About caller ID  
This product supports caller ID services provide by most local telephone  
service companies. Depending on your service subscription, you may see  
the caller’s number, or the caller’s 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.  
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 do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.  
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be  
available in all areas.  
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.  
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.

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

Troubleshooting  
If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.  
1 (800) 595-9511; in Canada, call 1 (800) 267-7377.  
My telephone does not work at all.  
• Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (page 3). For optimum daily  
performance, return the handset to the telephone base after use.  
• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a  
wall switch.  
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the  
telephone wall jack.  
• Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 15  
seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and  
telephone base to synchronize.  
Charge the battery in the handset for up to 16 hours.  
• If the battery is completely depleted, it can take up to 10 minutes to charge the  
handset before LOW BATTERY appears on the screen (page 3).  
Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work, it might be necessary to  
purchase a new battery.  
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working  
telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the  
wiring or the local service. Call the local telephone company.  
LOW BATTERY shows on screen.  
• Place the handset in the telephone base for recharging.  
• Remove and re-install the battery and use it until fully depleted, then recharge the  
handset in the telephone base for up to 16 hours.  
• If the above measures do not correct the problem, replace the battery.  
The battery does not charge in the handset or the handset battery does  
not accept charge.  
• Make sure the handset is placed in the telephone base correctly. The CHARGE light  
on the handset should be on.  
• Remove and reinstall the battery, then charge for up to 16 hours.  
• If the handset is in the telephone base but the CHARGE light on the handset is not  
on, refer to The CHARGE light is off in this section.  
• If the battery is completely depleted, it can take up to 10 minutes to charge the  
handset before LOW BATTERY appears on the screen (page 3).  
• Purchase a new battery. Refer to the Battery section (page 27).

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  
the call.  
. Move closer to the telephone base, then press  
to answer  
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.  
To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.  
Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.  
Avoid rough treatment  
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if  
you ever need to ship it.  
Avoid water  
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or  
handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.  
Electrical storms  
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your  
own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.  
Cleaning your telephone  
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean  
it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or 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.

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.  
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

merchantability (an unwritten warranty that the Product is fit for ordinary use) are limited to one  
year from the date of purchase. Some states/provinces do not allow limitations on how long an

limited to lost profits or revenue, inability to use the Product or other associated equipment, the  
cost of substitute equipment, and claims by third parties) resulting from the use of this Product.

Appendix  
FCC, ACTA and IC regulations  
FCC Part 15  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a Class B digital  
device under Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These requirements  
are intended to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not  
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which  
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is  
connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for  
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two  
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept  
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy  
of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone.  
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy  
that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according to the intended usage of the product.  
This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC criteria. The handset may be safely  
held against the ear of the user. The telephone base shall be installed and used such that parts of  
the user’s body other than the hands are maintained at a distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches)  
or more.  
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.  
FCC Part 68 and ACTA  
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and with technical requirements adopted by  
the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). The label on the back or bottom of this  
equipment contains, among other things, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.  
This identifier must be provided to your local telephone company upon request.  
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to premises wiring and the telephone network  
must comply with applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant  
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a  
compatible modular jack that is also compliant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting  
to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines. See Installation Instructions in the user’s manual.  
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many devices you may connect  
to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. The REN for this product is  
encoded as the 6th and 7th characters following the US: in the product identifier (e.g., if ## is 03,  
the REN is 0.3). In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more  
information, please contact your local telephone company.  
This equipment may not be used with Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing  
equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not  
disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment,  
consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.  
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem has  
been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its  
authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the Limited Warranty.
