The handset provided is pre-registered as HANDSET 1. Additional handsets registered to the telephone
system will be assigned in sequential order. For instance, if the telephone system already has
HANDSET 1 and you wish to register another handset, the new handset will become HANDSET 2.
In normal operating conditions, up to four handsets can be used at the same time. For example, two
handsets can be on a HOME call and two handsets can be on a CELL call. However, while an active
handset is experiencing interference or losing signal due to range issues, you may not be able to use
the maximum of four handsets.
The LS5145 telephone
system comes with one
registered handset.
Up to 12 handsets (LS5105,
purchased separately)
can be registered to your
telephone system.
Expanding your telephone system
Your LS5145 telephone system can accommodate up to 12 cordless handsets. You can add new
handsets to your telephone system (LS5105, purchased separately), but each handset must be
registered with the telephone base before use. To register new handsets to your telephone system,
see page 7.

Introducing Bluetooth
Your new LS5145 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:
Pair up to eight Bluetooth enabled cell phones and/or headsets with the telephone base.
Connect a maximum of two cell phones to make and receive
CELL calls. Only one cell phone can
be active on a call at a time.
Connect a Bluetooth enabled headset for making and receiving
HOME calls.
Conference CELL and HOME calls.
Make and receive calls using your cell phone plan while utilizing the ease and comfort of your
home telephone system.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Refer to the user's manual of your cell phone or headset for more information about its Bluetooth
function.
Operate your Bluetooth device within 12 feet from the telephone base. Bluetooth technology
operates best within a short range. Keeping within 12 feet will maintain the connection quality of
the Bluetooth device with the telephone base.
Make sure that your cell phone has sufcient signal strength. You may need to move the cell phone
and telephone base to a location where the cell phone signal strength may be stronger.
Charge your Bluetooth cell phone while it is connected to the telephone base. Your cell phone's
battery will discharge faster while it is connected wirelessly to the telephone base.
Monitor your cell phone's usage because airtime is deducted from your cellular plan for the duration
of the CELL calls.
Refer to the Bluetooth setup section (page 19) to learn how to set up and manage your Bluetooth
device(s). Refer to the Telephone operation section (page 59) on how to operate your Bluetooth
devices with your new LS5145 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section (page 100) if you experience difculty using the telephone system.

devices and your new LS5145 telephone system.
Active Devices list - A maximum of two paired devices (two cell phones or one cell phone and one

or headset can be on a call at a time.
Bluetooth cell phone - Refers to a Bluetooth enabled cell telephone.
CELL line - The communication service provided through your Bluetooth enabled cell telephone.
Connected - A Bluetooth device (cell phone or headset) can only be used when it is connected to
the telephone base. When a Bluetooth device is connected to the telephone base and active on the

Disconnected - An X in front of a device on the Active Devices list will appear and a diagonal line
will appear across devices 1 and/or 2 in the icon status bar when the corresponding Bluetooth device
is disconnected from the telephone base.
Discoverable mode - Before a Bluetooth device can be paired, it must be set in this mode. When
pairing your cell phone, the telephone base will be set in this mode. When pairing a headset, the
headset must be set in this mode. Depending on the manufacturer, this mode is sometimes referred
to as Find Me or Visibility.
HOME line - Your conventional telephone land line.
Paired Devices list - Once Bluetooth devices have been paired with the telephone base, they will
appear on the Paired Devices list. A maximum of eight devices can be paired with the telephone

device(s) 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.
Bluetooth at a glance
The telephone base allows you to pair up to eight Bluetooth devices. You can have a maximum of two
paired devices connected at anytime (two cell phones, or one cell phone and one headset), but only
one cell phone or headset can be on a call at a time.
Once you have paired a device with the telephone base, the pairing information will be stored on
the Paired Devices list (page 23). To use a paired device, it must be connected and on the Active

Information about caller ID with call waiting
Your new LS5145 telephone system supports caller ID services provided by most local telephone
service companies. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s number, or the
caller’s name and number which are sent by the telephone company after the rst or second ring. Caller
ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls on the HOME and CELL lines.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering
the telephone, even when on another call. In addition, the time and date are sent by the telephone
and cellular service providers along with the caller ID information. These services are available only
if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies
use compatible equipment.
If you simultaneously receive incoming calls on the
HOME and CELL lines, the caller ID screen will
divide into two parts. The top part will display the HOME caller ID information, while the bottom part
the CELL caller ID information.
Contact your local telephone company and cellular service provider if:
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine
these services).
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
You don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features
without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

Call log information
If you subscribe to caller ID services provided by your local telephone company and/or cellular service
provider, the Call Log records your incoming calls for both the HOME and CELL lines.
Although the call log records the caller ID information of both lines, the
CELL line call log entries
only provide the number. The time and date of the call will appear in the call log entry if only the
time is set. The Bluetooth name of the cell phone will also appear. However, if the number on the
incoming CELL call matches a number in the Phone Book, the name will be retrieved from the
matched phone book entry.

Names in the Call Log will only be displayed if the caller ID information is provided by your local
telephone company.
If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone number in the phone
book, then the name from the phone book will appear in the call log entry. For example, if
Christine
calls from 555-555-5555, and the phone book entry is Chris at 555-5555, then Chris will appear
