• Use only the VTech battery and AC power adapter supplied with this telephone.

• This power unit is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical

or oor mount

position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an under the table/cabinet outlet.

Installation

Plug power adapt er into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

Plug the telephone line cord into a telephone jack.

Telephone base installation

It is recommended to install the telephone base away from any electronic equipment and appliances such as personal computers, computer routers, television sets, microwave ovens, and refrigerators. Avoid excessive heat, cold, dust or moisture. When a location is selected, install the telephone base and the charger as shown below.

• Plug the connector into the power jack at the bottom of the telephone base and chargers. Route cords

through slots and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

• Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the telephone line jack at the bottom of the telephone

base. Route the telephone line cord through slot, then plug the other end of the cord into the modular wall telephone outlet.

Your telephone base comes with the bracket installed ready for desktop use. If you prefer to mount your telephone on the wall, plug in the telephone line cord and the power adapter to the telephone base as instructed above before changing it to a wall mount position (see page 7 for bracket installation).

www.vtechphones.com

Installation

Basic operation

• If the handset will not be used for a prolonged period, remove the battery to prevent possible leakage.

• After you install the battery, there may be enough power for short calls.

Installation

Install handset battery

• Align the two holes of the battery plug with the socket pins in the handset battery compartment, matching the red and black wires to the color-coded label.

• Place the battery in the compartment with the wires in the upper left corner.

• Position the battery compartment cover and slide it towards the unit until it clicks into place.

• For optimal performance, we recommend that you charge the handset for 16 hours.

You can keep the battery charged by returning the handset to the telephone base after each use. When the battery power is fully depleted, a full recharge takes about 16 hours.

www.vtechphones.com

Installation

Belt clip & headset (optional)

For hands-free telephone conversations, use any industry standard 2.5mm headset (purchased separately). For best results, use a VTech 2.5mm headset.

• To purchase a headset, visit us on the web at www.vtechphones. com or call VTech Customer Service at 1 (800) 595-

9511. In Canada, go to www. vtechcanada.com. or call 1 (800) 267-

7377.

• Whenever a compatible headset is connected to the cordless handset, the microphone on the handset will be muted. This reduces background noise and improves the sound quality.

• If the sound quality of the headset is poor, try unplugging it, and

rmly plugging it in

again.

Belt clip

Align the pins on the inside edge of the clip with the notches on the sides of the handset.

Headset

Plug the 2.5 mm headset into the jack on the side of

the handset (beneath the small rubber ap).

About caller ID

The caller ID with call waiting feature in this telephone let you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even when you’re already on a call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company.

Contact your telephone company if:

• you have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service),

• you have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service, or

• you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try these services.

You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and these services may not be available in all areas.

The caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

www.vtechphones.com

If you subscribe to DSL service

If there is interference during telephone conversations and/or your caller ID features are not functioning

properly, install a DSL lter to the telephone line between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. To obtain a DSL lter and more information about DSL interference, contact your DSL service

provider.

There is noise or interference during a telephone conversation.

My calls fade out or cut in and out when I am using the cordless handset.

The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base

can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet. Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing

your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, wireless routers, and other cordless telephones.

Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone. It is normal to experience static on your telephone while the microwave oven is operating. Do not install this telephone in the same outlet or near a microwave oven.

If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.

The layout of your home or ofce might be limiting the operating range. Trying moving the

telephone base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception. Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls

are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local service company (charges may apply).

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).

FCC, ACTA and IC regulations

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 modications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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. If you choose to use a clipping device, please make sure to only use the supplied VTech belt clip.

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 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 identier (e.g., if ## is 03, the REN is 0.3). In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be ve (5.0) or less. For more

information, please contact your local telephone company.
