Telephone base installation
Install the telephone base as shown below.
Make sure that the electrical outlet is not controlled by a wall switch.
If you subscribe to digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed Internet service through
your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord
and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused
by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about
DSL filters.
Use only the power adapter supplied with this product. To order a replacement,
visit our website at www.vtechphones.com or call 1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada,
go to www.vtechcanada.com or call 1 (800) 267-7377.
The power adapter is 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.
Even if you do not subscribe to any conventional telephone service, you can still
use the cell line alone without plugging in a telephone line cord.
CAUTION:
If you subscribe to telephone service from a cable company or a VoIP service provider, contact
your cable/VoIP service provider for more information.

Are you a new cable or VoIP subscriber?
If your answer is yes, the existing telephone jacks in your home may no longer
work. Your cable/VoIP service provider uses a different connection, seperate from
your old traditional telephone service, to connect the modem/router/terminal adapter
installed in your home.
To allow all existing telephone jacks to work, contact your telephone service
provider for solutions, such as rewiring services (fees may apply).
If your answer is no, your existing telephone jacks will continue to work as normal.
Did you subscribe to voicemail service from your telephone
service provider?
Your telephone has a built-in answering system and supports voicemail feature offered
by your telephone service provider (subscription is required, and fees may apply).
Refer to Answering system and voicemail on page 57 for more details.
To use the built-in answering system:
You may see this online Complete user’s manual on how to record your outgoing
announcement, retrieve messages and other related operations. You may also
refer to the Abridged user’s manual provided in your product package for
abbreviated instructions.
To use the voicemail:
To retrieve your voicemail messages, you typically dial an access number provided
by your telephone service provider, and then enter a security code. Contact your
telephone service provider for instructions on how to configure the voicemail
settings and listen to messages.

Introducing Bluetooth
Your new LS6191 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has the
following features:
Pair and connect up to a maximum of two cell phones with the telephone base
to make and receive cell calls. Only one cell phone can be active on a call at
a time.
Make and receive calls using your cell phone plan while utilizing the ease and
comfort of your home telephone system.
Receive phonebook entries from your cell phone.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Refer to the user's manual of your Bluetooth enabled cell phone for more
information about how that device uses Bluetooth connectivity.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (a maximum of
approximately 30 feet) from the telephone base. Keep connected cell phones
within this range. For optimal performance, keep your cell phone within 15 feet of
the telephone base while using the LS6191 cell line.
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the LS6191 cannot improve
the reception. However, if there is a location in your house with better reception,
you can leave your cell phone at that location while you use the LS6191 cell line.
If you experience poor sound quality, your cell phone may be too far away from
the telephone base. To improve Bluetooth signal strength, place your cell phone
closer to the telephone base (within 15 feet) and make sure that there are no
physical obstacles between the telephone base and the cell phone, such as large
furniture or thick walls.

About the directory
The directory stores up to 200 entries with up to 30 digits for
each phone number and 15 characters for each name. You can
only use the handset to add, edit or delete directory entries.
Directory entries are shared by the telephone base and all
handsets on both home line and cell line. Any modifications
made on one handset apply to all.
When you access the directory without records, the screen
shows Directory empty.
When the directory is full and you try to save an entry, the
screen shows Directory full.
When you try to save an entry already stored in the directory,
the screen shows Number repeated.
When the telephone number in the directory exceeds 15
digits, a dash appears after the 14th digit, and the remaining
digits are then displayed beginning with a dash, alternately.
Only one system device can review the directory at a time.
When a system device tries to enter the directory while

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 50).
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 log
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service provider
and/or cell phone service provider, 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 system devices.
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
entered it into your directory.
The number shown in the caller ID log will be in the format sent by the telephone
service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit phone
numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the phone number of the caller does
not match a number in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the
telephone service provider.

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 flashes and XX new messages
displays on the handset and the telephone base, there are
new messages in the built-in answering system. To listen to
the messages recorded on your digital answering system,
tap on the telephone base. To listen to messages with a
handset, see To play messages on a handset on page 60.
If and New voicemail display on the handset and the telephone base,
your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you.
To listen to your voicemail, press and hold on your handset. See
Voicemail number on page 22 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.

