Charging of the Handset Batteries
The handset of your cordless telephone is powered by
rechargeable batteries. It charges automatically whenever the handset is in its charger or base unit.
You should charge the batteries for 10-12 hours when
you first receive your phone. You will know the batteries 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.
• If the phone will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent
possible leakage.
NOTE: When in LOW BATTERY mode, the keypad sounds, backlighting and speakerphone features will not work. When your battery has been charged, your features will
return to their normal function.
IMPORTANT:
1. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, they might explode.
2. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. 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.
4. Do not dispose of these batteries into household garbage, they should be properly
recycled.
5. Do not charge the batteries with other electrical devices.
Check Battery Indicator
If you receive a check battery warning, it indicates one of the following:
1. There are no batteries in your handset. You need to
install batteries into your handset (see Installation of
Batteries section on the previous page.)
2. You have accidentally installed alkaline batteries into
the handset. (Alkaline batteries must NEVER be used
in this phone. See the warning on the previous page
for additional information about batteries for this telephone.)
3. The rechargeable batteries in your handset need to be replaced with new batteries.
4. The batteries have been installed incorrectly. Reinstall (see Installation of Batteries)
and/or the diagram in the battery compartment on the handset.
Connecting to Phone Line
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the jack on the back of the base unit. Then
plug the other end of this cord into the wall jack. Before connecting to phone line, be
sure to charge the battery for at least 12 hours.
Checking for Dial Tone
After the batteryies are 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.
CAUTION: Use only the VTech power supply provided with your tele

Maintenance
Taking Care Of Your Telephone
Your 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.
Additional Information
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.

FCC Part 15
Additional Information
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet or on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according to the
intended usage of the product. This product has been tested and found to comply with the
FCC criteria. The handset has such a low power that it does not require testing. It may
be safely held against the ear of the user. The base unit shall be installed & used such
that parts of the user’s body other than the hands should be maintained at a comfortable
distance of approximately 20 cm or more.

FCC, ACTA, and IC Regulations
FCC Part 68 and ACTA
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July 23,
2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules.
If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68 rules and with
Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted
by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to
provide you with the following information.
1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an
identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This
information must be provided to your local telephone company upon request. For
equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the
phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after
that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is
encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh
characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ
would indicate an REN of 0.3. The REN is used to determine how many devices you
may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In
most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. You may want
to contact your local telephone company for more information.
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and the
telephone network must comply with the applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with
this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an
RJ14 jack for two lines. See Installation Instructions in the user’s manual. This equipment may not be used with Coin Telephone Lines or with
Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment connected to your
telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not disable your alarm
equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your
telephone company or a qualified installer.
3. Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular jack until the
problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be
made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the
instructions outlined under the Limited Warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone company
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone company is required to notify you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you
will be notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the
problem and the telephone company is required to inform you of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
31
Additional Information
2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
FCC, ACTA, and IC Regulations
equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this
product. The telephone company is required to notify you if such changes are planned.
5. Hearing aid compatibility
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.
6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire
department and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If
you do, please keep three things in mind:
a. We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory card, so
that you can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory dialing feature
doesn’t work.
b. This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.
c. Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not recommended.
However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:
• You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before
hanging up.
• Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed during off-peak
hours, such as in the early morning or late evening, when the emergency services
tend to be less busy.
IC (Industry Canada)
This telephone is registered for use in Canada.
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
Additional Information
Notice:
This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical
Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC,
before the registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a
Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were
met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.
Notice:
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.1. The REN
assigned to each terminal equipment provides an indication of the maximum number of
terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an
interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does
not exceed five.
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.
32
FCC, ACTA, and IC Regulations
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.
Additional Information
Your cordless phone 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.
