Information about caller ID with call waiting
Your new LS5145 telephone system 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 which are sent by the telephone company after the rst or second ring. Caller
ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of callers on the HOME and CELL lines.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering
the telephone, even when on another call. In addition, the time and date are sent by the telephone
and cellular service provider company along with the caller ID information. These services are
available only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone
companies use compatible equipment.
If you simultaneously receive incoming calls on the HOME and CELL lines, the caller ID screen will
divide into a top and bottom part. The top part will display the HOME caller ID information, while the
bottom part the CELL caller ID information.
Contact your local telephone company and cellular 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 don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.
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 information
If you subscribe to caller ID services provided by your local telephone company and/or cellular service
provider, the Call Log records your incoming calls for both the HOME and CELL lines.
Although the call log records the caller ID information of both lines, CELL line call log entries only
provide the number. The time and date of the call will appear in the call log entry if only the time is
set. The Bluetooth name of the cell phone will also appear. However, if the number on the incoming
CELL call matches a number in the Phone Book, the name will be retrieved from the matched
phone book entry.
Memory match
Names in the Call Log will only be displayed if the caller ID information is provided by your local
telephone company.
If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone number in the phone
book, then the name from the phone book will appear in the call log entry. For example, if Christine
calls from 555-555-5555, and the phone book entry is Chris at 555-5555, then Chris will appear
in the call log entry.
If a Bluetooth
cellular device is

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 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 electric 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 soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.
Do not use excess water 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 the water, DO NOT
RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out 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 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 will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Rechargeable Batteries: This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride 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. Like other batteries of this type, if
burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
