Battery Care and Performance
After your battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:
Operation Operating time
While in use (talking) up to 4 hours While not in use (standby*) up to 4 days
* Handset is off the base unit or charger but not in use.
• Battery power is consumed whenever the handset is off the base unit or
charger, even when the handset is not in use. The longer you leave the handset off the base unit or charger, the shorter you can actually talk on the handset. Actual battery performance depends on a combination of how often the handset is in use and how often it is not in use.
• Once the battery is fu lly charged, you do not have to charge it again
until is displayed or flashes. This will maximize the battery life.

I cannot get a dial tone.
• First try all the suggestions above.
• Move the handset closer to the base. You might have moved out of range.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.
• If the previous suggestions don’t work, 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.
If you have difculty operating your phone, the suggestions below should solve the problem. If you still have difculty after trying these suggestions, call VTech Communications at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTech Telecommunications Canada Ltd. at 1-800-267-7377.
Problem Suggestion
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 touchtone). 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 (charges may apply.)
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or other appliance may cause the phone to not 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.
My handset beeps four times and isn’t performing normally.
• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the base. Plug the unit into a different, working outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
• Move the handset closer to the base. You might have moved out of range.
• 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.
