press the appropriate key on your cell

phone to continue the pairing process.

you to enter the PIN of the

telephone base. The default PIN

of the telephone base is

two beeps. The corresponding

status icon (

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.
