VTech VT 1930c User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated cordless telephones on the market! The VTech VT 1930c has been designed to offer a new standard in cordless telephone technology.

Unlike most other cordless phones, the VTech VT 1930c digitizes your voice using advanced ADPCM digital voice coding to provide noise and distortion free performance. In most conditions, you will not be able to tell you are using a cordless phone. Gone are the annoyances of static, interference and having to listen to other peopleÕs conversations on your cordless phone.

The VTech VT 1930c scrambles your voice before it transmits it. This allows you the security of knowing that no one can tune in and eavesdrop on your conversations.

The VTech VT 1930c decodes and displays name and/or number Caller ID (CID) information where available and when subscribed to. The alphanumeric display can show both the name and number of the calling party. Up to 24 name characters or 11 phone number digits can be displayed.

The VTech VT 1930c also provides a two-way Intercom/Handset locator function.

The VTech VT 1930c uses special memory in both the base and handset which is not susceptible to power failures. This provides permanent storage of all memory dial numbers, Caller ID (CID) information as well as the base and handset security codes.

When an optional battery pack is installed in the base unit, the VTech VT 1930c uses this battery pack to provide operational backup in case of power failure. In this way you have access to Handset functions during a total power outage. Calls can still be placed and received on the Handset without interruption. Up to 5 hours backup will be possible with a fully charged battery pack in the base unit.

The VTech VT 1930c informs you when another extension is currently in use on the same phone line. The phone will also alert you when you are Out of Range, even when you're not using the phone!

With the VTech VT 1930c, the user can easily answer a call by pressing any key other than the OFF, MUTE or VOLUME Keys. In addition, the handset keypad and display illuminate while the handset rings to signal an incoming call. This is very useful in a dark environment.

This equipment may not be used on

FCC Part 68

The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone jack (USOC RJ11C, RJ11W or RJ14).

Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment causes harm to the telephone network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection, if possible. During notification, you will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so, you will be given advance notice of the change to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

The base unit contains no user serviceable parts. The handset contains a user replaceable battery pack.

If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem has been corrected.

FCC and IC Regulations

Before installing this equipment, users 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 VTech VT 1930c is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the FCC and IC. This means your handset and base unit can communicate only over a certain distance - which will depend on the location of the base unit and handset, weather, and the construction and layout of your home or office.

Charging The Handset Battery Pack

The handset of your VTech VT 1930c cordless telephone is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. It charges automatically whenever the handset is in the base. You should charge the battery pack for 16 hours when you first receive your phone. YouÕll know the battery pack needs charging when:

¥Ê The phone emits a warning tone

when you press the PHONE key.

¥ The low battery message is

displayed:

¥ The handset seems completely

dead, the display is clear and the handset does not beep when you press the keys.

To Charge The Battery Pack

To charge the battery pack, place the handset in the base unit. The CHARGING indicator will light to show the handset is seated properly and the battery pack is charging. It is recommended that the battery pack be charged for at least 16 hours initially and 8 hours for maintenance charging. You can use your telephone before that with diminished capacity, but it is best to charge the battery pack fully. It will take several recharge cycles to maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack. The maximum battery life between charges is 7 hours of continuous talk time or 7 days of standby.

Alternatively, if you have purchased a spare battery pack and it has been charging in the base unit, simply exchange the drained handset battery pack with the fully charged replacement battery pack from the base charger. Place the drained handset battery pack into the base charger to recharge.

The base spare battery charger does NOT charge a battery pack as quickly as the handset battery charger. A full charge requires 24 hour when using the spare battery charger.

It's Impossible To Overcharge The Battery Pack

The battery pack can be recharged many times, but if you get a low battery message even after 16 hours of charging in the base cradle (or 24 hours in the base spare battery charger), the battery pack(s) should be replaced.

To purchase replacement battery packs, call VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH Electronics at 1-800-267-

7377.

A Word About Rechargeable Batteries

Your Nicad battery pack recharges whenever the Handset is returned to the Base Unit cradle. You may return the Handset to its cradle whenever you're not using the phone.

CALLER ID (CID)

Caller ID (CID)

Your VTech VT 1930c cordless phone is capable of displaying the name and/ or phone number of the person calling, before you answer the phone. Subscription to Caller ID service through your local phone company is required to utilize this feature.

If you subscribe to alphanumeric (name and number) Caller ID service, the calling party's name and phone number (when available) will be displayed on the handset screen while the phone is ringing.

If you subscribe to numeric (number only) Caller ID service, the calling party's phone number (when available) will be displayed on the handset screen while the phone is ringing.

Call Waiting Caller ID (Type II CID)

Your VTech 1930c cordless phone is also capable of displaying Caller ID information in connection with a Call Waiting signal. If you are on a call, and receive a Call Waiting alert signal, the handset will display the name and/or number (when available) of the party trying to reach you. As above, subscription to Call Waiting ID service through your local phone company is required in order to utilize this feature.

NOTE:

You must be in an area where Caller ID (CID) service is available and you must subscribe to it to use this feature.

If you do not subscribe to the Caller ID (CID) service, the phone will still operate normally, except that the Caller ID (CID) information is not received or displayed.

Receiving and Storing Calls

This unit receives and displays all Caller ID (CID) information: the callerÕs telephone number, the caller's name and the exact date and time of the call.

The phone sequentially numbers these call records and retains them in the unitÕs memory for later review. The unit can store up to 50 numbers in its memory.

Once the Caller ID (CID) memory is full, any new call forces a deletion of the oldest call record.

Dialing From Caller ID (CID) Memory NOTE:

Only the last 7 digits of any number are displayed when dialing from Caller ID (CID) memory.

