INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased
one of the most sophisticated cordless
telephones on the market! The Sprint
cordless phone has been designed to
offer a new standard in cordless
telephone technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones, the
Sprint cordless phone digitizes your
voice using advanced ADPCM digital
voice coding to provide noise and
distortion free performance. In most
conditions you will not be able to tell
you are using a cordless phone. Gone
are the annoyances of static,
interference and having to listen to
other people's conversations on your
cordless phone.
The Sprint cordless phone scrambles
your voice before it transmits it. This
allows you the security of knowing that
no one can tune in and eavesdrop on
your conversations.
The Sprint cordless phone decodes
and displays name and/or number
Caller ID (CID) information where
available and when subscribed to. The
alpha-numeric display can show both
the name and number of the calling
party. Up to 24 name characters or 11
phone number digits can be displayed
on the LCD.
With the Sprint cordless phone, the
user can easily answer a call by
pressing any key other than the OFF,
MUTE or VOLUME Keys. In addition,
the Handset keypad and LCD illuminate
while the Handset rings to signal an
incoming call. This is very useful in a
dark enviroment. The Sprint cordless
phone also provides a one-way Page/
Find. Pressing the Base PAGE key will
cause the Handset to ring in a manner
which distinguishes it from normal
incoming ringing. This can be used to
alert the Handset user, or to simply
locate the Handset in the event that it
is misplaced.
The Sprint cordless phone uses
special memory in both the Base and
Handset which is not susceptible to
power failures. This provides
permanent storage of all memory dial
numbers, CID information as well as
the Base and Handset security codes.
When a battery pack is installed in the
Base unit, the Sprint cordless phone
uses this battery pack to provide
operational backup in case of power
failure. In this way you have access
to all normal phone functions during a
total power outage. Calls can still be
placed and received without
interruption. More than 5 hours backup
will be possible with a fully charged
battery pack in the Base unit.
The Sprint cordless phone informs
you that another extension is currently
in use on the same phone line. The
phone will also alert you when you are
Out of Range, even when you're not
using the phone!

FCC REGULATIONS
FCC Part 68
The FCC requires that you connect
your cordless telephone to the
nationwide telephone network through
a modular telephone jack (USOC
RJ11C, RJ11W or RJ14).
Your telephone company may
discontinue your service if your
equipment causes harm to the
telephone network. They will notify
you in advance of disconnection, if
possible. During notification, you will
be informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.
Occasionally, your telephone company
may make changes in its facilities,

Limited Warranty.
This equipment may not be used on
coin service provided by the phone
company or Party Lines.
The REN is useful in determining the
number of devices you may connect
to your telephone line and still enable
the devices to ring when you receive
a call. The general rule is that the REN
value should not exceed 5.0 total;
however, contact your local telephone
company for the specific number in
your area.

REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
CHARGING THE HANDSET
BATTERY PACK
The Handset of your Sprint cordless
phone is powered by a rechargeable
battery pack. It charges automatically
whenever the Handset is in the Base.
You should charge the battery pack for
16 hours when you first receive your
phone. You'll know the battery pack
needs charging when:
• The phone emits a warning tone
when you press the PHONE key.
• The low battery message is
displayed:
• The Handset seems completely
dead, the LCD is clear and the
Handset does not beep when you
press the keys.
TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
To charge the battery pack, place the
Handset in the Base Unit. The CHARGE
indicator will light to show the Handset
is seated properly and the battery pack
is charging. It is recommended that the
battery pack be charged for at least 16
hours initially and 8 hours for
maintenance charging. You can use
your telephone before that with
diminished capacity, but it is best to
charge the battery pack fully. It will take
several recharge cycles to maximize
the charge capacity of your battery
pack. The maximum battery life
between charges is 6 hours of
continuous talk time or 6 days of
stand by.
Alternatively, if your spare battery pack
has been charging in the Base Unit,
simply exchange the drained Handset
battery pack with the fully charged
replacement battery pack from the
Base charger. Place the drained
Handset battery pack into the Base
charger to recharge.
The Base spare battery charger does
NOT charge a battery pack as quickly
as the Handset battery charger. A full
charge requires 24 hours when using
the spare battery charger.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERCHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack can be recharged
many times, but if you get a low-battery
signal even after 16 hours of charging
in the Base cradle (or 24 hours in the
Base spare battery charger), the battery
pack(s) should be replaced.
To purchase replacement battery
packs, call VTech Communications
at 1-800-595-9511.
A WORD ABOUT RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES

to other, non-Sprint supplied Headsets,
but Sprint assumes no responsibility
for their performance.

MAINTENANCE
TAKING CARE OF YOUR TELEPHONE
Your Sprint 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 your Base
Unit near a sink, bathtub or shower.
ELECTRICAL STORMS
Electrical storms can sometimes cause
power surges harmful to electronic
equipment.
For your own safety, use 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 your Base Unit should fall
into 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.
26
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you have difficulty operating your
phone, the suggestions below should
solve the problem. If you still have
difficulty after trying these suggestions,
call Sprint National Help Desk at
1-800-949-4357.
The Phone Doesn't Work At All
• Make sure the Power Cord is
plugged
• Make sure the telephone line cord
is plugged firmly into the Base Unit
and the telephone wall jack.
• Make sure the batteries are properly
charged. If the 'LOW BATTERY'
message is shown, the battery
pack needs charging.
No DIial Tone
• First check all the suggestions
above.
• If you still don't hear a dial tone,
disconnect the Base Unit from the
telephone jack and connect a
different phone. If there is no dial
tone on that phone either, the
problem is in your wiring or local
service. Call your local telephone
company.
You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak
Signal Even When You're Near
The Base Unit
• Household appliances plugged into
the same circuit as the Base Unit
can sometimes cause interference.
Try moving the appliance or the
Base Unit to another outlet.
You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak
Signal When You're Away From
The Base Unit
• You may be out of range. Either
move close to the Base, or relocate
the Base Unit.
• The layout of your home may be
limiting the range. Try moving the
Base Unit to another position.
The Handset Does Not Ring
When You Receive A Call
• Make sure you have the Handset
ringer activated. To set the ringer,
see "PROGRAMMING THE
RINGER".
• Make sure the telephone line cord
is plugged firmly into the Base Unit
and the telephone jack. Make sure
the power cord is plugged in.
• You may be too far from the Base
Unit.
• You may have too many extension
phones on your telephone line to
allow all of them to ring. Try
unplugging some of the other
phones.
You Hear Other Calls While
Using Your Phone
• Disconnect your Base Unit from the
telephone jack, and plug in a
regular telephone. If you still hear
other calls, the problem is probably
in your wiring or local service. Call
your local telephone company.
You Hear Noise In The Handset,
And None Of The Keys Or
Buttons Work
• Make sure the power cord is
plugged in.
27
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
Common Cure For Electronic
Equipment
Electronics, like people, can sometimes
get confused. If the unit does not seem
to be responding normally, then try
putting the Handset in the cradle. If it
does not seem to respond after trying
this a few times, do the following (in
the order listed):
1. Disconnect the power to the Base.
2. Disconnect (remove) the Handset
battery pack.
3. Remove the base unit battery pack
where applicable.
4. Walt a few minutes.
5. Connect power to the Base.
6. Install the handset battery pack.
7. Install the base unit battery pack
where applicable.
8. Place the handset in the base unit
cradle. If the handset has not been
recently charged, allow 8 hours
before use.
