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.

Your telephone base comes with the bracket installed for desktop use. If you prefer to mount your telephone on the wall, plug in the telephone line cord and the power adapter to the telephone base as instructed above before changing it to a wall mount position (see page 7 for bracket installation).

Plug the telephone line cord into a telephone jack.

Telephone base installation

Plug power adapter into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

• Use only the AC

power adapter supplied with this telephone.

• This power unit is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical

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.

Basic operation

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 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.

• 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 short calls.

Installation

Belt clip & headset (optional)

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

• 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) 267-7377.

• Whenever a compatible headset is connected 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.

Belt clip

Align the pins on the inside edge of the clip with the notches on the sides of the handset.

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 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.

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 .

Page 11

www.vtechphones.com

If you subscribe to DSL service

If there is interference during telephone conversations and/or your caller ID features are not functioning

properly, install a DSL lter to the telephone line between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. To obtain a DSL lter and more information about DSL interference, contact your DSL service

provider.

Installation

• Most DSL providers recommend installing a DSL

lter in every

telephone jack. Your DSL service provider may provide more information regarding telephone interference.

Troubleshooting

Problem Suggestion

My telephone does not work at all.

Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (see pages 5 and 38). For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the telephone base after use.

Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged rmly into the telephone base and the modular

wall jack. Unplug the unit’s electrical power. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in.

Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and base to synchronize. Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to purchase

a new battery. Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a working telephone. If this

telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the local service. Call the local telephone company.

•

Low Battery is displayed on screen.

Place the handset in the telephone base or charger for recharging. Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally until fully discharged, then recharge the

handset on the telephone base or charger for 16 hours. If the above measures do not correct the problem, the battery may need to be replaced.

Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range. The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and connect a different telephone.

If there is no dial tone on the telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company.

•

The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.

Make sure the ringer is on. (See page 12 for handset and page 28 for telephone base). Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (see page 4). The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone

base. There may be too many extension phones on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring

simultaneously. Try unplugging some of them. If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring

or local service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply). Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your

telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.

The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.

Test a working telephone at the telephone jack. If another telephone has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone jack. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord. Re-install the battery and place the cordless handset in the telephone base. Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute

for this to take place.

•

I cannot dial out. First, try all the above suggestions.

Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the cordless handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.

Makes sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in your area. Refer to the Dial type section of this user’s manual (page 13) to set the dial mode.

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances may cause

the telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, rst try

muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background noise.

Problem Suggestion

There is noise or interference during a telephone conversation.

My calls fade out or cut in and out when I am using the cordless handset.

The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base

can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet. Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing

your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, wireless routers, and other cordless telephones.

Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone. It is normal to experience static on your telephone while the microwave oven is operating. Do not install this telephone in the same outlet or near a microwave oven.

If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.

The layout of your home or ofce might be limiting the operating range. Trying moving the

telephone base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception. Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls

are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local service company (charges may apply).

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).

Do you have DSL service? If yes, you need to have a DSL lter installed at every telephone jack that has a telephone connected to it. Contact your DSL service provider for lter information.
