is not connected to any other Bluetooth device.

phone. Once your cell phone finds your
VTech phone ( VTech DS6641), 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 ( 1 or 2) turns on.
If you have trouble pairing your cell phone, it may not
be compatible with your DS6641. 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.
