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. 58 www.vtechphones.com 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. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury. Warranty What does this limited warranty cover?

CHRISTINE SMITH 908-555-0100 10:08AM 02/14 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. REMOVE 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 combined service). You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service. You do not have any caller ID or call waiting services. This product can be used with regular caller ID service, or this products other features can be used without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas. Depending on your service, you may see the callers number or the callers name and number. 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. 23 Caller ID operation Caller ID summary How caller ID works If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your local telephone company, information about each caller will be displayed between the first and second ring.

My telephone does not work at all BATTERY LOW is displayed on screen The battery does not charge in the handset or the handset battery does not accept charge Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly

(page 7). For optimum daily performance, return the cord-

less handset to the telephone base after use. Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not connected to a wall switch. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the modular wall jack. Unplug the telephones electrical power. Wait for approx-

imately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and base to synchronize. Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to purchase a new battery. Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a working telephone. If this telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the local service. Call the local telephone company. Place the handset in the base for recharging. Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally until fully discharged, then recharge the handset on the telephone base for 16 hours. If the above measures do not correct the problem, the battery may need to be replaced. Make sure the handset is placed in the telephone base correctly. The CHARGE light on the handset should be on. If the cordless handset is in the telephone base but the CHARGE light is not on, refer to The CHARGE light is off in this section. It may be necessary to purchase a new battery. Please refer to the Batteries section of this users manual. The telephone might be malfunctioning. Please refer to the Limited warranty section of this users manual for further instruction. 40 Appendix Troubleshooting The CHARGE light is off Clean the metallic charging contacts on the cordless hand-

set and telephone base each month using a pencil eraser or a dry non-abrasive fabric. Make sure the power adapter and telephone line cords are plugged in correctly and securely. Unplug the power adapter. Wait for 15 seconds before plugging it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to reset. The telephone might be malfunctioning. Please refer to the Limited warranty section of this users manual for further instruction. There is no dial tone First, try all the above suggestions. Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call It might be out of range. The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and connect a different telephone. If there is no dial tone on the telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company. Make sure the ringer is on (pages 11-12). Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (page 6). The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone base. There may be too many extension telephones on the tel-

ephone 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, cel-

lular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones. 41 Appendix Troubleshooting Test a working telephone at the same telephone jack. If another telephone has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone jack. Contact your local telephone com-

pany (charges may apply). The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord. Re-install the battery and place the cordless handset in the telephone base. Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place. The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move closer to the telephone base and try to answer the call. First, try all the above suggestions. Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is nor-

mal if the cordless handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing. Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode

(pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in your area. Refer to the Settings section of this users manual (page 11) to set the dial mode. 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 (charg-

es may apply). Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a televi-

sion, radio, or other appliances may cause the telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting the cordless hand-

set before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background noise. The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. 42 My phone rings but when I try to answer the call the handset screen shows CONNECTING I cannot dial out There is noise or interference dur-

ing a telephone conversation Appendix Troubleshooting My calls fade out or cut in and out when I am using the cordless hand-

set 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. 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. Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone. It is normal to experience static on your telephone while the microwave oven is operating. Do not install this telephone in the same outlet or near a microwave oven. If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protec-

tor) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-

locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector. The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception. Disconnect the telephone base from the modular 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 may apply). Select channels four through 10 for your router (refer to the users manual of your router for more information). 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). Do you have DSL service? If yes, you need to have a DSL filter installed at every telephone jack that has a telephone connected to it. Contact your DSL service provider for filter information. I hear other calls when using the telephone Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone 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. Time and day not set prompts You need to set the answering system clock (page 30). 43 Appendix Troubleshooting 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 may not be calling from an area which supports The system does not receive caller ID or the system does not display caller ID during call waiting Common cure for electronic equipment caller ID. Both you and the callers telephone companies must use equipment which are compatible with caller ID service. If you subscribe to DSL service, install a DSL filter to the telephone line between the telephone base and the telephone line jack. Contact your DSL service provider for filter information. Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting fea-

tures services provided by the local telephone company. The caller may not be calling from an area which sup-

ports caller ID. Both you and the callers telephone companies must use equipment which are compatible with caller ID service. If you subscribe to DSL service, install a DSL filter to the telephone line between the telephone base and the telephone line jack. Contact your DSL service provider for filter information. If the telephone is not responding normally, try putting the cordless handset in the telephone base. If it does not seem to respond, try the following (in the order listed):

