Getting Started
Setup
Charging of the Handset Battery Pack
The handset of your cordless telephone is powered by a rechargeable battery
pack. It charges automatically whenever handset is in its charger.
You should charge the batteries for 10-12 hours when you first receive
your phone. You will know the battery pack needs
charging when:
• The low battery message is displayed:
• The handset seems completely dead, the LCD is
completely clear and does not activate when you
press the keys.
NOTE: While in PLACE IN CHARGER (low battery) mode, the keypad sounds, backlighting and speakerphone features will
not work. When the battery has been charged, the features will return to their
normal function.
IMPORTANT:
1. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire, it might explode.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Toxic substances may be released,
causing harm to eyes or skin.
3. Exercise care in handling batteries in order to prevent an accidental short of
the charge contacts, potentially causing the batteries to overheat.
Installation of Battery Pack in Handset
Follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery compartment
cover by pressing on the indentation
and sliding downward. Place the new
battery pack in the handset with the
positive and negative poles aligned in
the battery compartment.
2. Replace the battery cover by sliding it
upwards.
3. If the new battery pack is not already
charged, place the handset in its
charger, and allow it to charge for
10-12 hours. After initial charge, a
maintenance charge of 8 hours should
be sufficient.
Connecting power to Base Unit/Handset Charger
1. Plug the power adapter into an electrical
outlet, and the connector into the connector jack at the bottom of the base unit.
2. Choose the location for your handset charger,
and plug its power supply into an electrical
outlet.

Setup
IMPORTAN T! MAXIMUM PERFOR-
MANCE OF YOUR CORDLESS TELEPHONE SYSTEM:
1. Install your base unit and extension
handsets away from electronic equipment, such as personal computers,
television sets and microwave ovens.
2. In locations where there are multiple
cordless telephones, separate the
base units as far away as possible.
3. Install your telephone equipment away
from heat sources and sunlight.
4. Avoid excessive moisture, dust or
extreme cold.
CAUTION: Use only the VTech power supply provided with your telephone.
4. Do not dispose of the battery pack into household garbage. Please refer to the
information concerning proper battery recycling.
5. Do not charge the battery pack with other electrical devices.
Reset Switch
The reset switch, when quickly pressed and released, will reset the phone and
restart the software. Beware that when the reset switch is pressed and held for
> 10 seconds and then released, the phone will restore to factory defaults. This
includes clearing and resetting the password on the web configuration.
Reset switch does not affect your base unit power, RF operation, or any of the
telephone handset settings.
Checking for Dial Tone
After the battery is charged, press ON on the handset. The LCD displays PHONE and
shows a call timer, and you will hear a dial tone. If not, see In Case of Difficulty.
Add new handsets to make your phone more versatile
Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add
new handsets (Model IP 811, sold separately) at any time. You can register a
maximum of four handsets.

only. Wall mounting is optional. Only the handset chargers (not the main base
unit) can be wall mounted.
1. Plug the power adapters into electrical outlets, and the connector to the bottom of the handset charger.
2. Line up the tabs on the wall mount brackets with the holes at the back of the
handset charger. Snap the wall mount bracket firmly in place.
3. Mount the handset charger on the wall. Position the handset charger so the
mounting studs will fit into the holes on the wall mount bracket. Slide handset
charger down on the mounting studs until it locks into place.

PC/LAN Port
STEP 1
Unplug the power cord from your Cable or DSL modem (the device your ISP
provided which provides high-speed Internet). Make sure that you turn your
computer off and that you do NOT plug in your IP 8100-2/8100-3 broadband
telephone until instructed to do so.
Helpful Hint: The modem should be powered off for at least 10 minutes. If it is
turned off for a shorter period of time, it may “remember” old information that will
prevent it from working properly.
