From the manual -

You can connect your base unit and cellular

phone using Bluetooth wireless technology, so

that you can make or answer cellular calls

using your phone system. This allows you to:

– use the unit to talk on cellular calls even if

some areas of your home have poor

cellular reception, simply by placing your

cellular phone in an area with good

reception.

– talk on cellular calls even if your cellular

phone is in your pocket or bag.

– enjoy cordless cellular calls even if your

cellular phone plugged in and charging.

Important:

Your cellular phone must support the

Hands Free Profile (HFP) specification.

You may pair 2 cellular phones and 1

headset.

The unit can be used to talk on 2 lines at

the same time (for example, 2 cellular lines,

or the landline and 1 cellular line).

Only 2 Bluetooth devices can be used with

the unit at the same time (for example, 2

cellular lines, or the headset and 1 cellular

line).

Locate your cellular phone near the base

unit. If the cellular phone is too close to the

base unit during a cellular call, you may

hear noise. For best performance, we

recommend placing the cellular phone

between 0.6 m to 3 m (2 feet to 10 feet)

away from the base unit.

For more details and the list of compatible

cellular phones, please visit our Web site:

http://shop.panasonic.com/bluetooth-phone

Before pairing a Bluetooth enabled cellular

phone to the base unit, make sure that no

other Bluetooth device such as a Bluetooth

headset is connected to your cellular phone.

1 Base unit:

Press and hold MCELL 1N or MCELL 2N

for about 5 seconds.

After the corresponding CELL

indicator on the base unit starts

flashing, the rest of the procedure

must be completed within 5 minutes.

2 Your cellular phone:

While the corresponding CELL

indicator is flashing, follow the

instructions of your cellular phone to

enter the pairing mode.

Depending on your cellular phone, it

may ask you to enter the Bluetooth

PIN (default: “0000”).

If your cellular phone prompts you

to confirm the passkey, tap MOKN or

otherwise to accept the pairing

request.

3 Base unit:

Wait until a long beep sounds.

It may take more than 10 seconds

to complete pairing.

When the corresponding CELL

indicator lights up, the cellular

phone is connected to the base unit.

You are ready to make cellular calls.

Note:

If the cellular phone has already paired

to the base unit, it is overwritten.

Make sure that your cellular phone is set

to connect to this product automatically.

Refer to your cellular phone’s operating

instructions.

Make sure you cancel your cellular

phone’s current pairing if you want to

pair it to the other line (page 17).

The default setting for the alert feature is

“On”, so when you pair your cellular

phone to the base unit, this feature may

be activated (page 55). (This depends

on the version and type of cellular phone

you are using.)

Thanks for the info. It is exactly what I read in the Panasonic manual, but the manual did not help. Maybe I did not state my question/problem well enough. My iPhone does not recognize the Panasonic, so I never get to the point on my iPhone of entering a Bluetooth PIN, confirming a passkey or accepting the pairing request. I will continue to work on the problem.
