Install hand set battery

1. Align the two holes of the battery plug with the socket pins in the handset battery compartment,

matching the red and black wires to the color-coded label, then snap the plug securely into place.

2. Place the battery in the compartment with the wires in the upper left corner.

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 you’re 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.

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 outdoor 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 electrical 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 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

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.

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 recep-

tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to 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.
