This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions
that may appear in this user’s manual. Always follow basic safety
precautions when using this product to reduce the risk of injury, fire, or
electric shock.
Safety information
• Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings
on the product.
• Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance 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.
• Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use
it in a wet basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product
comes in contact with any liquid, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not
plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.
• Avoid placing the telephone system in places with extreme temperature, direct
sunlight, or other electrical devices. Protect your phone from moisture, dust,
corrosive liquids and fumes.
• Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or
power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
• If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section on
pages 78-86. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to
the Limited warranty section on pages 96-98. Do not open this product except as
directed in the user’s manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly
may expose you to hazardous voltages or other risks.
• Replace backup battery only as described in the user’s manual. Do not burn or
puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.
• This power adapter is 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, an under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
Important safety information
ii
• For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Caution:
• Use only the power adapter provided with this product. To obtain a
replacement, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com, or call
1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada, dial 1 (800) 267-7377.
• Use only the supplied rechargeable battery or replacement battery
(model BT283342). To order a replacement battery, visit our website at
www.vtechphones.com, or call 1 (800) 595-9511. In Canada,
dial 1 (800) 267-7377.
• To prevent risk of fire or battery explosion, replace with the correct
battery type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Especially about cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient
create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the console and
the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your 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 console of this cordless telephone must be connected to a
working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be
made from the handset if the console 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 TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, do not place the console 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 nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit
with conductive 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.
The RBRC® Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily
participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-
metal hydride rechargeable batteries when taken out of service
within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a
participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling
center. You may call 1 (800) 8-BATTERY® for locations accepting
spent Ni-MH batteries.
RBRC® and 1-800-8-BATTERY® are registered trademarks of the
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.

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.
Especially about telephone answering systems
Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other
party that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any
federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start
the recording process and then inform the other party that you are recording the
conversation.

This telephone supports caller ID services that most telephone
service providers offer. Caller ID allows you to see the name,
number, date and time of calls. Depending on your service
subscription, you might see the caller’s number, or the caller’s
name and number from the telephone service provider after the
first or second ring. Caller ID information might not be available for
every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names
and/or telephone numbers.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller
are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service
providers use compatible equipment.
Information about caller ID with call waiting
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone
number of the caller before answering the telephone, and while on
another call. The time and date, along with the call information, are
from the telephone service provider.
It might be necessary to change telephone
service to use this feature. Contact your
telephone service provider if:
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as
separate services (you might need to combine
these services).
• You only have caller ID service, or only call
waiting service.
• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not
be available in all areas.
NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service. You can also
use this product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined
caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID information
How the caller ID information (call log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information for the last 50 incoming
calls in the handset. Entries are stored in reverse chronological
order. The telephone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to
make room for new calls.
Each extension has independent caller ID information. Deleting
the caller ID information on any one extension does not affect the
caller ID information on other extensions.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen,
it does not show in the caller ID information.
Review the caller ID information to determine who called,
easily return the call, or copy the caller’s name and number into
your directory.
The time and date of the call and the caller’s name and telephone
number are included in the display.
Caller ID information appears on the screen as the telephone
rings, or until the caller hangs up, or the call has been answered at
another extension, or the call ends.
NOTES:
• The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers
might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
• Each entry can store up to 24 digits for the telephone number and
16 characters for the name.

Memory match
If the incoming telephone number is an exact match with a
telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the
screen matches the corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if
this is how you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number you see on your caller ID is in the format from the
telephone service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers
(area code plus telephone number). The telephone system ignores the area
code when searching for a match and displays the name of the first
corresponding number from the directory.
Missed (new) calls indicator
When there are new or missed calls and you try to review the
caller ID log by pressing CID, the screen shows XX Missed

Mesures de sécurité importantes
Ce symbole vous alertera d’informations importantes ou d’instructions
d’entretien pouvant apparaître dans ce guide d’utilisation. Respectez
toujours les mesures de sécurité et de sécurité de base lorsque vous
utilisez ce produit, afin de réduire les risques de blessures, d’incendie, ou
d’électrocution.
Information relative à la sécurité
• Veuillez lire et comprendre toutes les instructions de ce guide d’utilisation.
Relectez toutes les inscriptions apparaissant sur le produit.
• Évitez d’utiliser le téléphone pendant un orage. Il pourrait y avoir un faible risque
d’électrocution.
• N’utilisez pas un téléphone près d’une fuite de gaz. Dans certaines
circonstances, une flammèche pourrait se produire lorsque l’adaptateur est
branché à une prise de courant, ou lorsque le combiné est déposé sur son
chargeur. Ceci est un événement fréquent associé avec la fermeture d’un circuit
électrique. L’utilisateur ne devrait pas brancher un téléphone dans une prise
de courant, et ne devrait pas déposer un combiné chargé dans le chargeur, si
le téléphone se trouve dans un environnement comportant une concentration
de gaz inflammables ou ignifuges, à moins de se trouver dans un endroit où la
ventilation est adéquate. Une flammèche dans de tels environnements pourrait
provoquer une explosion. De tels environnements peuvent comprendre :
les endroits où de l’oxygène à des fins médicales est utilisé sans ventilation
adéquate; des endroits où se trouvent des gaz industriels (dissolvants de
nettoyage, des vapeurs de gazoline, etc.), une fuite de gaz naturel, etc.
• N’utilisez pas ce produit près de l’eau ou lorsque vous êtes mouillés. Par
exemple, ne l’utilisez pas dans des sous-sols humides ou sous la douche, ou
près d’une piscine, d’un bain, d’un évier de cuisine, ou d’une cuve de lavage.
N’utilisez pas de liquides, ou de vaporisateurs aérosol de nettoyage. Si le produit
entre en contact avec du liquide, débranchez immédiatement le fil téléphonique
ou le cordon d’alimentation. Ne rebranchez pas le produit avant qu’il soit
complètement sec.

• Confidentialité : Les mêmes caractéristiques qui rendent les téléphones sans fil
si pratiques créent également des restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques sont
transmis entre le socle du téléphone et le combiné par le biais d’ondes radio, et
il se peut que vos conversations téléphoniques soient interceptées par d’autres
équipements de réception d’ondes radio au sein de la portée du téléphone sans
fil. Pour cette raison, vous ne devez pas considérer les conversations sur un
téléphone sans fil comme étant aussi confidentielles que celles d’un téléphone à
cordon.
• Alimentation électrique : La base de ce téléphone sans fil doit être branchée à
une prise de courant électrique fonctionnelle. La prise électrique ne doit pas être
contrôlée par un interrupteur mural. Les appels ne peuvent pas être effectués à
partir du combiné si la base n’est pas branchée, si elle est hors fonction ou si le
courant électrique est coupé.
• Interférences potentielles aux téléviseurs : Certains téléphones sans fil
fonctionnent sur des fréquences pouvant causer des interférences aux
téléviseurs et magnétoscopes. Pour réduire ou prévenir de tels parasites,
ne pas déposer la base du téléphone sans fil à proximité d’un téléviseur ou
magnétoscope, ni directement sur celui-ci. Si votre téléviseur affiche des
interférences, éloignez le téléphone sans fil de celui-ci afin de réduire les
parasites.

Stimulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux téléphones sans fil numériques) :
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche
indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre
les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans
l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des
États-unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins :
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
• Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance d’au moins six pouces du
stimulateur cardiaque.
• Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur le stimulateur
cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en fonction.
• Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se trouve
dans la direction opposée au stimulateur cardiaque.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les
détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causé par les gens qui utilisent un téléphone
sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
