The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. Do you have DSL service? If yes, you need to have a DSL filter installed at every telephone wall jack that has a telephone connected to it (page 2). Contact your DSL service provider for filter information. 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. 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. 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 will improve 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 may 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 may apply).

The answering system does not answer after the number of rings which I programmed it.
Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, the red light on the ANS ON/OFF key should be lit. If Toll Saver is activated, the number of rings changes to two when there are new messages waiting (page 35). If the memory is full or if the answering system is off, the system will answer after ten rings.

About caller ID

The caller ID with call waiting feature in this telephone lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even when already on a call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company. 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; or you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to subscribe. You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and these services may not be available in all areas. The caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

Call log

Due to regional service differences, the caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. In addition, the callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. For call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, in order to view the entire number you must save the entry to the directory. For information on saving call log entries to the directory, see page 29.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller will be displayed after the first or second ring. The call log can store up to 50 entries. Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or displayed in the call log. If the phone number has more than 15 but fewer than 24 digits, only the last 15 digits will be shown. If the name is longer than 15 characters, only the first 15 characters will be shown and saved in the call log. You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory. Entries are displayed in reverse chronological order, i.e. from the most recent entry to the earliest entry. When the call log is full, the earliest entry is deleted to make room for new incoming call information. XX MISSED CALL(S) will be displayed if there are new call log entries (including missed and unreviewed calls). CALL LOG EMPTY will be displayed if there are no records in the call log. Only one handset can review the call log at a time. If a handset attempts to enter the call log while another handset is already in it, NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME will be displayed.

Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below. For Customer Service, visit our website at www.vtechphones.com, or call 1 (800) 595-9511; in Canada, call 1 (800) 267-7377. Problem
My telephone does not work at all.

Suggestion

Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (page 3). For optimum daily performance, return the handset to the telephone base or charger 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. 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 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.

If Toll Saver is activated, the number of rings changes to two when there are new messages waiting (page 35). If the memory is full or if the answering system is off, the system will answer after ten rings. In some cases, the answering system will be affected by the ringing system used by the local telephone company.
