(you may need combined service)

• You have only caller ID service, or only caller waiting service.

• You don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.

Battery Care and Maintenance

• A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about six hours.

• The battery needs charging when:

— A new battery is installed in the handset.

— The phone beeps twice every five seconds.

— The screen displays BATTERY LOW and the low battery icon.

• Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light turns on.The battery is typically fully charged in 15 hours.

• You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the base after each use.

• If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after charging overnight, the battery should be replaced.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully:

Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in the User’s Manual.

Replacing the Handset Battery

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the handset by pressing on the indentation and sliding the cover downward.

2. Lift out the old Battery and disconnect.

3. Align the two holes in the new battery’s plug with the socket pins, and snap the plug into place. Snap the battery in the compartment, as described in

Installation, on page 6.

4. Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.

5. The new battery must be charged before using the phone. Place the handset in the base and allow it to charge for at least 15 hours the first charge.

The telephone might operate before that, but for best performance, let the battery charge fully.

In Case Of Difficulty

If you have difficulty operating your phone, the suggestions below should solve the problem. If you still have difficulty after trying these suggestions, call VTech Communica- tions at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTech Telecommunications Canada Ltd. at 1-800-

267-7377.

The phone doesn't work at all

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone wall jack.

• Make sure the batteries are properly charged. If you get a LOW BATTERY message or indication, the batteries need charging.

No dial tone

• First try all the suggestions above.

• If you still don't hear a dial tone, disconnect the base unit from the telephone jack and connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company.

You get noise, static, or a weak signal even when you're near the base unit

• Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base unit can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base unit to another outlet.

You get noise, static, or a weak signal when you're away from the base unit

• You may be out of range. Either move closer to the base, or relocate the base unit.

• The layout of your home may be limiting the range. Try moving the base unit to another position.

The handset does not ring when you receive a call

• Make sure you have the ringer activated. Refer to the section(s) on ringer

selection in this User’s Manual.

• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

• You may be too far from the base unit.

• You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of the other phones.

• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.

You hear other calls while using your phone

• Disconnect your base unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular telephone.

If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service.

Call your local telephone company.

You hear noise in the handset, and none of the keys or buttons work

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

31

In Case Of Difficulty

Common cure for electronic equipment

If the unit does not seem to be responding normally, then try putting the handset in its base. If it does not seem to respond, do the following (in the order listed):

1. Disconnect the power to the base.

2. Disconnect the handset battery, and spare battery, if applicable.

3. Wait a few minutes.

4. Connect power to the base.

5. Re-install the battery(ies).

6. Wait for the handset to re-establish its link with the base. To be safe, allow up to one minute for this to take place.

Your answering system is not recording messages

• Make sure system is turned ON (the ON/OFF key is illuminated).

• Make sure the Announce Only feature is set to OFF.

•

You cannot hear recorded messages

Using the base volume control, raise the volume to a comfortable listening level.

CL is flashing in the base Message Window Display:

• You need to set the day and time. Refer to the section(s) on setting day and

time in this user’s manual.

•

Make sure Announce Only feature is set to OFF.

If the system does not respond to commands from a remote touch tone phone:

• Make sure you are calling from a touch tone phone. When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks instead, the phone is not a touch tone telephone.

The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over before entering the code.

• Make sure you enter your Remote Access Code correctly.

32

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 your base unit near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment.

For your own safety, use caution when using electric 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 water. If your base unit should fall into 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.
