Getting started
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.
The LS5145 telephone
system comes with one
registered handset.
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.

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
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.

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.

must be exchanged between Bluetooth devices before they can be used. This is also known as a
Passkey or Passcode.
