Important Safety Information

This equipment is not designed for making emergency calls in the event of a power failure. Alternative arrangements should be made

for access to emergency services.

This product is intended for connection to an analogue PSTN. (Public switched telephone networks) and private switchboards

within the United Kingdom.

If you wear a hearing aid you should note the VT650 works by transmitting radio waves between base and handset which may

cause a humming noise.

People with a heart pacemaker should consult their doctor before

using this telephone.

1. Use only VTech approved battery pack (NiCd AAA 300 mAh) for the handset. Failure to observe this advice may void the guarantee. The use of incorrect batteries may create a risk of explosion during

battery charging.

2. There may be a slight risk that electrical storms could damage the VT650. We recommend that the telephone cord and mains plug be

removed from your VT650 during such weather conditions.

3. The VT650 will produce a certain amount of heat during operation. For this reason it is recommended that this equipment is NOT placed in direct contact with antique, veneered or delicate

furniture surfaces.

4. This equipment is not suitable for use in damp or humid conditions such as bathrooms. Do not expose the equipment or batteries to fire or water.

3

5. Batteries should NOT be disposed of with normal household

waste. Consult your local council or chemist for disposal advice.

6. Do NOT use this equipment in places where volatile or explosive

materials may be present.

7. The VT650 telephone emits radio signals which could interfere with other electronic equipment, computers, radio, TV, clock radio alarms etc. A distance of at least 1 metre should be maintained between the VT650 base station and other equipment. This will

minimise the risk of such interference.

8. Do not clean the VT650 with a dry cloth, which may cause static shock. Use a damp (not wet) cloth. Never spray cleaning fluids

directly onto the case.

9. Take care to ensure the power cord is connected to the correct input socket on the VT650 base.

Locating & Connecting the Base Station & wall Mounting

The position in which you place the base station can have an effect

upon the range and performance of your VT650 telephone.

Observe the following points:

•The base must be near to both a telephone socket and a mainselectricity socket.

•Avoid placing base too close to large metal objects such as filing cabinets, radiators or electrical appliances. This can impair the

range and sound quality.

• The power of the signal depends on the position of the base. The higher the better. An upstairs room near to the centre of the

house is preferred.

Buildings with thick internal and external walls may impair transmission of signals to and from the base.

CONNECTING THE BASE STATION:

Plug the lead from the adapter into the correct socket on the base unit. Plug the power adapter into a convenient 13 AMP power socket. Turn on the mains power. The base is now ready to receive the handset with the batteries for charging. Charge for at least 12 hours BEFORE you attempt to connect your telephone to the telephone line.

7

WALL MOUNTING:

Remove the handset from the base station. Clip on the supplied bracket and ensure that the fixing screws and plugs are secure before attempting to mount the base station to them. Once mounted check that the base station is stable and replace the handset.
