Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why my bluetooth mobile phone can not auto-connect to U118? I have to manually connect with U118 every time when I entered my house!
A: Make sure that your phone's "Power Saving" is not ON and the Bluetooth function is always on. With power saving mode ON, your mobile phone will turn off "Bluetooth" function when it is not used after you leave your house and thus prohibit "Auto-connect" later on.
Q: Why can't I hear dial tone after connecting my office phone with U118?
A: First, make sure your office phone is not a digital phone, a digital phone requires specific hand-shake command that is brand dependent. U118 works with all types of analog phone, corded or cordless, but not digital phone. Your office is most likely the only place that may use digital phone. You can tell if your phone is digital, if it has separate functional buttons like "PARK", "FORWARD", and many different "LINE" choices for switching calls. Secondly, make sure that you connect your house phone to "PHONE" port of U118. The "LINE" port is for connecting the wall phone plug of landline service.
Q: Do I have to pay mobile phone company for using the bluetooth function on my mobile phone?
A: No, you don;t have to pay extra. The Bluetooth function is like camera on mobile phone, it is a hardware function of mobile phone not relating to mobile service provider.
Q: Can U118 answer calls from two different mobile phones after I registered both mobile phones?
A: U118 works one-on-one with any of three registered mobile phones. It is a first come (home) first serve baisis. Let's say both Mom and Dad's mobile were registered with U118. When Mom comes home first, her mobile phone will auto-connect with U118. Dad's mobile phone will not be connected to U118 because it is occupied. When Mom leaves the house, then U118 will search for signal from Dad's phone and connect automatically. One can also turn off the Bluetooth function of your mobile phone if you do not want U118 to find and connect to your mobile phone.
Q: With my landline service still active, can I connect one RJ11 phone cable at the "Phone" port and landline phone jack on wall to make mobile calls on my house phone extensions?
A: No, you can not connect U118 signal output from the "PHONE" port to wall phone jack when you still subscribe to landline service! FCC regulation prohibits the introduction of foreign current onto active house phone loop. One can only do so when landline service does not exist in one's home.
Q: Will there be extra fee charged by mobile company if I use U118 with my mobile phone?
A: No, there is no extra fee from your mobile service provider as long as your monthly mobile minutes used is within your calling plan limit.
