Telephone base installation

If you have a 2-line wall jack, install the telephone base as shown in

Figure One: Installation with 2-line jack on below.

If you have separate wall jacks for each line, install the telephone base as shown in Figure Two: Installation with separate line jacks on page 3.

Make sure that the electrical outlet is not controlled by a wall switch.

If you subscribe to digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed Internet service through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between each telephone line cord and telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

•To purchase a replacement battery, 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

Battery charging

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 to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the

telephone base when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 71 for battery operating times.

If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for at least 10 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for a short time. The handset beeps and shows Low battery. If you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset beeps every minute.

The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.
