Bluetooth setup

To use a Bluetooth enabled cell phone with your 

LS6191

, you 

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

telephone base. All 

LS6191

 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, make sure your Bluetooth cell 

phone is close 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.

Tap 

 on the telephone base. You 

hear two beeps. The screen displays 

Pairing D1...

 and the 

1

 icon flashes.

Turn on the Bluetooth feature of your 

cell phone. Once your cell phone finds 

your VTech phone (

VTech LS6191

), 

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.

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

be compatible with your LS6191. 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 

LS6191

 to complete the pairing process.
