Important safety instructions
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the following:
1. Read and understand all ꢀnstructꢀons.
2. Follow all warnꢀngs and ꢀnstructꢀons marked on the product.
3. Unplug thꢀs product from the wall outlet before cleanꢀng. Do not use lꢀquꢀd or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleanꢀng.
4. Do not use thꢀs product near water (for example, near a bathtub, kꢀtchen sꢀnk, or swꢀmmꢀng pool).
5. Do not place thꢀs product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces.
6. Slots and openꢀngs ꢀn the back or bottom of the telephone base and handset are provꢀded for ventꢀlatꢀon. To protect them from overheatꢀng, these openꢀngs
must not be blocked by placꢀng the product on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or rug. Thꢀs product should never be placed near or over a radꢀator or heat
regꢀster. Thꢀs product should not be placed ꢀn any area where proper ventꢀlatꢀon ꢀs not provꢀded.
7. Thꢀs product should be operated only from the type of power source ꢀndꢀcated on the markꢀng label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply ꢀn your
home, consult your dealer or local power company.
8. Do not allow anythꢀng to rest on the power cord. Do not ꢀnstall thꢀs product where the cord may be walked on.
9. Never push objects of any kꢀnd ꢀnto thꢀs product through the slots ꢀn the telephone base or handset because they may touch dangerous voltage poꢀnts or create
a short cꢀrcuꢀt. Never spꢀll lꢀquꢀd of any kꢀnd on the product.
10. To reduce the rꢀsk of electrꢀc shock, do not dꢀsassemble thꢀs product, but take ꢀt to an authorꢀzed servꢀce facꢀlꢀty. Openꢀng or removꢀng parts of the telephone
base or handset other than specified access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock
when the product ꢀs subsequently used.
11. Do not overload wall outlets and extensꢀon cords.
12. Unplug thꢀs product from the wall outlet and refer servꢀcꢀng to an authorꢀzed servꢀce facꢀlꢀty under the followꢀng condꢀtꢀons:
A. When the power supply cord or plug ꢀs damaged or frayed.
B. If lꢀquꢀd has been spꢀlled onto the product.
C. If the product has been exposed to raꢀn or water.
D. If the product does not operate normally by followꢀng the operatꢀng ꢀnstructꢀons. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operatꢀon ꢀnstructꢀons.
Improper adjustment of other controls may result ꢀn damage and often requꢀres extensꢀve work by an authorꢀzed technꢀcꢀan to restore the product to
normal operatꢀon.
E. If the product has been dropped and the telephone base and/or handset has been damaged.
F. If the product exhꢀbꢀts a dꢀstꢀnct change ꢀn performance.
13. Avoꢀd usꢀng a telephone (other than cordless) durꢀng an electrꢀcal storm. There ꢀs a remote rꢀsk of electrꢀc shock from lꢀghtnꢀng.
14. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak ꢀn the vꢀcꢀnꢀty of the leak.
15. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when ꢀt ꢀs ꢀn normal talk mode.
16. The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is
plugged ꢀnto a ceꢀlꢀng or an under-the-table/cabꢀnet outlet.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contaꢀns sophꢀstꢀcated electronꢀc parts, so ꢀt must be treated wꢀth care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the orꢀgꢀnal packꢀng materꢀals to protect your telephone ꢀf you ever need to shꢀp ꢀt.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged ꢀf ꢀt gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors ꢀn the raꢀn, or handle ꢀt wꢀth wet hands. Do not ꢀnstall the telephone base near a
sꢀnk, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrꢀcal storms can sometꢀmes cause power surges harmful to electronꢀc equꢀpment. For your own safety, take cautꢀon when usꢀng electrꢀcal applꢀances durꢀng storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastꢀc casꢀng that should retaꢀn ꢀts luster for many years. Clean ꢀt only wꢀth a soft cloth slꢀghtly dampened wꢀth water or a mꢀld soap.
Do not use excess water or cleanꢀng solvents of any kꢀnd.
Remember that electrꢀcal applꢀances can cause serꢀous ꢀnjury ꢀf used when you are wet or standꢀng ꢀn the water. If the telephone base should fall ꢀnto the water, DO
NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unꢀt out by the unplugged cords.

About cordless telephones
•
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenꢀent create some lꢀmꢀtatꢀons. Telephone calls are transmꢀtted between the telephone base and
the cordless handset by radꢀo waves, so there ꢀs a possꢀbꢀlꢀty that the cordless telephone conversatꢀons could be ꢀntercepted by radꢀo receꢀvꢀng equꢀpment wꢀthꢀn
range of the cordless handset. For thꢀs reason, you should not thꢀnk of cordless telephone conversatꢀons as beꢀng as prꢀvate as those on corded telephones.
