Handset battery charging  
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see the  
table below). If necessary, place the handset in the telephone base to charge the  
battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone base when not in  
use. The battery is fully charged after 11 hours of continuous charging. See the table  
on page 59 for battery operating times.  
If the screen is blank or displays Put in charger, you need to charge the handset  
without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to  
use the telephone for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset displays  
Low battery along with a flashing icon. If you are on a call in low battery mode,  
the handset plays short beeps to alert you.  
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.

Caller ID  
About caller ID  
This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service  
providers. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s  
number, or the caller’s name and number that are sent by your telephone service  
provider after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number,  
date and time of calls.  
Information about caller ID with call waiting  
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller  
before answering the call, even while on another call.  
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact  
your telephone service provider 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 service providers use compatible  
equipment. The time and date, along with the call information, are from the  
telephone service provider.  
Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers may  
intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view caller ID log  
entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must save the entry to the  
directory (see page 41).  
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this  
product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with  
call waiting service.

Caller ID  
Caller ID log  
If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller will appear after  
the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller’s information appears,  
it will not be saved in the caller ID log.  
• The caller ID 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  
caller ID log.  
Caller ID log entries are shared by all system devices. Any modifications made  
on one handset apply to all.  
• You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory.  
• Entries appear in reverse chronological order.  
• When the caller ID log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new  
incoming call information.  
• XX missed calls shows when there are new caller ID log entries that have not  
been reviewed.  
• Call log empty shows when you access the caller ID log without records.  
• Only one system device can review the caller ID log at a time. If a system device  
tries to enter the caller ID log while another system device is already in it, its  
screen displays Not available.  
Memory match  
If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone  
number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the  
corresponding name in your directory.  
For example, if Mike Smith calls, his name appears as Mike if this is how you

Answering system and voicemail  
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages:  
those left on its built-in digital answering system and those left with your telephone  
service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in digital  
answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts  
you to new messages differently.  
• If

on the telephone base. See Voicemail number on  
page 15 to set your voicemail number.  
Some telephone service providers bundle or combine multiple services like  
voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To  
check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone  
service provider.  
To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off your  
answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail  
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail service.  
Using the answering system and voicemail together  
You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by  
setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers as  
described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your  
telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call, or if the answering system  
is busy recording a message 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, if your voicemail answers after six rings,  
set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers  
may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this  
case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.

Expand your telephone system  
The cordless handset provided within your product package is already registered  
as HANDSET 1.  
This telephone system accommodates up to five handsets. You can add new  
handsets (LS6005/LS6005-13/LS6005-15/LS6500-16/LS6005-17, purchased  
separately) to your telephone base. Each new handset must be registered with the  
telephone base before use. Additional handsets registered to the telephone system  
are assigned numbers in the sequential order.

a damp cloth for cleaning.  
4. Do not use this product near water such as near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or  
swimming pool, or in a wet basement or shower.  
5. Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.  
6. Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the telephone base and handset are provided for  
ventilation. To protect them from overheating, these openings must not be blocked by placing the  
product on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or rug. This product should never be placed near or  
over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in any area where proper  
ventilation is not provided.  
7. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.

power company.  
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product where the cord may be  
walked on.  
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through the slots in the telephone base or handset  
because they may touch dangerous voltage points or create a short circuit. Never spill liquid of any  
kind on the product.  
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to an authorized  
service facility. Opening or removing parts of the telephone base or handset other than specified  
access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can  
cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.  
11. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.  
12. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to an authorized service facility under  
the following conditions:  
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
• If liquid has been spilled onto the product.  
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those  
controls that are covered by the operation instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls  
may result in damage and often requires extensive work by an authorized technician to restore  
the product to normal operation.  
• If the product has been dropped and the telephone base and/or handset has been damaged.

any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a  
charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing concentrations  
of flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an  
environment could create a fire or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of  
oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a  
leak of natural gas; etc.  
15. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.  
16. The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The  
prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or  
cabinet outlet.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers  
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):  
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary  
evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers.  
Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:  
Pacemaker patients  
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.  
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when  
it is turned ON.  
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.  
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using  
wireless telephones.  
Operating range  
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain  
distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the  
layout of your home or office.  
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays Out of range OR No pwr at base.  
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call may not connect  
well when you press . Move closer to the telephone base, then press to answer the call.  
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference. To  
improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.  
ECO mode  
This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery performance. The  
ECO mode activates automatically whenever the handset is synchronized with the telephone base.

Appendix  
Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your 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 handle it  
with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.  
Electrical storms  
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own  
safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.  
Cleaning your telephone  
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only  
with a dry non-abrasive cloth. Do not use dampened cloth or cleaning solvents of any kind.  
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing  
in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG  
THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove the telephone  
by the unplugged cords.  
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, 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.

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, ACTA and IC regulations  
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 telephone service provider 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 the 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, contact  
your telephone service provider.  
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  
service provider 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.  
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone service provider may  
temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone service provider is required to notify you  
before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.  
You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the telephone service provider is required  
to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone service provider may make  
changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of  
this product. The telephone service provider is required to notify you if such changes are planned.  
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.  
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store emergency telephone numbers  
(e.g., police, fire, medical) in these locations. If you do store or test emergency numbers, please:  
Remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before hanging up.  
Perform such activities in off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.

inability to use the Product or other associated equipment, the cost of substitute equipment, and
