INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have purchased one of the best performing cordless telephones on the market! The VTECH 914 ADLi is a single line 900 MHz cordless phone. The VTECH 914 ADLi has automatic security code reset. This means that one of more than 65 thousand possible digital security codes is randomly selected every time the handset is placed in the base unit. The handset and base unit will recognize each other based on this security code which minimizes the chances of another cordless phone using your telephone line. The base unit stores the current security code and channel in memory even if the unit is unplugged. The VTECH 914 ADLi base unit includes an Integrated Telephone Answering Device (ITAD). The ITAD uses digital memory to record messages, eliminating the need for cassette tapes. You can access your messages from the base unit, or from a remote location. All programming and remote operation functions are guided by a voice menu system. Other special features are: 10 Number Speed Dial Memory 10 Channels of operation Automatic Search for Available Channel Manual Channel Change on Handset PAGE from Base to Handset REDIAL feature Programmable Ringer Types Low Battery Detect and Warning indicator Hearing Aid Compatible Receiver Easy answer - when the phone rings simply press any key on the handset to answer (except OFF). Removable battery pack Extra Battery Charger in the base unit Touch Tone and Pulse Dialing Temporary Tone Mode

ITAD Features: Up to 12 minutes recording time. Voice menu for local or remote operation. Day and time stamp for incoming messages. Auto disconnect stops ITAD from answering call when an extension is picked up. Variable speed message playback. Selective message delete allows you to keep important messages. Message length control; stops recording after 7 seconds of silence. Messages and ITAD settings will be retained even after power failure. Ring pick-up selection; unit can be set to pick-up after 2 rings, 4 rings, 6 rings or Toll-saver. Call screening selection. Message scan available. Room monitoring option for remote operation. Memo recording capability. Programmable security code for remote operation. Volume control with 4 levels for the ITAD speaker. 3 individual and 1 public mailbox for personalized message storage and retrieval. This manual is designed to familiarize you with the VTECH 914 ADLi. To get the most use out of your VTECH 914 ADLi , we strongly recommend you read the manual before using your phone.

Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone wall jack. Make sure the batteries are properly charged. If the LOW BATT indicator is on, the battery needs charging. If the IN USE indicators do not light when you press PHONE, you must charge the batteries. If you recently installed a new battery pack, make sure it is installed correctly. NO DIAL TONE. First check all the suggestions above. If you still dont hear a dial tone, disconnect the base unit from the telephone jack and connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company. YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A WEAK SIGNAL EVEN WHEN YOURE NEAR THE BASE UNIT. Place the handset in the base momentarily to re-set the security code. Then press PHONE to get a line. Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base unit can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base unit to another outlet. YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A WEAK SIGNAL WHEN YOURE AWAY FROM THE BASE UNIT. You may be out of range. Either move close to the base, or relocate the base unit. The layout of your home may be limiting the range. Try moving the base unit to the second or third floor, or to some other location. THE HANDSET DOES NOT RING WHEN YOU RECEIVE A CALL. Ensure that the ringer is turned on. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in. You may be too far from the base unit. You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of the other phones. YOUR CALLER FADES IN AND OUT. You may be nearly out of range. Move closer, or relocate the base. YOU HEAR OTHER CALLS WHILE USING YOUR PHONE. Replace the handset in the base cradle, wait a few moments and try again. Disconnect your base unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.

YOU HEAR NOISE IN THE HANDSET, AND NONE OF THE KEYS OR BUTTONS WORK. Make sure the power cord is plugged in. Your base unit and handset may not be operating on the same channel or security code. Place the handset in the cradle for a few moments to reload the security code and reset the channel. COMMON CURE FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT Electronics, like people, can sometimes get confused.
