In Case Of Difficulty
If you have difficulties in operating your phone, the suggestions below should
solve the problem. If you still have difficulties after trying these suggestions, call
VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH
Telecommunications Canada Ltd. at 1-800-267-7377.
The Phone Doesn’t Work 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 cells are properly charged. If you get a LOW BATTERY
message or indication, the battery cells need 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.
You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak Signal Even When You 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.
You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak Signal When You are Away 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 You 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.
You 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.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
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 Part 15
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed 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

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.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet or on a circuit different from that to which

FCC Part 68 and ACTA
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July 23,
2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68 rules
and with Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone
Network adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We

preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For
equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US”
and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a
decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For
example, the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN
of 0.3. The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to
your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not
all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. You may want to
contact your local telephone company for more information.
2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network

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.
Your Cordless Phone is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by
the FCC and IC. This means your Handset and Base Unit can communicate only
