IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

TAKING CARE OF YOUR TELEPHONE. Your VTECH 9112 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 your base unit near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If your base unit should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE

IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Electrical Storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment.

For your own safety, use caution when using electric 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 soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

AUTOMATIC SECURITY CODING

Your VT9112 phone is factory set with one of

1,048,576 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. The security code will be kept

even in case of power failure or handset battery

being disconnected.

If you have difficulty operating your phone, the suggestions below should solve the problem. If you still have difficulty after trying these

suggestions,

In the US call:

VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511.

In the Canada call:

VTECH Electronics at

1-800-267-7377.

*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 handset battery is installed. If the base CHARGING LED flashes when handset is put onto the base, then handset battery may not be inserted well.

1.Remove battery from handset.

2.Replace battery in handset.

3.Place the handset in the charge cradle. Wait 60 seconds.

Pick up the handset and press PHONE.

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. Call your local telephone company.

YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A WEAK SIGNAL WHEN YOU’RE NEAR THE BASE UNIT.

*Place the handset in the base momentarily to reset the security code. Then press PHONE to get a line.

Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base unit can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the apppliance 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 close to the base, or relocate the base unit.

*The layout of your home may be limiting the range. Try moving the base unit to the second or third floor.

THE HANDSET DOES NOT RING WHEN YOU RECEIVE A CALL.

*Make sure your handset ringer is turned on.