Can the LS6191 help the poor cell phone reception in my house?
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the LS6191 cannot improve
the reception. However, if there is a location in your house with better reception,
you can leave your cell phone at that location while using the LS6191 cell line. In
order for this to work, the telephone base must be within 30 feet of the cell phone.
The listening volume of my cell call is too loud or quiet.
During a cell call, if the listening volume is to too loud or quiet, try changing the
volume on your cell phone. On some cell phones, changing the volume on the
cell phone affects your cell call volume on the LS6191 handset.

Troubleshooting
My telephone does not receive caller ID when on a call.
Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features from your telephone
service provider. Caller ID feature works only if both you and the caller are in
areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone service providers use
compatible equipment.
The messages on the answering system are incomplete.
If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system
disconnects the call after the preset message recording time.
If the caller pauses for too long, the system stops recording and disconnects
the call.
If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system stops
recording and disconnects the call.
If the caller’s voice is very soft, the system may stop recording and disconnect
the call.
The messages are very difficult to hear.
Tap VOL+ on the telephone base or press /VOLUME on the cordless handset
to increase the listening volume.
The answering system does not answer after the correct number of rings.
Make sure that the answering system is on. ANS ON should show on the
handset and the telephone base.
If toll saver is activated, the number of rings changes to two when you have new
messages stored (page 54).
If the memory is full or the system is off, the system will answer after 10 rings.
In some cases, the answering system is affected by the ringing system used by
your telephone service provider.
If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your
answering system answers before your voicemail answers. To determine how
many rings activate your voicemail, contact your telephone service provider.
If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting
the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine
documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.

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.
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.
•
•
•
•
•
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.

MISE EN GARDE : N’utilisez que la pile incluse.
Ne jetez pas la pile au feu. Vérifiez les instructions spécifiques de mise aux rebus aupr
è
s des
autorités locales.
N’ouvrez pas et ne mutilez pas la pile. L’électrolyte qui s’en échapperait est corrosif et pourrait causer
des brûlures ou des blessures aux yeux ou à la peau. L’électrolyte est toxique si avalé.
Soyez prudents lorsque vous manipulez les piles afin d’éviter les courts-circuits provoqués par des

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme
Les simulateurs cardiaques (s’applique uniquement aux téléphones numériques sans fil):
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche indépendante, a
mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les
stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et
drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins:
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance d’au moins six pouces du stimulateur cardiaque.
Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans
une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en marche.
Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se trouve dans la direction
opposée au stimulateur cardiaque.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs
cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent un téléphone sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
À propos des téléphones sans fil
Alimentation électrique: Les mêmes caractéristiques qui constituent des avantages pour les
téléphones sans fil affichent également des restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques sont transmis entre
le combiné sans fil et le socle par le biais d’ondes radio ; il y a donc la possibilité que vos conversations
téléphoniques sans fil soient interceptées par des équipements de réception radio se trouvant dans
la portée du combiné sans fil. Pour cette raison, vous ne devez pas percevoir les communications
téléphoniques sans fil comme étant aussi confidentielles.
Alimentation électrique: Le socle de ce téléphone sans fil doit être branché à une prise électrique
fonctionnelle. La prise électrique ne doit pas être contrôlée par un interrupteur mural. Les appels ne
pourront pas être effectués du combiné sans fil si le socle est débranché ou mis hors tension ou si le
courant est coupé.
Possibilité d’interférences aux téléviseurs: Certains téléphones sans fil fonctionnent sur des
fréquences pouvant causer des interférences aux téléviseurs et aux magnétoscopes. Pour réduire ou
prévenir de telles interférences, ne placez pas le socle du téléphone sans fil près ou sur un téléviseur
ou magnétoscope. S’il y a présence de parasites, il est conseillé d’éloigner le téléphone sans fil du
téléviseur ou du magnétoscope afin de réduire possiblement les interférences.
Piles rechargeables: Manipulez les piles avec soin afin de ne pas les court-circuiter avec des
bagues, bracelets ou clés. Les piles ou le conducteur peut surchauffer et causer des blessures.
Respectez la polarité adéquate entre la pile et le chargeur.
Les bloc-piles rechargeables à l’hydrure métallique de nickel: Jetez ces blocs-piles de manière
écologique et sécuritaire. Ne les incinérez pas et ne les percez pas. Tel que les autres piles de ce
type, elles pourraient dégager une matière toxique qui peut causer des blessures corporelles si elles
sont brûlées ou percées.

