It might be out of range. The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Install a new telephone line cord. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and connect a different telephone. If there is no dial tone on this telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company. The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call. Make sure the handset ringer volume is not set to the lowest level (page 8). Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (page 2). The handset might be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone base. There might be too many extension phones on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Unplug 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 might apply). Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Install your telephone as far away as possible from electronic devices such as: wireless routers, radios, 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 might apply). The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Install a new telephone line cord. Re-install the battery and place the handset in the telephone base or charger. Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place. 34 Appendix Troubleshooting I cannot dial out. First, try all the above suggestions. Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.

(or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesnt solve the problem, re-

locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector. 35 Appendix Troubleshooting The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of your cordless phone. For better reception, install the telephone base in a centralized location within your home or ofce, away from walls or other obstructions. In many environments, elevating the telephone base improves overall performance. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local service company (charges might apply). 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 might apply). I hear other calls when using the telephone. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack. Plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company. I hear noise on the cordless handset, and none of the keys or buttons works. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in securely. My caller ID features are not working properly. Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from your local telephone company for this feature to work on your telephone. The caller might not be calling from an area which supports caller ID. Both you and the callers telephone companies must use equipment compatible with the caller ID service. The caller ID information shows after the rst or second ring. If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL lter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The lter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL lters. The telephone does not receive caller ID or the telephone does not show caller ID during call waiting. Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features provided by the local telephone company. The caller might not be calling from an area which supports caller ID.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 38 Appendix 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 CONNECTING... If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not

/FLASH connect well when you press to answer the call. If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.

/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press 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 CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove the telephone by the unplugged cords. 39 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 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. VTechs 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.

Your telephones 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 10. To listen to your voicemail, follow the instructions provided by your voicemail service provider. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, see page 31. If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service through your telephone company, 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 telephone companies 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 four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.

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. 48 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 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-

Depending on your service subscription, you may see the callers number, or the callers name and number that are sent by the telephone company after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. 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 company 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 don't subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services. DISJTUJOF!TNJUI 999.833.8813 21;12 BN NEW

:036 MSG#

There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas. This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone company along with the call information. The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see pages 21-22). NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this products other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. 26 Caller ID Caller ID operation Memory match If the incoming telephone number exactly matches 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. DISJTUJOF!TNJUI 999.833.8813 21;12 BN NEW

:036 MSG#

NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID is in the format sent by the phone company. The phone company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the phone company. For example, if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name appears as delivered by the phone company. Missed (new) calls indicator When a handset is in idle mode and has calls that have not been reviewed, its screen shows XX MISSED CALLS. All unreviewed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a call log entry marked NEW, the number of missed calls decreases by one. If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but you still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you can press and hold OFF/CLEAR for four seconds when the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history will be considered old (have been reviewed), and the missed calls counter shows 0. IBOETFU!2 7!NJTTFE!DBMMT!

Caller ID Caller ID history How the caller ID history (call log) works The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handsets, so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history. Review the caller ID history to find out who called, to easily return the call, or to copy the callers name and number into your directory. XX MISSED CALL(S) will appear if there are new call log entries (including missed and unreviewed calls). CALL LOG EMPTY appears if there are no records in the call log. NOTES:

1. Only one handset can review the caller ID history at a time. If another handset attempts to enter the directory or caller ID history, it shows NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. 2. Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. Callers name DISJTUJOF!TNJUI Callers number 999.833.8813 21;12BN NEW MSG#

, 25 Answering system Answering system and voicemail Your telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication. Most telephone companies offer voicemail service (fees may apply). Your telephones 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 8 . To listen to your voicemail, follow the instructions provided by your voicemail service provider. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, see page 28. If you subscribe to a voicemail service through your telephone service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together. If you are on a call, or the answering system is busy 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, set your voicemail to answer calls after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some telephone companies 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 four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them. 26 Answering system Turn the answering system on or off The answering system must be turned on to answer and record messages.

Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Install your telephone as far away as possible from electronic devices such as:

wireless routers, radios, 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 might apply). The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Install a new telephone line cord. Re-install the battery and place the handset in the telephone base or charger. Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place. 39 Appendix Troubleshooting I cannot dial out. First, try all the above suggestions. Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing. 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 might apply). Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or dial from another room in your home with less background noise. My handset beeps and is not performing normally. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the telephone base into a different working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch. Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range. Reset the telephone base by unplugging the electrical power to the base. Wait for 15 seconds and plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and the telephone base to synchronize. Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Install your telephone as far away from these electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones. There is interference during a telephone conversation. My calls fade out when I am using the cordless handset. The handset might be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters. Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet. Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Install 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. If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone

