Setting up the telephone

2. SETTING UP THE TELEPHONE

2.1 Package contents

The package contains the following items:

･ 1 Handset ･ 1 Rechargeable battery pack

･ 1 Base station ･ 1 Chinese operation manual

･ 1 AC power adapter ･ 1 English operation manual

･ 2 Telephone line cords

2.2 Location

For maximum coverage and reduce the interference, here are some guidelines you should consider when you place the base unit,

- place it at a convenient, high, and central location with no obstructions between the handset and base unit in an indoor environment.

- place it away from electronic appliances such as televisions, microwave ovens, radios, personal computers, wireless devices or other

cordless phones.

- avoid facing radio frequency transmitters, such as external antennas of mobile phone cell stations.

- avoid plugging it into the same circuit as other major household electrical appliances because of the potential for interference. Try moving

the appliance or the base unit to another power outlet.

If the reception for a base unit location is not satisfactory, move it to another location for better reception. Depending on the surrounding

conditions as well as spatial and structural factors, the range may be reduced. The range indoors is normally less than outdoors.

2.3 Connecting the telephone

Before you can start using your telephone you must plug in the telephone connection cords and the mains cable.

Connecting the base station:

1. Plug the power supply & telephone line cord into the base station.

2. Plug the power supply cord into the wall outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

3. Plug the telephone line cord into the wall jack. If you have DSL high speed internet service, a DSL filter (not included) is required.

4. Always use the cables provided in the box.

2.4 Installing and charging the battery pack

1. Slide out the battery compartment cover.

2. Place the supplied battery pack as indicated. Locate the battery pack lead and connector and plug it into the socket inside the battery

compartment (the red wire should be on the left). Tuck the battery pack leads in the space above the battery pack.

3. Slide the battery compartment cover back.

4. Put the handset on the base and charge the battery pack for 16 hours first time.

Use only the supplied NiMH rechargeable battery pack.

Bluetooth

4. BLUETOOTH

4.1 Introducing Bluetooth

Your new VTech 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 VTech LS6245, it is best to

place your cell phone between one and fifteen feet from the telephone base. When using a Bluetooth headset with the VTech 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 sufficient 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.

4.2 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 VTech LS6245

telephone system.

4.3 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. To use a paired device, it

must be connected and on the active devices list.

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.
