Troubleshooting
If you have difculty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.
I cannot add and connect my cell phone to the telephone base.
Make sure you have cellular coverage.
Make sure your cell phone is compatible with your DS6751.
Make sure the Bluetooth function of your cell phone is turned on. See the user’s manual of
your cell phone for more information.
Make sure that your Bluetooth cell phone is not connected to any other Bluetooth device.
To connect your cell phone, make sure that your cell phone is connected and active on the
device list.
Remove VTech DS6751 from your cell phone’s handsfree device history list (see the
user’s manual of your cell phone for more information).
Carefully follow the pairing instructions on page 4 and make sure that your cell phone is not
connected to any other Bluetooth device.
Turn off your cell phone, then turn it on again.
For some cell phones, you must authorize VTech DS6751 device in your cell phone’s
Bluetooth feature. See the user’s manual of your cell phone for more information.
Manually connect your cell phone to VTech DS6751. Refer to the user’s manual of your
cell phone for more information.
Reset the telephone base. Unplug the unit’s electrical power. Wait for approximately
15 seconds, then plug it back in. Repeat the above suggestions.
The PIN on the telephone base does not work.
Make sure you enter the correct PIN. The default PIN is 0000.
Can the DS6751 help the poor cell phone reception in my house?
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the DS6751 cannot improve the
reception. However, if there is a location in your house with better reception, you can leave
your cell phone at that location while you use the DS6751 cell line. In order for this to work,
the telephone base must be within 30 feet of the cell phone.
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 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 rmly 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 cordless handset for at least 11 hours. For optimum daily
performance, return the cordless handset to the handset charger after use.
If the battery is completely depleted, charge the cordless handset for at least 30 minutes
before use.
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
telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.
I have accidentally set my handset/telephone base LCD language to Spanish or French,
and I don’t know how to change it back to English.
While the handset/telephone base is not in use, press MENU, then enter 364#.
While the handset is on a call, press MENU, then enter 364#. The call ends.
The answering system does not record messages.
Make sure the answering system is on.
Make sure the memory of the answering system is not full. When the answering machine
memory is full, it does not record new messages until some old messages are deleted.
If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of ring so that your answering
system answers before your voicemail answers. To determine how many rings activate
your voicemail, contact your telephone service provider.
If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the
fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for
information on compatibility with answering systems.

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 ofce.
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 /HOME. Move closer to the telephone base, then press /HOME to answer the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference. To improve

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.
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 conserving natural resources.

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.
