Vtech 9030 User Manual
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased
one of the most sophisticated cordless
telephones on the market! The SBC9030
has been designed to offer a new
standard in cordless telephone
technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones,
the SBC9030 digitizes your voice using
advanced 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 SBC9030 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 SBC9030 decodes and displays
name and number Caller ID (CID)
information where available and when
subscribed to. The alpha-numeric
display will show both the name and
number of the calling party (when
available). Up to 15 name characters
and/or 11 phone number digits can be
displayed on the LCD.
addition, the Intercom feature allows twoway communication between the
Handset and Base Unit. Pressing
INTERCOM on the Base can also assist
you in locating a misplaced Handset.
The SBC9030 uses special memory
in both the Base Unit and Handset which
is not susceptible to power failures. This
provides permanent storage of all speed
dial numbers, CID information as well as
the Base Unit and Handset security
codes.
When a spare battery(not included) is
installed in the Base Unit, the SBC9030
uses this battery 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
4 hours backup will be possible with a
fully charged battery in the Base Unit.
The phone will also alert you when
you are Out of Range even when you're
not using the phone!
With the SBC9030, the user can easily
answer a call by pressing any key other
than the OFF, VOLUME keys or 3 PPU
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 environment.
The SBC9030 includes a
Speakerphone and keypad on the Base
Unit. This enables you to make and
receive calls hands-free at the Base. In

INST ALLING THE BA TTER Y P A CK
The Handset of your SBC9030 is
powered by a rechargeable battery pack.
It charges automatically whenever the
Handset is in the Base Unit. 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 low battery message is displayed:
• The Handset seems completely dead,
the LCD is completely clear and does
not activate when you press the
keys.
TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
PACK
To charge the battery pack, place the
Handset in the Base Unit. The
CHARGING 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.
Afterwards, 8 hours of maintenance
charging should be sufficient. 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 7 hours of continuous talk time or 14
days of stand by.
Alternatively, if a 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
Unit charger. Place the drained Handset
battery pack into the Base Unit charger
so that it will charge.
The Base Unit spare battery charger
does NOT charge a battery pack as
quickly as the main Handset battery
charger. A full charge requires 24 hours.
A WORD ABOUT
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
Your Ni-Cd battery pack recharges
whenever the Handset is returned to the
Base Unit.
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 8 hours of charging in
the Base Unit cradle (or 24 hours in the
Base Unit spare battery charger), the
battery pack(s) should be replaced.
To purchase replacement battery
packs, call Customer Service at
800-667-2118.
