Headset Operation  
Your GIGAPHONE 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 the GIGAPHONE.  
To purchase a Headset, call VTECH Customer Service at 1-800-595-9511.  
Once you have a compatible 2.5mm Headset, locate the Headset Jack on the  
GIGAPHONE 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 characteristics 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 Head-set  
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  
positioned at the corner of your mouth,  
about one inch from your face.  
Belt Clip  
The GIGAPHONE 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 GIGAPHONE  
Handset. The belt clip should snap  
securely into place. Do not force the  
connection.

Maintenance  
Taking Care Of Your Telephone  
Your GIGAPHONE 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.

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  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
11  
 
In Case Of Difficulty  
You Hear Other Calls While Using Your Phone  
Disconnect your Base Unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular  
telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring  
or local service. Call your local telephone company.  
You Hear Noise In The Handset, And None Of The Keys  
Or Buttons Work  
Make sure the power cord is plugged in.  
Common Cure For Electronic  
Equipment

normally, then try putting the Handset in  
the cradle. If it does not seem to respond,  
do the following (in the order listed) :

FCC and IC Regulations  
FCC Part 68  
The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nationwide  
telephone network through a modular telephone jack (USOC RJ11C, RJ11W or RJ14).  
Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment causes  
harm to the telephone network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection,  
if possible. During notification, you will be informed of your right to file a complaint  
with the FCC.  
Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,  
operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so,  
you will be given advance notice of the change to give you an opportunity to maintain  
uninterrupted service.  
The Base Unit contains no user serviceable parts. The Handset contains a user  
replaceable battery pack.  
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires  
that it not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem  
has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the  
manufacturer or its authorized agents or by others who may be authorized by the  
FCC. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the VTECH Limited  
Warranty.  
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the phone company  
or Party Lines.  
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your  
telephone line and still enable the devices to ring when you receive a call. The general  
rule is that the REN value should not exceed 5.0A total; however, contact your local  
telephone company for the specific number in your area.  
IC (Industry Canada)  
This telephone is registered for use in Canada.  
Notice :  
The REN assigned to this device denotes the number of devices you may connect  
to the telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent overloading The  
termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subjected only to  
the requirement that the sum of the REN does not exceed five (5.0)  
Notice :  
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means  
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational  
and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will  
operate to the user's satisfaction.  
16  
 
FCC and IC Regulations  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be  
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment  
must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should  
be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation  
of services in some situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian  
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by  
the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications  
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections  
of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present,  
are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.  
Caution :  
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact  
the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.  
Your GIGAPHONE is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the  
FCC and IC. This means your Handset and Base Unit can communicate only over  
a certain distance - which will depend on the location of the Base Unit and Handset,  
weather, and the construction and layout of your home or office.
