or oor mount

position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an under the table/cabinet outlet.

Installation

Telephone base installation

It is recommended to install the telephone base away from any electronic equipment and appliances such as personal computers, computer routers, television sets, microwave ovens, and refrigerators. Avoid excessive heat, cold, dust or moisture. When a location is selected, install the telephone base and the charger as shown below.

• Plug the connector into the power jack at the bottom of the telephone base and 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 slot, then plug the other end of the cord into the modular wall telephone outlet.

Installation

Install handset battery

• 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.

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

• Position the battery compartment cover and slide it towards the unit until it clicks into place.

• For optimal performance, we recommend that you charge the handset for 16 hours.

You can keep the batter y charged by retur ning the handset to the telephone base after each use. When the battery power is fully depleted, a full recharge takes about 16 hours.

• If the handset will not be used for a prolonged period, remove the battery to prevent possible leakage.

• After you install the battery, there may be enough power for shor t calls.

Belt clip & headset (optional)

• To purchase a headset, visit us on the web at www.vtechphones. com or call VTech Customer Service at 1 (800) 595 -

9511. In Canada, go to www. vtechcanada.com. or call 1 (800) 267-

• Whenever a compatible headset is connec ted to the cordless handset, the microphone on the handset will be muted. This reduces background noise and improves the sound quality.

• If the sound quality of the headset is poor, try unplugging it, and

rmly plugging it in

again.

For hands-free telephone conversations, use any industry standard 2.5mm headset (purchased separately). For best results, use a VTech 2.5mm headset.

Plug the 2.5 mm headset into the jack on the side of

the handset (beneath the small rubber ap).

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 ser vice, or

• you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try these ser vices.

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 ser vice, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

Voicemail service

If you subscribe to voicemail service provided by your telephone company, you can receive voicemail left by the caller. When you have new voicemail, the handset will display NEW VOICE MAIL .

About cordless telephones

• Privacy: the same featur es that make a cordless tele phone conve nient create some lim itations. Telephone calls are tra nsmitte d between the bas e and the cordle ss handset by radio waves, so

there is a po ssibili ty that your cordle ss teleph one conversation s could be in tercepted by radio re ceiving equipm ent withi n range of th e cordles s handset. For this re ason, you sh ould not think of cordle ss telephone conve rsation s as being as private as t hose on cor ded telephones.

• Electric al Power: The telepho ne base of this c ordless telepho ne must be con nected to a wor king electrica l outlet. Th e elect rical out let should not be contr olled by a wall sw itch. Call s cannot

be made fro m the cord less hand set if the telephon e base is unp lugged or switche d off, or if the e lectrical power i s interrupted.

• Potential TV Interfe rence: Some cordles s telephones o perate at frequ encies that may cause i nterfer ence to televisions an d VCRs. To min imize or prevent such in terfere nce, do not place

the teleph one base of the cordless te lephone n ear or on top of a TV or VCR. If inter ference is experien ced, moving the cordl ess teleph one father away from the TV or VCR will of ten reduce or eliminat e the inter ference. (Applies t o 25 channe l cordle ss teleph ones only).

• Rechargeable B atteries: Th is prod uct co ntains e ither Ni ckel-Cadmium or Nickel-Met al Hydri de rechargeab le batte ries. E xercise care in handling batte ries in order n ot to short th e batter y
