If the screen is blank or displays Place in charger, you need to charge the

handset without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough

charge to use the telephone for a short time. When the battery is low, the

handset screen displays Low battery and a flashing icon. If you are on a call in

low battery mode, the handset plays short beeps to alert you.

Installation options

Your telephone base is ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your

telephone on a wall, use the provided wall mount bracket to connect with a

standard dual-stud telephone wall mounting plate. If you do not have this

mounting plate, you can purchase one from many hardware or consumer

electronics retailers. You may need a professional to install the mounting plate.

Tabletop to wall mount installation

Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the bottom

of the telephone base. Plug the small end of the power adapter into the

POWER jack on the bottom of the telephone base.

Position the telephone bas and wall mount bracket as shown below. Insert the

extended tabs b of the wall mount bracket into the slots a on the back of the

telephone base. Push the telephone base down until it clicks securely in place.

Route the telephone line cord through the wall mount bracket hole and plug

it into the telephone wall jack. Route the power cord out of the bottom of the

telephone and plug it into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

Align the holes on the bracket with the standard wall plate and slide the

bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the telephone line cord and power

adapter cord neatly with twist.

Voice announce caller ID

The voice announce caller ID feature lets you know who is calling without having

to look at the display. When you have an incoming call, the handset and/or base

speaks the name and number of the caller based on the directory or caller ID

information. If the caller’s name is private or unknown, the last 11 digits of the

telephone number will be spoken, if no digits are available, “no digits” will be

spoken. If the caller’s telephone number is also private or unknown, “Private

number” or “Unknown number” will be spoken. Unless you change it, the voice

announce caller ID feature is already turned on.

new voicemail but there are none (for example, when you have accessed your

voicemail while away from home). Clearing the voicemail waiting indicator only

turns off the indicators; it does not delete your voicemail messages. As long as

you have new voicemail messages, your telephone service provider continues to

send the signal to turn on the indicators.

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages:

those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your service provider’s

voicemail. Your telephone’s built-in answering system messages and voicemail

messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.

If and New voicemail display on the handset, your telephone service

provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your

voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone

service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.

If displays on the handset and the message window on the telephone

base flashes, there are new messages in the built-in answering system. To

listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press

/PLAY/STOP on the telephone base or refer to Answer ON/OFF on page

41 to turn it on the handset.

Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and

call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what

services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone service

provider.

To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off your

answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail

service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail

service. You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail

together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail

answers as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings,

contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call, or if the

answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the

second caller can leave a voicemail message.

Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your

voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six rings,

set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers

may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this

case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.

Message capacity

The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. The recording

time of each message depends on the message length you set (see Message

recording time on page 43). The total storage capacity for the announcement,

messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording time

depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for

replay until you delete them.

If the product has been dropped and the telephone base and/or handset has been damaged.

If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of

electric shock from lightning.

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain circumstances,

a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or when the handset is

replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit.

The user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged handset into

the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing concentrations of flammable or

flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could

create a fire or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate

ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.

Important safety instructions

Appendix

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):

Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary

evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers.

Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.

Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,

when it is turned ON.

Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using

wireless telephones.

Operating range

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain

distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the

layout of your home or office.

When the handset is out of range, the handset screen displays Out of range OR No pwr at base.

If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call may not connect

well when you press /FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press /FLASH to answer the call.

If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference. To

improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.

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 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 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 CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove the

telephone by the unplugged cords.

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, 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 often reduces or

eliminates the interference.

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 the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could

release caustic material which could cause injury.

•

The RBRC® seal

The RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that VTech Communications, Inc. is

voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their

useful lives, when taken out of service within the United States and Canada.

The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-metal hydride batteries

into the trash or municipal waste, which may be illegal in your area.

VTech’s participation in RBRC®makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local retailers

participating in the RBRC® program or at authorized VTech product service centers. Please call

1 (800) 8 BATTERYTM for information on Ni-MH battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your

area. VTech’s involvement in this program is part of its commitment to protecting our environment and
