Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Use only the supplied NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries! The operation

periods for the handsets are only applicable with the default battery capacities.

The use of other battery types or non-rechargeable batteries/primary cells

can be dangerous. These may cause interference and/or unit damages.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for damage arising from such non-

compliance.

Do not use third party charging bays. The batteries may be damaged.

Please note the correct polarity while inserting the batteries.

Battery should not be exposed to excessive heat such as bright sunshine or re

SET UP THE TELEPHONE

2. SET UP THE TELEPHONE

2.1 Package Contents

The package contains the following items:

1 Handset

1 Base station

1 AC power adapter

2 Telephone line cords

1 Battery compartment back cover

1 NiMH rechargeable battery pack

User’s manual

Warranty card

2.2 Location

For maximum coverage and reduce the interference, here are some guidelines you

should consider when you place the base station:

- Place your telephone within 2 metres of the mains power socket and telephone

socket so that the cables will reach.

- Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid

interference. Your telephone works by sending radio signals between the handset

and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you locate the base.

Putting it as high as possible ensures the best signal.

If the reception for the base station 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 Connect the Base Station

Insert the AC power adapter and the telephone line cord into the base station, as

shown above.

Insert the other end of the AC power adapter into the wall outlet and the

telephone line cord into a telephone wall jack. If you have DSL high speed

internet service, a DSL lter (not included) is required.

NOTE

Use only the power adapter supplied with the base station.

BLUETOOTH

4. BLUETOOTH

4.1 Introducing Bluetooth

Your new telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has the following

features:

Pairing a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone with the telephone base. Two Bluetooth

devices can be paired up and connected.

Connecting a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone to make and receive MOBILE calls.

Two mobile phones can be connected but only one of them can be used at a time.

Making and receiving calls using your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone plan while

beneting from the ease and comfort of your home telephone system.

Glossary of terms

Below are some terms used in this User’s Guide to help you become familiar with

using your Bluetooth devices and your new telephone system.

Bluetooth mobile phone - Refers to a Bluetooth enabled mobile telephone.

MOBILE line - The communications service provided through your Bluetooth enabled

mobile phone.

HOME line - Your conventional telephone landline.

Pairing - This refers to the process of two Bluetooth devices registering device

information with each other. The telephone base must be paired with a Bluetooth

enabled mobile phone before the Bluetooth device can be used.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Refer to your mobile phone user’s guide for more information about its Bluetooth

function.

Make sure that your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone is kept within 5 metres away

from the telephone base in order to maintain a clear and consistent connection

between your Bluetooth mobile phone, telephone base and cell tower.

Make sure that your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone has sufcient signal

strength. You may need to move the Bluetooth enabled mobile phone and

telephone base to a location where the mobile signal may be stronger.

Charge your Bluetooth mobile phone while it is connected to the telephone base

because your mobile phone’s battery will discharge faster while it is connected

wirelessly to the telephone base.

Monitor your mobile phone’s usage because airtime is deducted from your mobile

plan for the duration of the mobile calls.

•

16

If you experience poor sound quality, your mobile phone may be too far away

from the telephone base. To improve Bluetooth signal strength, place your mobile

phone closer to the telephone base (within 5 metres) and make sure that there are

no physical obstacles between the telephone base and the mobile phone, such as

large furniture or thick walls.

4.2 Bluetooth Setup

4.2.1 Add a Mobile Phone

To pair and connect a mobile phone:

Tap on the telephone base and you hear two beeps.

When slot 1 is empty, the base screen displays Pairing D1... and the

1

icon

ashes.

When slot 1 is paired and slot 2 is empty, the base screen displays Pairing

D2... and the

2

icon ashes.

When both slots are paired, the base screen displays Replace 1 or 2? Press 1

or 2 to choose the desired slot. Then the corresponding icon (

1

or

2

) ashes.

Turn on the Bluetooth feature of your mobile phone. Once your mobile phone nds

your VTech phone (LS6191A), press the appropriate key on your mobile phone to

continue the pairing process.

Your mobile phone may prompt you to enter the PIN of the telephone base.

The default PIN of the telephone base is 0000.

All mobile phones that are connected to the telephone base are

disconnected temporarily until the pairing process is completed.

When the mobile phone is successfully paired and connected to the telephone base,

you hear a conrmation tone. The corresponding status icon (

1

or

2

) displays.

NOTES:

The pairing process may take up to one minute. If the pairing process fails, try again.

The steps for the pairing process may vary for different mobile phones. If this

happens, follow the prompts on your mobile phone and your LS6191A to complete

the pairing process.
