TAKING CARE OF YOUR TEL-
EPHONE.
Your VTech VT 1910c cordless
telephone contains sophisticated
electronic parts, so it must be treated
with care.
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.
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.
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.
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
1-800-624-5688. In Canada, call
VTECH Electronics at 604-273-51 31.
THE
PHONE DOESN'T WORK AT
ALL.
Make sure the Power Cord is
PKlged
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
WEAKSIGNAL 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 close 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
"PROGRAMMING THE
RINGER"
on page 21.
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.
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 INTHE HANDSET,
AND NONE OF THE KEYS OR
BUTTONS WORK.
Make sure the power cord is plugged
in.