(or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesnt solve the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector. 40 Appendix Troubleshooting The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of your cordless phone. For better reception, install the telephone base in a centralized location within your home or office, away from walls or other obstructions. In many environments, elevating the telephone base improves overall performance. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local service company (charges might apply). 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 might apply). I hear other calls when using the telephone. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack. Plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company. I hear noise on the cordless handset and the keys do not work. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in securely. My caller ID features are not working properly. Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from your local telephone company for this feature to work on your telephone. The caller might not be calling from an area which supports caller ID. Both you and the callers telephone companies must use equipment compatible with the caller ID service. The caller ID information shows after the first or second ring. If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters. The telephone does not receive caller ID or the telephone does not show caller ID during call waiting. Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features provided by the local telephone company. The caller might not be calling from an area which supports caller ID. Both you and the callers telephone companies must use equipment compatible with caller ID service. If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters. 41 Appendix Troubleshooting Caller ID entries do not match the numbers I need to dial. Caller ID service delivers 10 digits (the area code plus the seven-digits number). If you need to dial something other 10 digits, see page 23 for instructions on changing the number. If you dial seven digits for local calls you might want to use the Home area code feature (page 8). CONNECTING... shows in the handset screen. The handset might be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Use a working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

Wait for 15 seconds, then plug in the power adapter and re-install the battery. Place the handset in the telephone base and allow up to one minute for the handset and telephone base to synchronize. Other electronic products might prevent your handset and telephone base from communicating with each other. Install your telephone base as far away from these electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones. The answering system does not answer after the number of rings that I programmed it. Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, the ANS ON/OFF light on the telephone base should be lit and ANS ON should show on the handset. If toll saver is selected, the number of rings changes to two when there are new messages waiting (page 9). If the memory is full or if the answering system is off, the answering system answers after 10 rings. In some cases, the answering system is affected by the ringing system used by the local telephone company. The outgoing announcement is not clear. When recording the announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice towards the microphone of the handset. Make sure there is no background noise when recording. 42 Appendix The messages on the answering system are very difficult to hear. on the telephone base or handset to increase the speaker volume. on the telephone base or handset to increase the speaker volume. Press VOL The answering system does not record messages. Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering machine memory is full, it does not record new messages until some old messages are deleted. The messages on the answering system are incomplete. If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it might be lost when the answering system disconnects the call after four minutes. If the memory on the answering system becomes full during a message, the answering system stops recording and disconnects the call. If the callers voice is very soft, the answering system might stop recording and disconnect the call. The answering system does not respond to remote commands. Make sure your remote code is correct (page 9). Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When dialing a number, there should be tones. If there are clicks, then it is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system. The answering system might not detect the remote access code when your announcement is playing. Wait until the announcement is over before entering the code. There might be interference on the telephone line you are using. Press the dial pad keys firmly when dialing. Common cures for electronic equipment. If the telephone is not responding normally, put the cordless handset in the telephone base. If it does not respond, try the following (in the order listed):

Disconnect the power to the telephone base. Disconnect the battery on the cordless handset. Wait a few minutes before connecting power to the telephone base. Re-install the battery and place the cordless handset in the telephone base or charger. Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the telephone base.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 44 Appendix 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 office. When the handset is out of range, the handset displays CONNECTING... If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press to answer the call. If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base. Move closer to the telephone base, then press 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 dry non-abrasive cloth. Do not use dampened cloth 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. 45 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 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. VTechs 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.

(or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesnt solve the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector. 32 Appendix Troubleshooting The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of your cordless phone. For better reception, install the telephone base in a centralized location within your home or office, away from walls or other obstructions. In many environments, elevating the telephone base improves overall performance. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local service company (charges might apply). 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 might apply). I hear other calls when using the telephone. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack. Plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company. I hear noise on the cordless handset and the keys do not work. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in securely. My caller ID features are not working properly. Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from your local telephone company for this feature to work on your telephone. The caller might not be calling from an area which supports caller ID. Both you and the callers telephone companies must use equipment compatible with the caller ID service. The caller ID information shows after the first or second ring. If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters. The telephone does not receive caller ID or the telephone does not show caller ID during call waiting. Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features provided by the local telephone company. The caller might not be calling from an area which supports caller ID.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 35 Appendix 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 office. When the handset is out of range, the handset displays CONNECTING... If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press to answer the call. If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base. Move closer to the telephone base, then press 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 dry non-abrasive cloth. Do not use dampened cloth 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. 36 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 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. VTechs 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.

Depending on your service subscription, you may see the callers number, or the callers name and number that are sent by the telephone company after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. 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 company 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 don't subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services. DISJTUJOF!TNJUI 999.833.8813 21;12 BN NEW

:036 MSG#

There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas. This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone company along with the call information. The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see pages 27-28). NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this products other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. 31 Caller ID Caller ID operation Memory match If the incoming telephone number exactly matches 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. DISJTUJOF!TNJUI 999.833.8813 21;12 BN NEW

:036 MSG#

NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID is in the format sent by the phone company. The phone company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the phone company. For example, if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name appears as delivered by the phone company. Missed (new) calls indicator When a handset is in idle mode and has calls that have not been reviewed, its screen shows XX MISSED CALLS. All unreviewed entries are counted as missed calls.

