back of unit to LP2. If the LED is now flashing green, any telephones to be used must be connected to the second pair of wires in the home. 5. If the LED is red when the switch is positioned at LP2, then wireline service is also connected to this pair of wires.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE Warning: Do not attempt to connect the Dock-N-Talk™ telephone service to an active land line telephone service. If you have local wireline telephone service, use a different pair of wires to connect the Dock-N-Talk™ to the extension telephones.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE Docking the Cell Phone Using a Cable Connector To connect your cell phone to the Dock-N-Talk™, you will need the proper cable for your cell phone. Verify that the cable will connect to your model of cell phone by connecting the larger end of the cable to your cell phone. Be sure to power cycle your phone by turning it off and on before connecting the cable the first time. Then connect the small end of the cable to the connector on the right side of the DockN-Talk™.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE Docking the Cell Phone Using the Bluetooth Module If your cell phone is bluetooth enabled, you may connect to the Dock-N-Talk™ using a Phone Labs Bluetooth Module. To connect your cell phone using the Bluetooth Module, you will need to turn on the bluetooth feature on your cell phone. Be sure that your cell phone is turned on. Then connect the Bluetooth Module to the connector on the right side of the Dock-N-Talk™.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE LED STATUS Solid GREEN Indicates Dock-N-Talk™ is properly connected to the cell phone (via cable or Bluetooth Module). Flashing GREEN Indicates Dock-N-Talk™ Adjunct is powered and ready to connect but is not yet properly connected to cell phone or is connected to an unrecognized cell phone. Solid RED Indicates one or both scenarios: (1) Dock-N-Talk™ is plugged into a telephone line that is already in use by a wireline telephone service.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE The following describes the two different test modes: (1) Short Ring: Pressing down the key for less than one second will cause a short ring burst to extension sets. (2) Long Ring: Pressing and holding down the key for at least one second then releasing it will provide two long rings to the extensions sets. The long ring is useful to confirm which telephones are connected to the Dock-N-Talk™.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE EXTENSION TELEPHONES Placing a Call To place a call on an extension phone, pick up your handset and dial your telephone number normally. You may also dial a “#” at the end of the dialed number to make a slightly faster connection as you would on a land line call, but it is not required. The “#” tells the Dock-N-Talk™ that the dialing action is finished and functions similarly to the Send button on your cell phone.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE *Note: This feature works only with certain models of cellular handsets that support Caller ID and make it available to connected devices. Call Waiting Calls When you hear the call waiting beep, you can use the FLASH (or LINK, CALL WAITING, etc.) button on your extension telephone set to connect to the second caller. Pressing the FLASH button on your extension telephone set may toggle between the two callers if if that feature is supported by your cell phone.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE when accessing your voice mail from your wireless handset. Some cell phones require that the Voicemail number be programmed into the first phonebook location for this feature to work remotely. If this feature is not supported on your cell phone, enter your voicemail access number as a speed dial on your extension telephone set. Dialing your own cell phone number from your cell phone is often the Voicemail access number.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE detach your cell phone from the Dock-N-Talk™ during a call and continue the call on your cell phone if your cell phone supports that feature. *Note: This feature works only with certain models of cellular handsets that allow the live call transfer feature to be used by connected devices. HANDSET CHARGING While your cell phone is connected by a cable to the Dock-N-Talk™, your cell phone should be charging.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIFIC PHONES Sony Ericsson P800 series and P900 series Open Flip of Phone. Jog Dial to Control Panel.

UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE Nextel Phones Phone Labs’ Flash-To-Talk™ feature allows the Nextel Push-To-Talk™ service to be used from any regular corded or cordless telephone through the Dock-N-Talk™. On an iDEN cell phone, the Push-To-Talk™ (PTT) feature is activated by use of a special button. When using the Dock-N-Talk™, the FLASH button on your regular corded or cordless telephone activates the PTT functionality.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE If you have missed a PTT call, and would like to redial the person who last called you, simply pick up the handset and when you hear the dial tone press FLASH. Wait for the other party to reply, then press FLASH again before speaking. Hints: 1. After you press FLASH to begin speaking, you will know you are in transmit mode if you hear a short confirmation tone. 2.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE GLOSSARY Cell Phone Used generically to refer to any wireless mobile handset that may be operating on GSM, CDMA, TDMA, or analog cellular networks. Also called wireless or mobile phones. Extension Telephone Set Any analog corded or cordless telephone set that is plugged into the Dock-N-Talk™ base unit or through house wiring connected to the RJ-11 modular jack.
UNIVERSAL DOCKING STATION USER’S GUIDE TROUBLESHOOTING LED is Red Your Dock-N-Talk™ is plugged into a telephone line that is connected to a wireline service. If you have wireline service, move the switch on the back of the Dock-NTalk™ to LP2. If you have no wireline service, you should have a qualified phone service technician disconnect the wireline connection to your home before plugging into Dock-N-Talk™. This may require disconnecting the wireline at your network interface module.

If it is not, reconnect your cell phone. Voice Dial not working Some cell phones do not support this feature or require the dial pad cover to be flipped open for voice dial to be activated.
