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, go to www.vtechcanada.com or dial 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 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. 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 your telephone service provider.

Low Battery shows on screen.
Place the handset in the telephone base or charger for recharging. Remove and re-install the battery and use it until fully depleted, then recharge the handset in the telephone base or charger 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 or charger 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 or charger 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).
The CHARGE light is off or blinking.
Clean the charging contacts on the handset and telephone base each month with a pencil eraser or a dry non-abrasive fabric. Make sure the power adapter and telephone line cord 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 handset and telephone base to reset. A blinking CHARGE light is an indication that the battery is not connected to the handset or missing completely. Ensure that the battery is installed properly.

There is no dial tone.

First, try all the above suggestions. Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range. The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Install a new telephone line cord. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and connect a different telephone. If there is no dial tone on this telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your telephone service provider.
The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.
Make sure the handset ringer volume is not set to the lowest level (page 6). Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (page 2). The handset might be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone base. There might be too many extension phones on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Unplug 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 your telephone service provider. Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Install your telephone as far away as possible from electronic devices such as: wireless routers, radios, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones. Test a working telephone at the telephone wall jack. If another telephone has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone wall jack. Contact your telephone service provider. The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Install a new telephone line cord. Re-install the battery and place the handset in the telephone base or charger. Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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. Move closer to the telephone base, then press 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.

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 dry non-abrasive cloth. Do not use dampened cloth 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.
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.
