If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.
For customer service, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com or call
1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada, go to www.vtechcanada.com or call
1 (800) 267-7377.
My telephone does not work at all.
Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly. For optimum daily performance,
return the handset to the telephone base or charger after use.
Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a
wall switch.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the
wall jack.
Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 15 seconds,
then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base
to synchronize.
Charge the battery in the handset for up to 16 hours.
If the battery is completely depleted, it may take up to 30 minutes to charge the handset
before Low battery appears on the screen.
Remove and install the battery again. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to
purchase a new battery.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working
telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or
the local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.
There is no dial tone.
Try all the above suggestions.
Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
The telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and connect a different
telephone. If there is no dial tone on this telephone either, the problem is in your wiring
or local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.
If you have changed your telephone service to digital service from a cable company or
a VoIP service provider, the telephone line may need to be rewired to allow all existing
telephone jacks to work. Contact your service provider for more information.

I cannot dial out.
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.
If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the
wiring or local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges
may apply).
Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or dial from
another room in your home with less background noise.
Low battery shows on the handset screen.
Place the handset in the telephone base or charger for recharging.
Remove and install the battery again and use it until fully depleted, then charge the
handset in the telephone base or charger for up to 16 hours.
If the above measures do not correct the problem, replace the battery.
The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.
Make sure the handset ringer volume is not set to off.
Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly.
The handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the
telephone base.
There may be too many extension phones on the telephone line to allow all of them to
ring simultaneously. Unplug some of them.
If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the
wiring or local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges
may apply).
Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause
interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible
from these types of electronic devices.
Test a working telephone at the telephone wall jack. If another telephone has the same
problem, the problem is in the telephone wall jack. Contact your telephone service
provider (charges may apply).
The telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.
Remove and install the battery again and place the handset in the telephone base.
Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for
this to take place.
My handset beeps and is not performing normally.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the
telephone base into a different working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
Reset the telephone base by unplugging the electrical power to the base. Wait for
15 seconds and plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset
and the telephone base to synchronize.
Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause
interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible
from these types of electronic devices.
There is interference during a telephone conversation. My calls fade out
when I am using the cordless handset.
The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line) through
your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and
the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL
interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the
telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to
another outlet.
Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause
interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible
from these types of electronic devices.
If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone
(or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t solve the problem,
relocate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different
surge protector.
The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of your cordless
phone. For better reception, install the telephone base in a centralized location within
your home or office, away from walls or other obstructions. In many environments,
elevating the telephone base improves overall performance.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a corded
telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local
telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the
wiring or local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges
may apply).
I hear other calls when using the telephone.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack. Plug in a different
telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in the wiring or local
telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.
I hear noise on the cordless handset and the keys do not work.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in securely.

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the following:
Read and understand all instructions.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use
a damp cloth for cleaning.
Do not use this product near water such as near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or
a swimming pool, or in a wet basement or shower.
Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.
Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the telephone base and handset are provided for
ventilation. To protect them from overheating, these openings must not be blocked by placing the
product on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or rug. This product should never be placed near
or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in any area where proper
ventilation is not provided.
This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply in your home or office, consult your dealer or
local power company.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product where the cord may be
walked on.
Never push objects of any kind into this product through the slots in the telephone base or handset
because they may touch dangerous voltage points or create a short circuit. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to an authorized
service facility. Opening or removing parts of the telephone base or handset other than specified
access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can
cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to an authorized service facility under
the following conditions:
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled onto the product.
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operation instructions. Improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and often requires extensive work by an authorized technician to
restore the product to normal operation.
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.
Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.
The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The
prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or
cabinet outlet.

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.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
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 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.
Operating range
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 water. If the telephone base should fall into 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.
Maintenance
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.
