About caller ID
The caller ID with call waiting feature in this telephone lets you see the name
and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even when already
on a call. These features require services provided by your local telephone
company.
Contact your telephone company if:
you have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need
combined service),
you have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service, or
you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try
these services.
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use its
other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with
call waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and these services
may not be available in all areas.
The caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering
caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

I cannot dial out. First, try all the above suggestions.
Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a second or two
to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second
before dialing.
Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial type (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in
your area. See Dial mode on page 10 to set the dial type.
If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring

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 the telephone base near a
sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take 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 the water. If the telephone base should fall into the 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.
www.vtechphones.com 59
Appendix
About cordless telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and
the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within
range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
Electrical Power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled
by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.
Potential TV Interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Rechargeable Batteries: This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in
order not to create a short circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe
proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-Metal Hydride Rechargeable Batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned
or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