1. Disconnect the power to the telephone base. 2. Disconnect the battery on the cordless handset. 3. Wait a few minutes before connecting power to the telephone base. 4. Re-install the battery and place the cordless handset into the telephone base . 5. Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize its con-

nection with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place. The announce-

ment message is not clear When recording the announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice about nine inches from the telephone base. Make sure there is no background noise (television, music, traffic, etc.) when recording. 44 Appendix Troubleshooting The answering system does not answer after the correct number of rings Make sure the answering system is on. When the answer-

ing system is on, the red light on the ANSWER ON key should be lit. If toll saver is activated, the number of rings changes to two when there are new messages waiting (page 32). If the memory is full or if the answering system is off, the system will answer after ten rings. If the memory is full, you need to delete some old messages in order to make room for new messages. In some cases, the answering system may be affected by the ringing system used by the local telephone company. Make sure the answering system is on. If the memory is full the system will answer after ten rings and announce Memory full. Enter remote access code. You need to delete some old messages in order to make room for new messages. The answering system does not record message The messages on the answer-

ing system are incomplete If a caller reaches the maximum recording time of four minutes, for each message, the system will disconnect and part of the message may be lost. If the caller pauses for more than seven seconds, the sys-

The messages on the system are very difficult to hear The answering system does not respond to remote com-

mands tem stops recording and disconnects the call. If the memory on the system becomes full during a mes-

sage, the system stops recording and disconnects the call. If the callers voice is very soft, the system may stop recording and disconnect the call. Press VOL on the telephone base to increase the speaker volume. Make sure your remote access code is correct (page 37). Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When dialing a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, then it is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system. The answering system may not detect the remote access code when your announcement is playing. Wait until the announcement is over before entering the code. There may be interference on the telephone line you are using. Press the dial pad keys firmly when dialing. 45 Appendix Important safety instructions This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions that may appear in this users manual.

nient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and handset by radio waves, so there is a possibil-

ity 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. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted. Power adapter: This power adapter is intended to be plugged into a vertical wall outlet or a floor outlet. Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such inter-

ference, 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 batter-

ies in order not to short the battery 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-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of in household garbage. 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-cadmium 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. Or you may call 1 (800) 8 BATTERY for locations accepting spent nickel-cadmium Batteries. 47 Appendix Important safety instructions 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 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. Or you may call 1 (800) 8 BATTERY for locations accepting spent nickel-metal Batteries. 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 had recommended 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. WTRs evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones. Especially about telephones answering systems Two-way recording: This telephone does not sound warning beeps to let the other party know that the call is being recorded.

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even when on another call. It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your tel-

ephone 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. You do not have any caller ID or call waiting services. This product can be used with regular caller ID service, or this products other features can be used without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There are fees for caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas. Depending on your service, you may see the callers number or the callers name and number. 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.

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 firmly into the telephone base and the modular wall jack. Unplug the units electrical power. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and base to synchronize. Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to purchase a new battery pack. Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a working telephone. If this telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the local service. Call the local telephone company. Place the handset in the base for recharging. Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally until fully dis-

charged, then recharge the handset on the telephone base for 16 hours. If the above measures do not correct the problem, the battery may need to be replaced. Make sure the handset is placed in the telephone base correctly. The CHARGE light on the telephone base should be on. If the cordless handset is in the telephone base but the CHARGE light is not on, refer to The CHARGE light is off in this section. It may be necessary to purchase a new battery. Please refer to the batteries section of this users manual. The telephone might be malfunctioning. Please refer to the Warranty section of this users manual for further instruction. 32 Appendix Troubleshooting TheCHARGE lightisoff Clean the metallic charging contacts on the cordless handsets and telephone base each month using a pencil eraser or a dry non-abra-

ephone company (charges may apply). Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless tel-

ephone. 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 same telephone jack. If another tel-

ephone hast he same problem, the problem is in the telephone 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 pack and place the cordless handset in the tel-

ephone base. Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the telephone base.

Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone. It is normal to experience static on your telephone while the micro-

wave oven is operating. Do not install this telephone in the same out-

let or near a microwave oven. If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different loca-

tion. If this solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector. The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Trying moving the base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception. 34 Appendix Troubleshooting Disconnect the telephone base from the modular 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 may apply). Select channels 4 through 10 for your router (refer to the users manu-

al of your router for more information). 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). Ihearother callswhenusing thetelephone. MycallerID featuresarenot workingprop-

Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless phone conversations as being as private as those on corded phones. Electrical power: The base unit of this cordless telephone must be con-

nected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the base unit is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted. Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequen-

cies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the base unit 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 short the battery 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-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of in household garbage. 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 indus-

try program to collect and recycle nickel-cadmium 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. Or you may call 1 (800) 8 BATTERY for loca-

tions accepting spent nickel-cadmium Batteries. 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. 37 Appendix Important safety instructions 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 had recommended to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker. Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON. Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker. WTRs evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless phones. Especially about telephones answering systems Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to let the other party know that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compli-

ance 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 call.
