It will either flash alternating colors, blink, or remain solid. Regardless of the differences, this light always means that the device is in pairing mode.

The color and frequency of these lights are different for each device. Some devices even blink a different color and frequency when the pairing has failed, so check your Bluetooth manual to ensure your device and cell phone are paired.
