ADDITIONAL OPERATING TIPS

Noise Or Interference

Your VT 1962 cordless telephone has auto-channel scan circuitry which will detect excess noise and change the channel of the phone to reduce it. This is done automatically.

Since the VT 1962 is a fully digital phone, it does not suffer from noise associated with regular cordless phones. At times you may experience occasional "drop outs", especially at the extreme edges of the phone's range. Simply move closer to the Base unit and this will disappear.

Automatic Security Coding

Your VT 1962 phone is factory set with

16.8million possible security codes. This unique security code allows your Handset and Base to recognize each other, and minimizes the possibility of another cordless phone using your telephone line.

Out Of Range Indication

If the Handset is moved to a point where the Base and Handset can no longer communicate, the Handset will make a quick series of beeps to signal Out of Range.

If the Handset is active when taken out-of-range, it will beep twice a second and enter standby mode after 25 seconds if the link is not reestablished. If the Handset is brought back within range, it will automatically re-link.

For out-of-range in standby mode, the Handset will beep once and then at 15 second intervals, will display "CHANNEL SEARCHING" on the LCD, and scan all channels in an attempt to re-link with the Base.

Out Of Range When Phone Is On

If you are presently engaged in a phone conversation move closer to the Base. If the Base Unit does not communicate with the Handset within 25 seconds of losing contact, it will automatically hang up.

Out Of Range When PHONE Is

OFF

If the phone is OFF, the Handset and Base still monitor each other to make sure that they can communicate. If the Handset is moved out of range, the Handset will make a series of beeps, and will then display "CHANNEL SEARCHING" on the LCD. At 15 second intervals the Handset will scan all channels in an attempt to reestablish communication with the Base. This process does not require user intervention; the Handset will re-link with the Base automatically once it is brought back within range. The unit will then be able to receive and place calls.

When the Base Unit is unplugged from the power supply, the Handset will give the "Out of Range" warning beep. Plug the Base in again and this will stop.