Spcfsu!Cspxo 999.994.3556 32 Caller ID Caller ID history How the caller ID history (call log) works The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handsets, so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history. Review the caller ID history to find out who called, to easily return the call, or to copy the callers name and number into your directory. XX MISSED CALL(S) will appear if there are new call log entries (includng missed and unreviewed calls). CALL LOG EMPTY appears if there are no records in the call log. NOTES:

1. Only one handset can review the caller ID history at a time. If another handset attempts to enter the directory or caller ID history, it shows NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. 2.

Most telephone companies offer voice mail service (fees may apply). Your telephones answering system and voice mail indication are independent features. Each alerts you to new messages differently. For more information on the voice mail indicators, see page 12. To listen to your voice mail, you typically follow the instructions provided by your voice mail service provider. 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 voice mail together. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voice mail is set to answer. For example, set your voice mail to answer calls after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings. NOTE: Some voice mail 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 voice mail message. Message capacity The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and the maximum recording time is 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them. When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system, the number of messages stored will flash in the message counter. If F is flashing in the message counter, the memory is full. You must delete some messages before recording new ones.

Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base 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 telephone base 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 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 TVs 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. 57 Appendix E Important safety information Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.

Depending on your service subscription, you might see the callers number, or the callers name and number from the telephone company after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date, and time of calls. 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 might be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone company if:

You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you might need to combine these services). You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service. You don't 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. DISJTUJOF!TNJUI 999.833.8813 21;12 BN NEW

:036 This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. The time and date are from the telephone company along with the call information. Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 37). NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this products other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. 33 Caller ID Caller ID history How the caller ID history (call log) works The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handsets, so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history. Review the caller ID history to find out who called, to easily return the call, or to copy the callers name and number into your directory. XX MISSED CALL(S) appears if there are new call log entries (including missed and unreviewed calls). CALL LOG EMPTY appears if there are no records in the call log. NOTES:

1. Only one handset can review the caller ID history at a time. If another handset tries to enter the directory or caller ID history, it shows NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. 2. Each entry can have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. DISJTUJOF!TNJUI 999.833.8813 21;12BN NEW

Time of call Date of call 34 Caller ID Caller ID operation Memory match If the incoming telephone number exactly matches 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 phone company. The phone company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name appears the same from the phone company. For example, if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name is the one which the phone company sends. DISJTUJOF!TNJUI 999.833.8813 21;12BN NEW

:036 Missed (new) calls indicator When a handset is in idle mode and has unreviewed calls, its screen shows XX MISSED CALLS. All unreviewed entries are counted as missed calls.

Most telephone companies offer voicemail services (fees may apply). Your telephones answering system and voicemail indication are independent features. Each alerts you to new messages differently. For more information on the voicemail indicators, see page 13. To listen to your voicemail, you typically follow the instructions that your voicemail service provider provides. To listen to messages 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. NOTE: 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 up to 99 messages, depending on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and the maximum recording time is 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them. When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system, the number of messages stored flashes in the message counter. If F is flashing in the message counter, the memory is full. You must delete some messages before recording new ones. Turn the answering system on or off at the telephone base Unless you change it, the answering system is on and ready to record messages. You can turn the answering system off, but if you do so, the answering system does not answer calls and record incoming messages. Press ANSWER ON/OFF to turn the answering system on or off. If the answering system is turned on, it announces Calls will be answered. If the answering system is turned off, it announces Calls will not be answered. 39 Answering system About the answering system New message indication The message window on the telephone base flashes and shows on the handset when there are new answering system messages. If the new message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when there are unreviewed messages. NOTE: If the answering system has less than five minutes of recording time left, it announces the remaining time. IBOETFU!2 21;32BN 22024 Call screening at the telephone base If the answering system is on and the telephone base volume is not off (set to 1 or higher), you hear the announcement and the incoming message when receiving a call.

For Customer Service, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268. My phone doesnt work at all. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in. Make sure you plug the battery connector securely into the cordless handset. Make sure you plug the telephone line cord securely and firmly into the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the telephone base or charger when not in use. If the battery is depleted, it might take approximately four minutes to charge the handset before it can resume display on the screen. Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to reset. You may need to purchase a new battery. Please refer to Battery installation & charging, page 6, in this users manual. I cannot get a dial tone. First try all the suggestions above. Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You might have moved out of range. If the previous suggestions do not work, disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and connect to 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. Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord. 53 Appendix D Troubleshooting I cannot dial out. My cordless handset isnt performing normally. First try all the suggestions above. Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless handset might take a second or two to find the telephone base and produce a dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing. Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or other appliances might cause the phone to not dial out properly.
