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 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

subscribe.

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.

Answering system

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication.

Voicemail is offered by your telephone service provider (fees may apply). Your

telephone’s answering system and voicemail indication are independent features,

and each alerts you to new messages differently. For more information on the

voicemail indicators, see page 9. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial

an access number provided by your telephone company, followed by a security

code or PIN. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system,

press /PLAY/STOP button on the telephone base.

If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service through your telephone service

provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together.

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

voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your voicemail to answer calls after

six rings and 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. By doing this, 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.

Message capacity

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

be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for the announcement,

messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes. Messages will remain

available for replay until they are deleted.

Problem Suggestion

The telephone does not

ring when there is an

incoming call.

Make sure the handset ringer is on (page 6) and the telephone base ringer is on (page 36).

Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (page 2).

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. Try unplugging some of them.

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring

or local service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).

Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your

telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios,

radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors,

televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.

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 local telephone company (charges may

apply).

The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord.

Re-install the battery and place the handset in the telephone base.

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring

or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances may cause

the telephone not to dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, rst try

muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with

less background noise.

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 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 the 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.

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 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 the battery. Like

other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.

•

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
