your telephone if you ever need to ship it.  
Avoid water  
Yourtelephonecanbedamagedifitgetswet.DonotusetheHandsetoutdoors  
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.  
Foryourownsafety,usecautionwhenusingelectricappliancesduringstorms.  
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  
theproblem.Ifyoustillhavedifficulty 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.  
Is the Handset registered to the Base? See Registration.  
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  
cansometimescauseinterference. TrymovingtheapplianceortheBase  
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.  
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.  
Youmayhavetoomanyextensionphonesonyourtelephonelinetoallow  
all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of the other phones.  
11  
 
In Case Of Difficulty  
Your Handset vibrates or shakes when a call comes in  
It is likely that your Vibrating Handset Ringer option has been set to ON.  
If you’d like to turn it off, see VT5831 User’s Manual - Handset  
Settings - VIBRATE CONTROL, on page 22.  
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.
