Important Safety Instructions  
Installing/Replacing the Battery  
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 instructions.  
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.  
3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or  
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.  
1. Slide the battery cover off by gently  
pressing on the recessed area with  
a downward motion.  
2. Unplug and remove the old battery.  
3. With the red and black wires at the  
bottom of the battery, angle the top  
of the battery into the compartment,  
under the claws. Next, press the  
lower end of the battery down, so it  
is held in place by the lower claw.  
Now, plug the connector into the  
socket, located below the battery.  
Slip the battery wires into the guide,  
located below and to the left of the  
socket.  
4. Do not use this product near water (for example, near a bath tub, kitchen sink  
or swimming pool).  
5. Do not place this product on an unstable surface, such as a table, shelf or  
stand. The product may fall, causing serious damage.  
6. Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the base unit and handset are  
provided for ventilation. To protect them from overheating, these openings  
must not be blocked by placing the product on a soft surface such as a bed,  
sofa or rug. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat  
register. This product should not be placed in any area where proper ventilation  
is not provided.  
7. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated  
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply in your  
home, consult your dealer or local power company.  
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product  
where the cord may have anyone walking on it.  
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through slots in the base or  
handset 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.  
4. Replace the battery cover by sliding  
it into place.  
5. The new battery must be charged  
before using your telephone. Place  
the handset in the base unit to allow  
it to charge for 15 hours. Maximum  
battery life between charges is approximately 3.75 hours of talk time or  
3.75 days of standby.  
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take  
it to an authorized service facility. Opening or removing parts of the 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 is subsequently used.  
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury, read and follow these  
instructions:  
1. Use only the VTech battery supplied, or equivalent.  
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and  
may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.  
3. Exercise care in handling battery in order not to short the battery with  
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or  
conductor may overheat and cause burns.  
11. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of  
fire or electric shock.  
12. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to an authorized  
service facility under the following conditions:  
A. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
B. If liquid has been spilled into the product.  
4. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may explode.  
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
D. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating  
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating  
instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in  
damage and often requires extensive work by an authorized technician  
to restore the product to normal operation.  
E. If the product has been dropped and the base and/or handset has been  
damaged.  
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.  
13. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There  
is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.  
14. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.  
15. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk  
mode.

messages. Use announcement only when you want to give information  
to callers without accepting messages.  
If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with  
a pre-recorded announcement.  
The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. Please

accepted.”

record an announcement up to 90 seconds long.  
3. Press PLAY/STOP. The system plays back your recorded message.  
To review your announcement at any time:  
1. Press MENU until you hear “Announcement. Press PLAY or press  
RECORD. To continue setup, press MENU.”
