To purchase replacement batteries or power adapters, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com or call 1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada, go to www.vtechcanada.com or call 1 (800) 267-7377.
Install the telephone base and charger(s) as shown below.
If you subscribe to digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed Internet service through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

•Use only the power adapters supplied with this product. To order a replacement, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com or call
1(800) 595-9511. In Canada, go to www.vtechcanada.com or dial
1(800) 267-7377.
•The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
Getting started
Install the battery as shown below.
1.Plug the battery connector securely into the socket inside the handset battery compartment.
2.Place the battery with the label THIS SIDE UP facing up and the wires inside the battery compartment.
3.Align the cover flat against the battery compartment, then slide it towards the center of the handset until it clicks into place.
4.Charge the handset by placing it in the telephone base or charger. The CHARGE light is on when the handset is charging.

•If the handset will not be used for a long time, disconnect and remove the battery to prevent possible leakage.
•To purchase replacement batteries, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com or call 1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada, go to www.vtechcanada.com or dial 1 (800) 267-7377.
Getting started
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the telephone base or charger to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone base or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 10 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 50 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset plays four short beeps and shows LOW BATTERY along with a flashing icon. When you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset plays four short beeps every 50 seconds.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.

Getting started
The telephone comes ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your telephone on a wall, use the provided wall mount bracket to connect with a standard dual-stud telephone wall mount plate. If you do not have this wall mount plate, you can purchase one from many hardware or consumer electronics retailers. You may need a professional to install the wall mount plate.
Tabletop to wall mount installation
1.Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the bottom of the telephone base. Plug the small end of the base power adapter into the POWER jack on the bottom of the telephone base.
2.Position the telephone base against the wall mount bracket. Insert the extend tabs (marked B) of the wall mount bracket into the slots (marked B) on the back of the telephone base. Push the telephone base down until it clicks securely in place.
3.Route the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) through the hole in the middle of the wall mount bracket and plug it into the telephone wall jack. Route the power cord out of the bottom of the telephone and plug it into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
4.Align the holes on the bracket with the standard wall mount plate and slide the bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the telephone line cord and power adapter cord neatly with twist ties.

Clear voicemail indicators
If you subscribe to voicemail service offered by your telephone service provider, NEW VOICEMAIL and appear on the handset when you have new voicemail messages. Contact your telephone service provider for more information about using your voicemail service.
After you have listened to all new voicemail messages, the indicators on the handset turn off automatically.
Use this feature when the telephone indicates that there is new voicemail but there are none (for example, when you have accessed your voicemail while away from home). This feature only turns off the indicators; it does not delete your voicemail messages. As long as you have new voicemail messages, your
telephone service provider continues to send the signal to turn on the indicators.
