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.

telephone line cord into a telephone wall jack. If you have DSL high speed
internet service, a DSL lter (not included) is required.

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.

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 1icon
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 2to choose the desired slot. Then the corresponding icon ( 1or 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 ( 1or 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.
