Bluetooth setup
To use a Bluetooth enabled cell phone with your
DS6511
, you must first pair and
connect it with the telephone base. All
DS6511
handsets can be used to make or
answer on the cell phone line.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (30 feet). When you
pair a Bluetooth cell phone to the telephone base, move 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.
Add a cell phone
Before you begin, make sure that you have cellular coverage and your Bluetooth
enabled cell phone is not connected to any other Bluetooth devices. Refer to your
cell phone user's manual to learn how to search for or add new Bluetooth devices.
All paired cell phones are shown on the cell devices list.
Once you have paired and connected a device with the telephone base, you do not
need to repeat the procedure again unless you want to replace the existing paired
cell phone with a new one.
To pair and connect a cell phone:
Press and hold
1
/
2
on the telephone base for about
four seconds. The
1
/
2
light blinks.
If there is already a cell phone in the slot, the existing
cell phone will be erased from cell devices list.
Turn on the Bluetooth feature of your cell phone. Once
your cell phone finds your VTech phone (
VTech DS6511
),
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
.
All cell phones that are connected to the telephone base are disconnected
temporarily until the pairing process is completed.
When the cell phone is successfully paired and connected
to the telephone base, the corresponding status icon (
1
/

)
displays and the corresponding device light (
1/
2
) turns on.
If you have trouble pairing your cell phone, it may not
be compatible with your DS6511. 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
DS6511
to complete the
pairing process.
