About caller ID  
This product supports caller ID services provided by most local telephone  
service companies. Depending on your service subscription, you may see  
the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number that are sent by the  
telephone company after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see  
the name, number, date and time of calls.  
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the  
caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.  
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature.  
Contact your telephone company if:  
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services ( you may  
need to combine these services).  
• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.  
• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.  
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be  
available in all areas.  
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are  
in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone companies use  
compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone company  
along with the call information.  
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this  
product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined  
caller ID with call waiting service.

Call log  
If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller appears  
after the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller information  
appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.  
• The call log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the  
phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the phone number has  
more than 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has more  
than 15 characters, only the first 15 characters are shown and saved in the  
call log.  
• You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory.  
• Entries appear in reverse chronological order.  
• When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new  
incoming call information.

Answering system operation  
Answering system and voicemail  
Your telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication.  
Most telephone companies offer voicemail service (fees may apply). Your  
telephone’s answering system and voicemail indication are independent  
features, and each alerts you to new messages differently. For more  
information on the voicemail indicators, see page 8 . To listen to your voicemail,  
follow the instructions provided by your voicemail service provider. To listen to  
messages recorded on your digital answering system, see page 28.  
If you subscribe to a voicemail service through your telephone service  
provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail  
together. If you are on a call, or the answering system is busy and you  
receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message. Set  
your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your  
voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your voicemail to answer calls  
after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings.  
Some telephone companies program the delay before answering calls in  
seconds instead of rings; in this case, allow six seconds per ring when  
determining the appropriate setting.  
Message capacity  
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each  
message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for  
the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes.  
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.  
Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

Expand your telephone system  
The handsets provided with your telephone system are pre-registered. Each  
handset is assigned a number that shows on the handset display. Additional  
handsets registered to the telephone system are assigned in sequential  
order. For instance, if the telephone system already has HANDSET 1 and  
HANDSET 2, the new registered handset is assigned HANDSET 3. This  
telephone system accommodates up to 12 handsets.  
Add and register a handset (optional)  
You can add new handsets (LS6205, purchased separately) to your  
telephone system, but each handset must be registered with the telephone  
base before use. When first purchased, each expansion handset shows  
NOT REGISTERED. You may need to charge the handset before  
registering to the telephone base. For more details on battery charging, see  
the table on page 3.  
To register a handset:  
1. Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base or charger. If  
PRESS FIND HS 4 SEC ON BASE does not appear on the handset  
screen after a few seconds, remove the handset and place it in the  
telephone base or charger again.  
2. On the telephone base, press and hold FIND HANDSET for about four  
seconds (until the red IN USE light on the telephone base turns on) and  
then release the button. The handset shows PLEASE WAIT... and it  
takes up to 60 seconds to complete the registration. The handset shows  
HANDSET X REGISTERED (X represents the handset number assigned)  
and you hear a beep when the registration completes.  
• If the registration fails, the handset shows NOT REGISTERED. To reset  
the handset, remove the handset from the telephone base and place it back  
in. Try the registration process again.  
• You cannot register a handset if any other system handset is in use.

Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.  
Avoid rough treatment  
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if  
you ever need to ship it.  
Avoid water  
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or

Appendix  
About cordless telephones  
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some  
limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the cordless  
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations  
could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this  
reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those  
on corded telephones.  
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a  
working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls  
cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off,  
or if the electrical power is interrupted.  
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause  
interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place  
the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is  
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR often reduces or  
eliminates the interference.  
Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short  
circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor  
may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery  
charger.  
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner.  
Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured,  
they could release caustic material which could cause injury.  
The RBRC® seal  
The RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that VTech Communications, Inc. is

FCC Part 15  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a Class B digital device  
under Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These requirements are  
intended to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This  
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,  
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does  
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the  
following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is  
connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for  
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:  
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference  
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of communications  
may not be ensured when using this telephone.  
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy  
that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according to the intended usage of the product.  
This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC criteria. The handset may be safely  
held against the ear of the user. The telephone base shall be installed and used such that parts of  
the user’s body other than the hands are maintained at a distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches)  
or more.  
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.  
FCC Part 68 and ACTA  
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and with technical requirements adopted by  
the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). The label on the back or bottom of this  
equipment contains, among other things, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. This  
identifier must be provided to your local telephone company upon request.  
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to premises wiring and the telephone network  
must comply with applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant  
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a  
compatible modular jack that is also compliant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting  
to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines. See Installation Instructions in the user’s manual.  
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many devices you may connect to  
your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. The REN for this product is encoded  
as the 6th and 7th characters following the US: in the product identifier (e.g., if ## is 03, the REN is  
0.3). In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more information,  
please contact your local telephone company.  
This equipment may not be used with Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment  
connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not disable your alarm  
equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone  
company or a qualified installer.  
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem has  
been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its  
authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the Limited Warranty.