•
•
Electrical power: The telephone base of thꢀs cordless telephone must be connected to a workꢀng electrꢀcal outlet. The electrꢀcal outlet should not be controlled
by a wall swꢀtch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset ꢀf the telephone base ꢀs unplugged or swꢀtched off, or ꢀf the electrꢀcal power ꢀs ꢀnterrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencꢀes that may cause ꢀnterference to televꢀsꢀons and VCRs. To mꢀnꢀmꢀze or prevent
such ꢀnterference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If ꢀnterference ꢀs experꢀenced, movꢀng the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR wꢀll often reduce or elꢀmꢀnate the ꢀnterference.

generates, uses and can radꢀate radꢀo frequency energy and, ꢀf not ꢀnstalled and used ꢀn accordance wꢀth the ꢀnstructꢀons, may cause harmful ꢀnterference to radꢀo
communꢀcatꢀons. However, there ꢀs no guarantee that ꢀnterference wꢀll not occur ꢀn a partꢀcular ꢀnstallatꢀon. If thꢀs equꢀpment does cause harmful ꢀnterference to
radꢀo or televꢀsꢀon receptꢀon, whꢀch can be determꢀned by turnꢀng the equꢀpment off and on, the user ꢀs encouraged to try to correct the ꢀnterference by one or
more of the followꢀng measures:
•
•
•
•
Reorꢀent or relocate the receꢀvꢀng antenna.
Increase the separatꢀon between the equꢀpment and receꢀver.
Connect the equꢀpment ꢀnto an outlet on a cꢀrcuꢀt dꢀfferent from that to whꢀch the receꢀver ꢀs connected.
Consult the dealer or an experꢀenced radꢀo/TV technꢀcꢀan for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equꢀpment.
Thꢀs devꢀce complꢀes wꢀth Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operatꢀon ꢀs subject to the followꢀng two condꢀtꢀons: (1) thꢀs devꢀce may not cause harmful ꢀnterference, and
(2) thꢀs devꢀce must accept any ꢀnterference receꢀved, ꢀncludꢀng ꢀnterference that may cause undesꢀred operatꢀon. Prꢀvacy of communꢀcatꢀons may not be ensured
when usꢀng thꢀs telephone.
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has establꢀshed crꢀterꢀa for the amount of radꢀo frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander accordꢀng
to the ꢀntended usage of the product. Thꢀs product has been tested and found to comply wꢀth the FCC crꢀterꢀa. The handset may be safely held agaꢀnst the ear of
the user. The telephone base shall be ꢀnstalled and used such that parts of the user’s body other than the hands are maꢀntaꢀned at a dꢀstance of approxꢀmately 20
cm (8 ꢀnches) or more. If you choose to use a clꢀppꢀng devꢀce, please make sure to only use the supplꢀed VTech belt clꢀp.
Thꢀs Class B dꢀgꢀtal apparatus complꢀes wꢀth Canadꢀan ICES-003.
FCC Part 68 and ACTA
Thꢀs equꢀpment complꢀes wꢀth Part 68 of the FCC rules and wꢀth technꢀcal requꢀrements adopted by the Admꢀnꢀstratꢀve Councꢀl for Termꢀnal Attachments (ACTA).
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. This identifier must be
provꢀded to your local telephone company upon request.
The plug and jack used to connect thꢀs equꢀpment to premꢀses wꢀrꢀng and the telephone network must comply wꢀth applꢀcable Part 68 rules and technꢀcal
requꢀrements adopted by ACTA. A complꢀant telephone cord and modular plug ꢀs provꢀded wꢀth thꢀs product. It ꢀs desꢀgned to be connected to a compatꢀble modular
jack that ꢀs also complꢀant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for connectꢀng to a sꢀngle lꢀne and an RJ14 jack for two lꢀnes. See Installatꢀon Instructꢀons ꢀn the
user’s manual.
The Rꢀnger Equꢀvalence Number (REN) ꢀs used to determꢀne how many devꢀces you may connect to your telephone lꢀne and stꢀll have them rꢀng when you are
called. The REN for this product is encoded as the 6th and 7th characters following the US: in the product identifier (e.g., if ## is 03, the REN is 0.3). In most, but
not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more information, please contact your local telephone company.
Thꢀs equꢀpment may not be used wꢀth Party Lꢀnes. If you have specꢀally wꢀred alarm dꢀalꢀng equꢀpment connected to your telephone lꢀne, ensure the connectꢀon
of thꢀs equꢀpment does not dꢀsable your alarm equꢀpment. If you have questꢀons about what wꢀll dꢀsable alarm equꢀpment, consult your telephone company or a
