About Mailboxes

This answering system has three voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch tone
phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded by
pressing 1, 2, or 3 while the system plays the outgoing announcement. Otherwise,

messages will be recorded in Mailbox 1.

About Announcements

• You can record two different announcements - one for normal answering and one
for when you've set the system to play the announcement only.

• Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers' messages.
Use Announce only when you want to give information to callers without accepting
messages.

• If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with a
pre-recorded announcement.

• The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: "Hello. I'm unable to
answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and a message after
the tone." The Announce Only pre-recorded announcement says: "Hello, I'm
unable to answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you."

• By setting Announce Only to on or off, you decide which announcement
your callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set

for normal answering, with Announce Only turned off). See Set Announce

Only on page 26 to change your announcement selection.

Record Your Announcement

NOTE: If you have assigned different mailboxes to different people, be sure to

tell callers in your announcement to press 1, 2 or 3 to leave a message in the
appropriate mailbox. Remember to leave a few seconds blank at the end of
your recorded announcement to allow callers having enough time to select
a mailbox. An example of an announcement:

"Thank you for calling. To leave a message for Bob, press 1 now; to leave a
message for Sue, press 2 now; to leave a message for Elmo, press 3 now;

or, wait for the beep and leave your message."

approximately 15 minutes of messages, memos and announcements (up to a
maximum of 99 messages). A message or memo can be up to 4 minutes long.
If the system has less than 30 seconds of recording time left, it automatically turns
off. The system will still answer after 10 rings, announce "Memory full, please enter
your security code" and wait for the caller to enter the code to access remote

functions. (See Remote Access beginning on page 31 for details.)
When you have new messages or memos, the PLAY/STOP light for each mail-

box with new messages will flash.

VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH
Telecommunications Canada Ltd. at 1-800-267-7377.

The Phone Doesn’t W ork At All

• Make sure the Power Cord is plugged in.

• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the Base Unit and
the telephone wall jack.

• Make sure the battery is properly charged. If you get a LOW BATTERY mes-

sage or indication, the battery needs charging.

No Dial Tone

• First check all the suggestions above.

• If you still don’t hear a dial tone, disconnect the Base Unit from the telephone
jack and connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either,
the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone
company.

Y ou Get Noise, Static, Or A W eak Signal Even When Y ou are Near The
Base Unit

• Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the Base Unit can
sometimes cause interference. Try to move the appliance or the Base Unit to
another outlet.

Y ou Get Noise, Static, Or A W eak Signal When Y ou are A way From The
Base Unit

• You may be out of range. Either move closer to the Base, or relocate the Base
Unit.

• The layout of your home may be limiting the range. Try to move the Base Unit
to another position.

The Handset Does Not Ring When Y ou Receive A Call

• Make sure you have the ringers activated. Refer to the section(s) on Ringer
Volume and Answering System Feature Setup in this User's Manual.

• Make sure the telephone cord is plugged firmly into the Base Unit and the
telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

• You may be too far from the Base Unit.

• You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all
of them to ring. Try to unplug some of the other phones.

Y ou Hear Other Calls While Using Your Phone

• Disconnect your Base Unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular
telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring
or local service. Call your local telephone company.

on, the user is encouraged to try and 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.

the devices does not exceed five.

Before installing this equipment, user should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment
must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should
be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of
services in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the
user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of
the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are
connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution:

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact
the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
