Install the telephone base as shown below. The telephone base is designed
for tabletop use only.
Make sure that the electrical outlet is not controlled by a wall switch.
If you subscribe to digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed Internet service
through your telephone line, you must install a DSL lter between the
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack. The lter prevents noise and
caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service
provider for more information about DSL lters.
Use only the power adapter supplied with this product. To order a
replacement, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com or
call 1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada, go to www.vtechcanada.com or dial
1 (800) 267-7377.
The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or
oor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if
it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

Introducing Bluetooth
Your new LS6245 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has
the following features:
Pair up to four Bluetooth enabled cell phones 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
After plugging in the telephone base, wait at least 20 seconds before
connecting a Bluetooth device. The screen shows Bluetooth system busy
if you try to connect too soon.
Refer to the user's manual of your cell phone or headset for more
information about its Bluetooth function.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (about
30 feet). When using a cell phone with the LS6245, it is best to place
your cell phone between one and fteen feet from the telephone base.
When using a Bluetooth headset with the LS6245, you are limited to the
range of your headset (see the user’s manual of your headset for more
information).
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 is stronger.
Charge your Bluetooth cell phone while it is connected to the telephone
base. Your cell phone's battery discharges faster while it is connected to
the telephone base via Bluetooth wireless technology.
Monitor your cell phone's usage because airtime is deducted from your
cellular plan for the duration of all cell calls.
Refer to the Bluetooth setup section (page 14) to learn how to set up
and manage your Bluetooth device(s). Refer to the Telephone operation
section (page 42) on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new
LS6245 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section (page 80) if you experience difculty using the
telephone system.

Glossary of terms
Below are some terms used in this user’s manual to help you become familiar
with using your Bluetooth devices and your new LS6245 telephone system.
Active devices - A maximum of two paired devices (two cell phones, or one
cell phone and one headset) on the active devices list can be connected to
the telephone base, but only one cell phone 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 active devices list, it is
ready for use.
Disconnected - A diagonal line appears across devices 1 and/or 2 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 is 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 - Once Bluetooth devices have been paired with the
telephone base, they appear on the paired devices list. A 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.
13
Bluetooth
Bluetooth at a glance
The telephone base allows you to pair up to four Bluetooth devices. You
can have a maximum of two paired devices connected at any time (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 is stored on the paired devices list (page 16). To use a paired
device, it must be connected and on the active devices list (page 18).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Once you have paired a device with the telephone base, you do not have
to repeat the pairing procedure again, unless you delete the device from
the paired devices list (page 16).
When adding, removing, or replacing a Bluetooth device on the active
devices list, all connected devices are temporarily disconnected until the
procedure is complete. It may take up to two minutes to reconnect.