A Word About Caller ID - CID

Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be available for every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally block their name and phone number from being sent.

For example, when you press and hold the 7 key to view the phone number, you would see the following:

CALLER ID (CID)

However, when you dial directly from Caller ID (CID) memory, only the last 7 digits of the received telephone number will be used. Consequently, you would actually dial this:

The VTech VT 1930c was designed to accommodate this situation. If you need to temporarily add a long dlstance prefix and /or area code (such as 1503) before the Caller ID (CID) number, do the following: ¥ Beginning from the standby mode,

key in the necessary digits. Your display will look like this:

¥ Then, to temporarily add the last 7

digits only from a Caller ID (CID) memory, press CID .

¥ Using the ( ) and (#) keys,

scroll through the received calls to locate the number you wish to dial.

Special Message Indicators Out of Area Calls

If for any reason the telephone number of the caller is unavailable, or if the caller is outside the Caller ID (CID) service area, the message UNAVAILABLE is displayed.

ÒPrivateÓ Calls

If the caller has exercised the option to block his or her number from being sent, then the display will show

PRIVATE.

Transmission Error

If an error is detected, then the Caller ID (CID) information is incomplete and will not be displayed. TRANSMISSION ERROR will be displayed.

¥ Once you have located the n umber

you wish to dial, simply press PHONE . The last seven digits will be added to the numbers already in the display, and the whole number shown below will be automatically dialed.

The occasional appearance of TRANS- MISSION ERROR on your display does not indicate a problem with your unit or your telephone line. However, if this appears frequently, you may want to notify your telephone company.

CALLER ID (CID)

Reviewing Numbers

Calls stored in memory can be reviewed by pressing CID . The display will show the number of the most recent (Call #01). The top line of the display is used to indicate the memory location number and the bottom line of the display shows the name, see below:

There may be additional characters in the name which can not be shown on the current display. Press the ( 9 ) key. This will overwrite the Caller ID (CID) memory location on the top line to show up to a maximum of 15 alpha characters for the duration of the key press. The first 12 alpha characters will be on the top line with up to 3 additional characters on the second line.

Pressing the ( ) key displays the next lower in sequence call record.

Likewise, pressing the (#) key displays the next higher in sequence) call record. The higher the call number, the older the call.

To save you time in reviewing call records, you can Òwrap-aroundÓ the call history log. For example, if you press the ( ) key enough to scroll back to the first record, pressing it

again will force the display to go to the very end of the call record.

ADDITIONAL OPERATING TIPS

Noise Or Interference

Your VTech VT 1930c cordless telephone has auto-channel scan circuitry which will detect excess noise and change the channel of the phone to reduce it. This is done automatically.

Out Of Range When Phone Is On

Since the VTech VT 1930c is a fully digital phone, it does not suffer from noise associated with regular cordless phones. At times you may experience occasional "drop outs", especially at the extreme edges of the phone's range. Simply move closer to the base unit and this will disappear.

Automatic Security Coding

Your VTech VT 1930c phone is factory set with 16.8 million possible security codes. This unique security code allows your handset and base to recognize each other, and minimizes the possibility of another cordless phone using your telephone line.

Out Of Range indication

If the handset is moved to a point where the base and handset can no longer communicate, the handset will display CHANNEL SEARCHING and scan all channels in an attempt to re-link with the base.

If you are presently engaged in a phone conversation move closer to the base. If the base unit does not communicate with the handset within 25 seconds of losing contact, it will automatically hang up.

Out Of Range When Phone Is Off

When the phone is OFF, the handset and base still monitor each other to make sure that they can communicate. If the handset is moved out of range, the handset will display CHANNEL SEARCHING. The Handset will scan all channels in an attempt to reestablish communication with the base. This process does not require user intervention; the handset will re-link with the base automatically once it is brought back within range. The unit will then be able to receive and place calls.

MAINTENANCE

Taking Care Of Your Telephone

Your VTech VT 1930c 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.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

If you have difficulty operating your phone, the suggestions below should solve the problem. If you still have difficulty after trying these suggestions, call VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH Electronics at 1-800-267-7377.

THE PHONE DOESNÕT WORK AT ALL.

¥ Make sure the Power Cord is

pugged in.

¥ Make sure the telephone line cord

is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone wall jack.

¥ Make sure the batteries are

properly charged. If the 'LOW BATTERY' message is shown, the battery pack needs charging.

NO DIAL TONE.

¥ First check all the suggestions

above.

¥ If you still donÕt 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. Call your local telephone company.

YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A WEAK SIGNAL EVEN WHEN YOUÕRE NEAR THE BASE UNIT.

¥ Household appliances plugged into

the same circuit as the base unit can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base unit to another outlet.

YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A WEAK SIGNAL WHEN YOUÕRE AWAY FROM THE BASE UNIT.

¥ You may be out of range. Either

move close to the base, or relocate the base unit.

¥ The layout of your home may be

limiting the range. Tr y moving the base unit to another position.

THE HANDSET DOES NOT RING WHEN YOU RECEIVE A CALL.

¥ Make sure you have the handset

ringer activated. To set the r inger, see "PROGRAMMING THE RINGER".

¥ Make sure the telephone line cord

is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone jack. Mak e 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 unplugging 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.

YOU HEAR NOISE IN THE HANDSET, AND NONE OF THE KEYS OR BUTTONS WORK.

Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

COMMON CURE FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

Electronics, like people, can sometimes get confused. If the unit does not seem to be responding normally, then try putting the handset in the cradle. If it does not seem to respond after trying this a few times, do the following (in the order listed):

1. Disconnect the power to the base.

2. Disconnect the handset battery.

3. Wait a few minutes.

4. Connect power to the base.
