The operation of medical appliances may be affected. Be aware of your environment and its technical conditions, such as those in a doctor's office.
Do not hold the reverse side of the handset to your ear if the handset is ringing
or if the handsfree function is switched on. Otherwise, you risk developing serious, permanent hearing damage.
The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base station in the bathroom. The handset and base station
are not splash proof (page 33).
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, such
as auto body paint shops.

SOS mode
Your Verizon V400AM is equipped with a special SOS function or SOS procedure. Use this
SOS function to request assistance in case of emergency. You can store up to four SOS
numbers.
SOS numbers can be stored in SOS/Direct Dialing key I. In the event of an emergency, you
only have to press Direct Dialing key I. The SOS procedure is initiated when you press this
key.
The SOS procedure automatically dials the first SOS number you entered. If this number is
busy or if the person called is not at home, the SOS procedure automatically dials the next
SOS number.3
To use the SOS procedure, you have to first program SOS/Direct Dialing key I and activate
SOS mode (page 20).
Version 4, 16.09.2005
When SOS mode is activated, the SOS LED lights up permanently on the SOS keys
i
of the handset and base station.

SOS mode
SOS procedure
The SOS procedure operates as described below.
Press the SOS/Direct Dialing key é of the base station and the device immediately
dials.
You must press and hold the SOS/Direct Dialing key é of the handset to immediately
launch the function.
If you just press the key briefly and don't hold it down, you must confirm with §Yes§ to prevent an emergency call from being initiated inadvertently.
Å
The first SOS number is dialed as soon as you press the SOS Direct Dialing key. At the same
time, the message "Emergency call being sent" is played back over the loudspeaker.
Å
If the SOS call is answered, the called party automatically hears the message "This is an
emergency call." Your name is then announced after this message. You must have pro-
grammed the SOS key accordingly for your name to be announced (see page 20). This is
followed by the message "To answer the emergency call, please press key 5." If the called
party now presses key 5, you can converse with one another.
Å
If the called party does not answer the call, for example, the called party is not at home
or his or her answer machine is on, the SOS procedure automatically dials the next SOS
number. In the following cases, the SOS procedure automatically calls the next SOS
number after 60 seconds:
u The call is not answered
u The answer machine for the selected SOS number is on
u The SOS number is busy
Å
The procedure is repeated at most four times. If none of the calls is answered, the SOS
procedure is ended with an error tone.
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Recipients of the emergency call must have set their telephones to tone dialing, otherwise
confirmation of the SOS call with key 5 will not be recognized.
– During the entire procedure, all SOS keys flash on all registered handsets and on
the base station. The message "Emergency call being sent" is displayed on the
handset that initiated the emergency call.
– If an internal call is also programmed, the SOS call can also be answered by an
internal user. The text "Emergency call" is displayed on all registered handsets and
i

the base station.
– You should perform a test run of the SOS procedure to ensure that SOS mode is
programmed correctly. The police, emergency services, or fire department must
not be used for a test run.
– Please note that the standby time of the handset will be reduced when SOS mode
is activated.
– The SOS LED lights up permanently when SOS mode is activated.

ECO DECT – What does it mean?
ECO DECT reduces power consumption
by using a power supply with low power
consumption and also reduces the transmission power of the base station when
only one handset is registered on the
base station.
Also, your handset automatically reduces
transmitting power depending on its distance to the base station (close-up
range).
First steps
Pack contents
The product includes one Verizon
V400AM base station, one handset, one
power adapter, one telephone cable, two
batteries, one battery cover, one belt clip,

Setting up the handset for use
Inserting the batteries and closing the cover
Caution:
Use only rechargeable UL approved AAA
batteries. Never use conventional (nonrechargeable) batteries or other battery types
as this may cause significant damage to health
and property. For example, the outer casing of
the batteries could be destroyed or the batteries could explode. The phone could also
malfunction or be damaged as a result of using
batteries that are not of the recommended
type.
¤ Insert the batteries according to the
correct polarity (see diagram).
The polarity is indicated in the battery
compartment.
Version 4, 16.09.2005
¤ First align the notches on the side of
the battery cover with the lugs on the
inside of the casing.
¤ Then press the cover so that it clicks
into place.
10
Verizon V400 / us-en / A31008-M1805-B101-1-xx19 / starting.fm / 31.01.2008
First steps
Attaching the belt clip
There are notches for attaching the belt
clip on the side of the handset at the same
height as the display.
¤ Press the belt clip onto the back of the
handset so that the protrusions on the
belt clip engage the notches.
You can also attach a cord for carrying the
handset in your hand or wearing it around
your neck.
Opening the battery cover
¤ Remove the belt clip, if necessary.
¤ Reach into the housing cavity and pull
the battery cover upwards.
You will hear a confirmation tone.
Automatic registration can take up to 5
minutes. While registration is in progress
the screen displays Registering . The handset will be assigned the lowest unassigned
internal number (1–4). If several handsets
are registered to the base, the internal
number is shown on the screen after registration (for example, 2). This means that
the handset has been assigned the internal number 2.
Notes:
– Automatic registration is only possible
when the base station you want to register
the handset to is not being used to make a
call.
– Pressing a key cancels automatic registra-
tion.
– If four handsets are already registered to
the base station, there are two options:
– The handset with the internal number 4
is put on idle status: the handset you
want to register is assigned the number
4. The handset that was previously
number 4 is de-registered.
– The handset with internal number 4 is in
use: the handset you want to register
cannot be registered.
– If automatic registration does not work, the
handset must be registered manually
(page 27).
Version 4, 16.09.2005
Placing the handset into the base station and registering
Important: the handset must not already
be registered to any base station.
Registering the handset to the Verizon
V400AM base station occurs
automatically.
¤ Place the handset in the charging cra-
dle of the base station with its screen
facing forward.
¤ To charge the batteries, leave the hand-
set in the charging cradle of the base
station.
Notes:
– The handset must only be placed in the
base/charging cradle provided for it.
– If the handset switches off because its bat-
teries are dead, it will automatically switch
on again when it is placed into the base station.
For questions and troubleshooting, see
page 33.

Verizon V400 / us-en / A31008-M1805-B101-1-xx19 / starting.fm / 31.01.2008
First steps
Initial charging and discharging of batteries
Battery charging is indicated in the upper
right corner of the display by a flashing
battery icon e, V, or U. During
handset operation, the battery icon indicates the charge status of the batteries
(page 2).
The correct charge status can only be displayed after the batteries have first been
fully charged and then discharged
through use.
¤ To do this, leave the handset in the
base without interruption until the battery icon stops flashing on the screen
(approx. 6hrs).
¤ Once the batteries have fully charged,
remove the handset from the charging
cradle and do not put it back again until
the batteries have fully discharged.
Note:
After the first battery charge and discharge
cycle, you can place your handset in its base
after every call.
Please remember:
u Always repeat the charging and dis-
charging procedure if you remove the
batteries from the handset and reinsert
them.
u The batteries may warm up as they are
charging. This is not dangerous.
u For technical reasons, the charge
capacity of the batteries will decrease
after a certain period of time.
Note:
The appendix contains explanations of the
symbols and typographical conventions used
in this user guide (see page 33).
