In Case Of Difficulty

If you have difficulty operating your phone, the suggestions below should solve

the problem. If you still have difficulty after trying

these suggestions, call

VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH Electronics

at 1-800-267-7377.

 

The Phone Doesn't Work At All

 

Make sure the Power Cord is plugged in.

 

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 BATTERY'

 

message is shown, the battery pack needs charging.

Is the Handset registered to the Base? See Registration and Operation.

No Dial Tone

 

First check all the suggestions above.

 

If you still don't 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. Contact your local

 

telephone company.

 

You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak Signal Even When You're Near The

Base Unit

 

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 You're Away From

The Base Unit

 

You may be out of range. Either move closer to the Base, or relocate the

 

Base Unit.

 

The layout of your home may be limiting the range. Try moving the Base

 

Unit to another position.

 

The Handset Does Not Ring When You Receive A Call

Make sure you have the Handset ringer activated. To set the ringer, see

 

HANDSET SETTINGS and BASE SETTINGS.

 

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.

InformationAdditional

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.
