maximum of four devices can be paired with the telephone base, but only two can be on the active devices list.
Pairing This refers to the process of Bluetooth devices registering device information with each other. The telephone base
must be paired with a Bluetooth enabled cell phone or headset before the Bluetooth device can be used. Depending
on the manufacturer, this is also referred to as BONDING.
PIN By default, the PIN is 0000 for the telephone base and for most Bluetooth devices. PIN information must be
exchanged between Bluetooth devices before they can be used. This is also known as a PASSKEY or PASSCODE.
