Bluetooth setup

To use a Bluetooth enabled cell phone with your 

DS6673

, you 

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

telephone base. All 

DS6673

 handsets can be used to make or 

answer calls on the cell lines. 
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 first Bluetooth 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.

Press and hold 

CELL 1

 or

  CELL 2

 on the 

telephone base for about four seconds. You 

hear two beeps and the 

CELL 1

 or  

CELL 2

 light blinks.

Turn on the Bluetooth feature of your cell 

phone. Once your cell phone finds your 

VTech phone (

VTech 

 

DS6673

), 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, you hear two beeps. 

The corresponding status icon (

1

 or 

2

displays. The corresponding device light  

(

CELL 1

 or 

CELL

 

2

) turns on.

If you have trouble pairing your cell phone, it may not 

be compatible with your DS6673. Check the Bluetooth 

compatibility list at www.vtechphones.com.

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 

DS6673

 to complete the pairing process.
