Getting started

Battery charging

Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see

the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the telephone base or charger

to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone

base or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 10 hours of

continuous charging. See the table on page 52 for battery operating times.

If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for

at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for

a short time. When the battery is low, the handset plays four short beeps and

shows LOW BATTERY along with a flashing icon. When you are on a call in

low battery mode, the handset plays four short beeps every 50 seconds.

The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.

of the wall mount bracket and plug it into the telephone wall jack. Route the

power cord out of the bottom of the telephone and plug it into an electrical

outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

Getting started

Rewiring of telephone line for cable/VoIP service users

If you have changed to cable/VoIP service through a modem/router/terminal

adapter to establish telephone connection, the existing telephone jacks in your

home may no longer work. Your cable/VoIP service provider uses a seperate

cable connecting from the main line to the modem installed in your home.

To allow all existing telephone jacks to work, rewiring of the telephone line (as

indicated by the dotted line in the illustration below) may be needed. Rewiring

requires professional installation (fees may apply). Contact your cable/VoIP

service provider for more information.

Caller ID

About caller ID

This product supports caller ID service offered by most telephone service

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

The available caller ID information will appear after the first 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 call, 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 service).

•

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

You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting service.

There may be 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 service provider use compatible

equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone service provider 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.

You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this

product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined

caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID

Call log

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

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

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

•

The call log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the

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

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

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

•

Call log entries are shared by all system handsets. Any modifications made on

one handset apply to all.

•

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 CALLS shows when there are new call log entries that have not

been reviewed.

•

CALL LOG EMPTY shows when you access the call log without records.

•

Only one handset can review the call log at a time. If a handset tries to enter

the call log while another handset is already in it, its screen displays

NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

•

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 35).

•

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

the call log.

Caller ID

Missed call indicator

When there are calls that have not been reviewed, the idle handset shows

XX MISSED CALLS.

Each time you review a call log entry marked NEW, the number of missed calls

decrease by one.

When you have reviewed all the missed calls, the missed calls indicator no

longer shows.

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

OFF/CANCEL on an idle handset to erase the missed call indicator. All entries

are then considered old and kept in the call log.

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 into your directory.

The number shown in the call log is in the format sent by the telephone service

provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers ten-digit telephone

numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the last seven digits of the

incoming telephone number does not match a number in your directory, the

name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.

Answering system operation

Answering system and voicemail indicators

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 (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in answering system

messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new

messages differently.

•

If XX NEW MESSAGES and

display on the handset and the message

window on the telephone base flashes, there are new messages recorded

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

(page 44) or /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 44) to listen.

•

If NEW VOICEMAIL and

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 security code or PIN.

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.

Using the answering machine and voicemail together

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.

Answering system operation

Voice prompts

The system provides voice prompts to guide you through recording

announcement and remote access.

The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length

of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes see page 40

to change the length. The total recording time 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.

If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full.” The

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 office.

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 might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might 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 might be interference.

To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.

Appendix

Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

•

Your 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 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 sometime cause power surge harmful to electronic equipment. For your own

safety, take 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 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 the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG

THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the telephone

out by the unplugged cords.

Appendix

About cordless telephones

•

Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations.

Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the cordless handset by radio

waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by

radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think

of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.

•

Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working

electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made

from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged, 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.

VTech’s participation in RBRC^®makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local retailers

participating in the RBRC^®program or at authorized VTech product service centers. Please call