Limited warranty
What does this limited warranty cover?
The manufacturer of this VTech Product warrants to the holder of a valid proof of purchase
(“Consumer” or “you”) that the Product and all accessories provided in the sales package (“Product”)
are free from defects in material and workmanship, pursuant to the following terms and conditions,
when installed and used normally and in accordance with the Product operating instructions. This
limited warranty extends only to the Consumer for Products purchased and used in the United States
of America and Canada.
What will VTech do if the Product is not free from defects in materials and workmanship during
the limited warranty period (“Materially Defective Product”)?
During the limited warranty period, VTech’s authorized service representative will repair or replace at
VTech’s option, without charge, a Materially Defective Product. If we repair the Product, we may use
new or refurbished replacement parts. If we choose to replace the Product, we may replace it with a
new or refurbished Product of the same or similar design. We will retain defective parts, modules, or
equipment. Repair or replacement of the Product, at VTech’s option, is your exclusive remedy. VTech
will return the repaired or replacement Products to you in working condition. You should expect the
repair or replacement to take approximately 30 days.
How long is the limited warranty period?
The limited warranty period for the Product extends for ONE (1) YEAR from the date of purchase. If
VTech repairs or replaces a Materially Defective Product under the terms of this limited warranty, this
limited warranty also applies to the repaired or replacement Product for a period of either (a) 90 days
from the date the repaired or replacement Product is shipped to you or (b) the time remaining on the
original one-year warranty; whichever is longer.
What is not covered by this limited warranty?
This limited warranty does not cover:
Product that has been subjected to misuse, accident, shipping or other physical damage, improper
installation, abnormal operation or handling, neglect, inundation, fire, water or other liquid intrusion;
or
Product that has been damaged due to repair, alteration or modification by anyone other than an
authorized service representative of VTech; or
Product to the extent that the problem experienced is caused by signal conditions, network
reliability, or cable or antenna systems; or
Product to the extent that the problem is caused by use with non-VTech accessories; or
Product whose warranty/quality stickers, product serial number plates or electronic serial numbers
have been removed, altered or rendered illegible; or
Product purchased, used, serviced, or shipped for repair from outside the United States of America
or Canada, or used for commercial or institutional purposes (including but not limited to Products

Product(s) to the service location. VTech will return repaired or replaced Product under this limited
warranty. Transportation, delivery or handling charges are prepaid. VTech assumes no risk for damage

you authorize the cost of repair prior to any further repair activity. You must pay for the cost of repair and
return shipping costs for the repair of Products that are not covered by this limited warranty.

Other limitations
This warranty is the complete and exclusive agreement between you and VTech. It supersedes all
other written or oral communications related to this Product. VTech provides no other warranties for
this Product. The warranty exclusively describes all of VTech’s responsibilities regarding the Product.
There are no other express warranties. No one is authorized to make modifications to this limited
warranty and you should not rely on any such modification.
State/Provincial Law Rights: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights, which vary from state to state or province to province.
Limitations: Implied warranties, including those of fitness for a particular purpose and merchantability
(an unwritten warranty that the Product is fit for ordinary use) are limited to one year from the date of
purchase. Some states/provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitation may not apply to you. In no event shall VTech be liable for any indirect, special,
incidental, consequential, or similar damages (including, but not limited to lost profits or revenue,
inability to use the Product or other associated equipment, the cost of substitute equipment, and
claims by third parties) resulting from the use of this Product. Some states/provinces do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may
not apply to you.
Please retain your original sales receipt as proof of purchase.
