8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where  
the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.  
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may  
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or  
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.  
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to

Calls Log (Caller ID - Call Waiting)  
Caller ID - Call Waiting ID  
Your VT2625 is capable of displaying the name and/or number of the party calling  
before you answer the phone (Caller ID). If the number of the Caller ID is contained by  
the phone book, the name contained in the received CID will be replaced by the name  
in the phone book. It is also capable of displaying Caller ID information in conjunction  
with a Call Waiting alert signal (Call Waiting Caller ID).With Call Waiting Caller ID, the  
Caller ID data is displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or  
continue with your current conversation.Your VT2625 can hold up to 50 CID entries.  
NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALLWAITING CALLER ID  
These are subscription services, provided by most telephone service  
providers. You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these  
features. If you do not subscribe to Caller ID services, you can still use your VT2625  
and the other features it offers.  
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be available for  
every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally block  
their name and/or phone number from being sent.  
As new Caller ID/Call Waiting ID records  
are received, your Handsets' displays will  
alert you to the new Caller ID records, for  
example:  
VTECH

After you review all new Caller ID  
records, the NEW call indication will be

Headset Operation  
Your cordless telephone 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 compatible with this  
product.  
To purchase a Headset, call VTECH Customer Service at 852-2776 3223.  
Once you have a compatible 2.5mm Headset, locate the Headset Jack on the Handset.  
Connect the plug on the Headset cord to the jack (under a small rubber flap) on the  
cordless Handset. The plug should fit securely. Do not force the connection.  
NOTE:  
Whenever a compatible Headset is  
connected to the cordless Handset,  
the microphone on the Handset will  
be muted. This is done to limit the effect  
of background noise.  
When a compatible Headset is  
connected to the cordless Handset,  
your Speakerphone feature will be  
disabled. To use your Speakerphone  
feature, simply disconnect the  
Headset from the Handset.  
Belt Clip  
The 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 Handset. The belt clip  
should snap securely into place. Do not  
force the connection.

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  
customer service at 852-2776 3223.  
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 battery cells are properly charged. If the ‘LOW BATTERY’ message  
is shown, the the battery cells need charging.  
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 ringers activated. To set the ringer, see HANDSET 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.  
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.  
You Hear Other Calls While Using Your Phone  
Disconnect your Base Unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a corded telephone.  
If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service.  
Call your local telephone company.

In Case Of Difficulty  
You Hear Noise In The Handset, And None Of The Keys Or Buttons  
Work  
• Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

cradle. If it does not seem to respond, do the following (in the order listed):  
1. Disconnect the power to the Base.  
2. Disconnect the Handset battery cells.  
3. Wait a few minutes.  
4. Connect power to the 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 your Base Unit near a sink, bathtub or  
shower.  
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.  
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.
