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.

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
• be active on a call at a time.
Connect a Bluetooth enabled headset for making and receiving
• 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 sufcient 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 difculty 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 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. 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 will be ready for use. 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 base, but only two can be on the Active Devices list.

Before using your
• Bluetooth enabled device(s) with the telephone base, make sure that your Bluetooth device(s) are not connected to any other device(s).
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(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 Devices list (page 26).
To learn more about managing your Bluetooth device(s), see the (page 23). To help you set up your Bluetooth device(s), please follow the instructions in each section and refer to the Troubleshooting section for help (page 100).
