VTECH 914 ADLi
. To get
the most use out of your
VTECH 914
ADLi
, we strongly recommend you
read the manual before using your

Congratulations! Y ou have purchased
one of the best performing cordless
telephones on the market! The
VTECH
914 ADLi
is a single line 900 MHz
cordless phone.
The
VTECH 914 ADLi
has automatic
security code reset. This means that
one of more than 65 thousand possible
digital security codes is randomly
selected every time the handset is
placed in the base unit. The handset
and base unit will recognize each other
based on this security code which
minimizes the chances of another
cordless phone using your telephone
line. The base unit stores the current
security code and channel in memory
even if the unit is unplugged.
The VTECH 914 ADLi base unit
includes an Integrated Telephone
Answering Device (ITAD). The ITAD
uses digital memory to record
messages, eliminating the need for
cassette tapes. You can access your
messages from the base unit, or from
a remote location. All programming
and remote operation functions are
guided by a voice menu system.
Other special features are:
• 10 Number Speed Dial Memory
• 10 Channels of operation
• Automatic Search for Available
Channel
• Manual Channel Change on
Handset
• PAGE from Base to Handset

Your phone requires a modular
telephone jack and a standard
electrical outlet (120v AC). The
power cord is six feet long; make

within reach of the base. The
outlet should not be controlled by
a wall switch. If the switch is ever
turned off, the phone will not
operate.
2. Position the wall mount adapter
on the base. Line up the tabs on
the wall mount adapter with the
holes on the bottom of the base.
Snap the wall mount adapter firmly
in place.
