ADDITIONAL OPERATING TIPS

HEADSET OPERATION

NOISE OR INTERFERENCE

Your VTech VT1922 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 VTech VT1922 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 VTech VT1922 phone is factory set with 16.8 million 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.

Your Vtech cordless phone is equipped with a 2.5mm Headset Jack for use with an optional accessory

Headset for hands-free operation.

If you choose to use the Headset option, you must obtain an optional accessory Headset, which is compat- ible with the Vtech cordless phone.

To purchase a Headset, call VTech at 1-800-595-9511.

Once you have a compatible 2.5mm Headset, locate the Headset Jack on the Vtech cordless phone Handset. Connect the plug on the Headset cord to the jack on the cordless Handset. The plug should fit securely. Do not force the connection.

OPERATION

NOTE: Whenever a compatible Headset is connected to the cordless Handset, the microphone on the Hand- set will be muted. This is done to limit the effect of background noise.

The following operational char- acteristics apply to Vtech Headsets. The same may also apply to other, non- Vtech supplied headsets, but Vtech assumes no responsibility for their performance.

The Vtech brand compatible Headset has a reversible, monaural design. You can wear your Headset on either ear, leaving one ear free for room conversation.

The headband can be adjusted to fit the contour of your head. Using

both hands, slide the headband up or down so that it rests comfortably on your head, with the speaker cushion centered against your ear.

For maximum sound quality, the flexible microphone should be posi- tioned at the corner of your mouth, about one inch from your face.

BELT CLIP

The Vtech cordless phone is also equipped with a detachable belt clip. Align the pins on the inside edge of the clip with the notches on the sides of the Vtech cordless phone Handset. The belt clip should snap securely into place. Do not force the connection.
