About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service

providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of

calls. Some names and numbers may not show because they are not available

or blocked by the caller. The caller ID information shows after the rst or

second ring.

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, even while on another call.

It may be necessary to change your 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 may

need to combine these services).

You have only 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.

Call log

If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller will appear

after the rst or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller information

appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.

The call log stores up to 30 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the

phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the telephone number has

more that 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has more than

15 characters, only the rst 15 characters are shown and saved in the call log.

You can review, redial and copy an entry into the directory.

Entries appear in reverse chronological order.

When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new

incoming call information.

XX missed call(s) displays when there are new call log entries that have not

been reviewed.

Call log empty displays when there are no records in the call log.

Call log entries are shared by all system handsets (for multi-handset models

only). Any deletions made on one handset are reected on the other handset.

Only one handset can review the call log at a time (for multi-handset models

only). If a handset tries to enter the call log while another handset is already in

it, Not available displays.

•

For call log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, in order to view the

entire number, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 20).

If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in

the call log.

Telephone operation

Missed call indicator

When there are calls that have not been reviewed in the call

log, the handset displays XX missed calls.

Each time you review a call log entry marked NEW, the

number of missed calls decreases by one.

When you have reviewed all the missed calls, the missed call

indicator no longer displays.

If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one,

press and hold OFF/CANCEL on the idle handset to erase the

missed call indicator. All the entries are then considered old.

Memory match

When the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a

telephone number in your directory, the screen displays the stored name of the

directory entry.

For example, if Linda Jones calls, her name appears as Linda if this is how you

entered it into your directory.

Answering system operation

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 and XX new messages display on the handset and the message

window on the telephone base ashes, there are new messages recorded

on the built-in answering system. Press MENU/SELECT twice on the handset

(page 27) or /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 27) to listen.

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. Each

message can be up to three minutes in length (see page 24 to change the

length). The total storage capacity for the announcement, messages and

memos is approximately 11 minutes. The actual recording time depends on

individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until

you delete them.

Troubleshooting

If you have difculty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.

For customer service, visit our website at 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 (pages 3). 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 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 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 (page 3).

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

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 ofce, 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 specied

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 ammable or ame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A

spark in such an environment could create a re 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 adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or oor 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.

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 ofce.

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.

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.
