Installation

Install the telephone base as shown below. Make sure that the electrical outlet is not controlled by a wall switch. If you subscribe to high-speed internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through

your telephone lines, you must have a DSL lter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The lter will prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL lters.

Plug the bigger power adapter into the power jack at the bottom of the telephone base and the smaller power adapters into the 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 the slot, then plug the other end of the cord into a telephone wall jack.

Install handset battery

1. 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, then snap the plug securely into place.

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

3. Position the battery compartment cover and slide it up 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. When the battery is fully charged, it provides approximately eight hours of talk time or four days of standly time.

• If the handset will not be used for a long period of 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 call 1 (800) 267-7377.

About caller ID

The caller ID with call waiting feature in this telephone lets 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.

Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless telephone c ontains sophisticated electronic par ts, so it must be treated with care.

Avoid rough treatment

Place the handset down gently. Save the original pac king materials to prote ct your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the hand set outdoor in the r ain, or han dle it with wet hands. Do not install the tele phone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical stor ms can sometimes cause power surg es harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical 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 the telephone base should fall into the 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.

About cordless telephones

Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and

the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordles s telephone conversations as being as private a s those on corded telephones.

Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled

by a wall switch. Calls cann ot be made from the cordless han dset if t he telephone base is unplugg ed or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.

Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent

such inter ference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone far ther away from the TV or VCR will often reduc e or eliminate the inter ference.

Rechargeable batteries: This product contains either nickel- cadmium or nickel-metal hydr ide rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in

order not to create a short circuit with conduc ting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The batter y or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.

Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batter ies in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned

or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cau se injury.
