INSTALLATION OF BATTERY PACK IN HANDSET  
The Handset of your VT 9123/9126 is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. It charges  
automatically whenever the Handset is in the Base Unit. The battery pack needs charging  
when:  
The low battery icon and message are displayed:  
A double beep will be generated every 5 seconds.  
To charge the battery pack, place the Handset in the Base Unit. The IN USE/CHARGE  
indicator will light to show the Handset is seated properly and the battery pack is charging. It  
is recommended that the battery pack should be charged for at least 16 hours initially.  
Afterwards, 8 hours of maintenance charging should be sufficient.  
To replace the battery pack, follow the steps below:  
1. Remove the battery case cover by pressing on the ridged lines and sliding downward.  
2. Discard the old battery pack by pulling firmly on the battery cords. Don’t put the old  
battery pack in a trash compactor or a fire - it could burst. Please recycle.  
3. Snap in the new battery pack, with the wires in the lower left corner. Insert the battery  
plug into the socket, aligning the two holes in the plug with the socket pins.  
4. Place the cord in the case so it rests below the battery pack.  
5. Replace the battery case cover by sliding the cover  
upwards.  
6. Place the Handset in the cradle of the Base Unit to allow  
it to charge for 16 hours.  
CAUTION: To Reduce the Risk of Fire or Injury, Read and  
Follow the Instructions  
IMPORTANT:  
Do not dispose of this battery pack into household garbage.  
For information on recycling or proper disposal, consult your  
local solid waste collection or disposal organization.  
1. Use only VTech rechargeable battery pack, or equivalent.  
2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may  
explode.  
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released  
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes  
or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.  
4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the  
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets,  
and keys. The battery pack or conductor may overheat and  
cause burns.

care.

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.

NO DIALTONE.  
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.

FROMTHE BASE UNIT.  
You may be out of range. Either move close to the base, or relocate the base unit.

FCC & 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, opera-  
tion, 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 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 5.0 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 Ringer Equivalence Number(REN) assigned to each terminal device denotes  
the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the  
device, to prevent overloading. The termination of a loop may consist of any combination of  
devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalent Numbers of all  
devices not exceed 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.  
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.  
26  
 
FCC & IC REGULATIONS  
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 VTech VT 9123/9126 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.
