Caller ID

Caller ID - call waiting ID

Your phone is capable of displaying the number of the calling party before you answer the phone (caller ID or CID). If the number is already in the directory, the name of the caller will also be displayed. It is also capable of displaying CID information in conjunction with a call waiting alert signal (call waiting caller ID). With call waiting caller ID, the CID data is displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue with your current conversation. Your phone can hold up to 50 CID entries.

NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service providers. You must subscribe to these services to

get the benets of these features. If you do not subscribe to CID services, you can still use your

phone and the other features it offers. Due to regional incompatibilities, CID information may not be available for every incoming call. In

addition, the calling parties may intentionally block their name and/or phone number from being sent.

• As new CID/call waiting ID records are received, your handset displays will alert you to the new CID records, for example:

• After you review all new CID records, the

NEW call indicator will be

turned off and the screen will show:

• If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be in the caller ID log.

• Press

OFF

any time to exit caller ID log.

• The

I cannot dial out. • Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The handset may take a second or two to nd

the base and produce a dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.

• Make sure your phone is set to the correct dial mode for the type of service that you have (pulse or touch tone). Refer to the

Installation section of this user’s manual to set the dial mode.

• If the other phones in your home are having the issue, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company.

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

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

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

UNABLE TO CALL TRY AGAIN displays

on my handset.

• Only two handsets of your phone system can be in use (off hook) at a time. For example, if HS1 and HS2 are on a call and HS3 presses TALK, UNABLE TO CALL TRY AGAIN will display. Be sure only two handsets are in use at a time.

• Move the handset closer to the base. You might have moved out of range.

• If the handset is in its base and the charging light does not light, refer to the

• Reset the base. Unplug the unit’s electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the handset and base to reset.

• Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away from these types of electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones.

I get noise, static, or weak signal even when I’m near the base.

• Other cordless phones and 802.11 wireless routers that are used for home computer networks both use internal radios to communicate. The radios may interfere with one another. You can improve the performance of your cordless phones and your router by:

a. positioning your new phone as far away as possible from any other existing cordless telephone

system that is already installed in your home to avoid the two systems interfering with each other.

b. positioning your telephone base as far as possible from your router, computer or any other

computer devices.

c. selecting channels four through 10 for your router (refer to your router’s user manual for

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.

Avoid rough treatment

Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your base unit near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, use caution when using electric 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 your base unit should fall into 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.

FCC, ACTA and IC regulations

FCC Part 15

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a Class B digital device under Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These requirements are intended to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

* Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. * Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. * Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. * Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according to the intended usage of the product. This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC criteria. The handset may be safely held against the ear of the user. The base unit shall be installed and used such that parts of the user’s body other than the hands are maintained at a distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches) or more. If you choose to use a clipping device, please make sure to only use the supplied VTech belt clip.

FCC Part 68 and ACTA

encoded as the 6th and 7th characters following the US: in the product identier (e.g., if ## is 03, the REN is 0.3). In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be ve (5.0) or less. For more

information, please contact your local telephone company.

This equipment may not be used with Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not disable your

alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualied installer.

If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the Limited Warranty.
