Audible Alerts
The Handset provides a number of audible indications.
Out of Range:
??The Handset emits one triple-beep after being out of range of the Base for at least 1 minute.
Low Battery:
??The Handset emits a double-beep two times (separated by 1 minute) in the earpiece when your on a call.
??The Handset emits a double-beep two times (separated by 1 minute) when in idle (on -hook) mode.
Charging:
??The Handset beeps when correctly placed in the charger.
Registration of the Handset with the Base:
??The Handset beeps when the registration procedure is successfully completed.
??The Handset emits one double-beep in the event of unsuccessful registration.
Auto Registration with the Base
When the Handset is placed in the Base Unit, the Handset transmits a registration packet to the Base via the
charger terminals. The Base Unit enables registration and broadcasts registration data via the air interface.
The Handset locks to this Base, and registration is completed.
When a new Handset transmits a registration packet to a Base Unit, the Base checks how many Handsets there
are already registered. In case 4 Handsets are already registered, the Base Unit starts to search for them. If it
can locate all, then the 5th Handset can’t be registered, and registration is blocked. In case a Handset that
already is registered is out of range, or, for other reasons, does not reply to the search and notification request,
it will be de-registered, and the registration procedure for the new Handset is initiated.
The Handset registration procedure must be completed within the time-out limit of 45 seconds. A second
Handset cannot be registered during an ongoing registration procedure.
26
In case of heavy air interference, e.g. when many 2.4GHz products are active in the same area, the registration
duration may be longer, since registration consists of data transfer, which, in contrast to audio, has to be error
free.
The way to de-register a Handset and register it to another Base Unit is to power down the Base Unit, and
place the Handset into a different Base cradle. After powering down the first Base Unit, the Handset is no
longer linked to it, and can be registered to another base. When the Handset is placed in the other Base cradle,
a new registration will take place, and the old registration doesn’t exist any more.
Troubleshooting
The VP1000 uses your exi sting broadband internet connection for placing and receiving calls. For successful
operation it must be able to communicate with your home Router without error. The most common indication
of trouble is that you do not hear dialtone after you push the Talk button on the handset. Please check the
following before contacting your Service Provider for additional help:
1. Check that the provided Ethernet cable is connected between the RJ-45 jack on the rear of the
VP1000 to your home Router.
2. Verify that your home Router is configured to use DHCP to provide IP addresses to attached devices.
If not, enable DHCP on your home Router, or contact your Service Provider for help on manually
setting an IP address in the VP1000.
3. Your home Router may have a firewall that is blocking access to your Service Provider. Contact your
Service Provider for help on programming your firewall to eliminate this block.
