How It Works: Pairing and Using Your Classic Retro Bluetooth Phone

This classic retro phone works by connecting to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Once paired, it acts as a Bluetooth audio device, allowing you to make and receive calls using the handset or speakerphone. Here is how it works step by step.

Step 1: Charge the Phone

Connect the included USB cable to the phone and a power source. Charge the built-in battery before first use.

Step 2: Enable Bluetooth on Your Smartphone

Open your iPhone or Android settings and turn on Bluetooth. Keep the phone within approximately 10 meters (33 feet) of your smartphone.

Step 3: Pair the Phone

Turn on the retro phone and enter pairing mode (refer to the user manual for the exact button). Select the device from your smartphone’s Bluetooth menu to complete pairing.

Step 4: Make and Receive Calls

Receive calls: Answer using the handset or switch to speakerphone.
Make calls: Dial from your smartphone; the call audio routes through the retro phone.
Adjust volume: Use the volume controls on the phone.

How It Differs from a Traditional Landline

A traditional landline connects to a wall jack (RJ11) and works independently. This classic retro Bluetooth phone does not use a wall jack or VoIP. It relies entirely on a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone.
