Bluetooth setup

To use a Bluetooth enabled cell phone with your

,

you must first pair and connect your Bluetooth cell phone(s) with

the telephone base. All

DS6621/DS662V

handsets can be used to

make or answer calls on the cell line.

Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (a

maximum of approximately 30 feet). When you pair a Bluetooth

cell phone to the telephone base, place your Bluetooth cell phone

closer to the telephone base to maintain sufficient signal strength.

For optimal performance, keep your cell phone within 15 feet of the

telephone base while using the cell line.

Pair and connect your Bluetooth enabled cell phone

Before you begin, make sure you have cellular coverage and

your Bluetooth enabled cell phone is not connected to

any other Bluetooth device.

Choose a slot to pair the cell phone.

Press and hold

CELL 1

or

CELL 2/HEADSET

on the telephone

base for about four seconds until you hear

a confirmation tone. The

CELL 1

or

CELL 2/HEADSET

light flashes.

Turn on the Bluetooth feature of your cell

phone. Once your cell phone finds your

VTech phone (

VTech DS6621/DS662V

),

press the appropriate key on your cell

phone to continue the pairing process.

Your cell phone may prompt you to

enter the PIN of the telephone base.

The default PIN of the telephone base

is

0000

.

When the cell phone is connected to the telephone base,

the corresponding status icon (

1

or

2

) displays. The

corresponding device light (

CELL 1

or

CELL 2/HEADSET

)

turns on.

NOTES

The pairing process may take up to one minute. If the pairing process

fails, try again.

The steps for the pairing process may vary for different cell phones. If

this happens, follow the prompts on your cell

phone and your

DS6621/DS662V

to complete the pairing process.

All cell phones that are connected to the telephone base are

disconnected temporarily until the pairing process is completed.
