Getting started  
Battery charging  
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status  
(see the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the telephone base  
or charger to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in  
the telephone base or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged  
after 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 45 for battery  
operating times.  
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for  
at least 10 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone  
for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset beeps four times every  
minute, shows LOW BATTerY and a flashing icon. If you are on a call in  
low battery mode, the handset has four short beeps to alert you.  
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions  
to take.

Installation options  
Your telephone base is ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your  
telephone on a wall, use the provided wall mount bracket to connect with  
a standard dual-stud telephone wall mounting plate. If you do not have  
this mounting plate, you can purchase one from many hardware or  
consumer electronics retailers. You may need a professional to install the  
mounting plate.  
Tabletop to wall mount installation  
1. Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the TeL LINe jack on the  
bottom of the telephone base. Plug the small end of the power adapter into  
the POWer jack on the bottom of the telephone base.  
2. Position the telephone base as shown below. Insert the extended tabs of  
the wall mount bracket into the slots on the back of the telephone base.  
Push the telephone base down until it clicks securely in place.  
3. Route the telephone line cord through the wall mount bracket hole and plug  
it into the telephone wall jack. Route the power cord out of the bottom of the  
telephone and plug it into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.  
4. Align the holes on the bracket with the standard wall plate and slide the  
bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the telephone line cord and  
power adapter cord neatly with a twist tie.

About caller ID  
This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service  
providers. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s  
number, or the caller’s name and number that are sent by your telephone  
service provider after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the  
name, number, date and time of calls.  
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the  
caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.  
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature.  
Contact your telephone service provider if:  
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may  
need to combine these services).  
• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.  
• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.  
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be  
available in all areas.  
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in  
areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use  
compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by your telephone service  
provider along with the call information.  
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this  
product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined  
caller ID with call waiting service.

number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the  
corresponding name in your directory.  
For example, if Elizabeth Jones calls, her name appears as LIZ if this is how  
you entered into your directory.  
The number shown by your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service  
provider. Thetelephoneserviceproviderusuallydeliversten-digittelephonenumbers  
(area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not  
exactly match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the  
telephone service provider. For example, if the telephone service provider includes  
the area code and the directory number does not, the name appears as delivered  
by the telephone service provider.  
Call log  
If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller will appear  
after the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller information  
appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.  
• The call log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the  
phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the phone number has  
more than 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has more  
than 15 characters, only the first 15 characters are shown and saved in the  
call log.  
• You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory.  
• Entries appear in reverse chronological order.  
• When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to  
make room for new incoming call information.

Answering system operation  
Answering system and voicemail  
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice  
messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your  
service provider’s voicemail. Your telephone’s built-in answering system  
messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new  
messages differently.  
If  
and NeW VOICeMAIL display on the handset, your telephone  
service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen  
to your voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your  
telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.  
To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press  
/PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 37).  
Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail  
and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check  
what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone  
service provider.  
To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off  
your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your  
voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate  
your voicemail service. You can also use your telephone answering system  
and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer  
before voicemail answers as described below. To learn how to program your  
voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are  
on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you  
receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.  
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your  
voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six  
rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail  
providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead  
of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the  
appropriate setting.  
Message capacity  
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each  
message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for  
the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes.  
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.  
Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

The handsets provided with your telephone system are already registered.  
Each handset is assigned a number that displays on the handset. Additional  
handsets registered to the telephone system are assigned in sequential  
order. For instance, if the telephone system already has hANDSeT 1 and  
hANDSeT 2, the new registered handset is assigned hANDSeT 3. This  
telephone system accommodates up to five handsets.  
Add and register a handset (optional)  
You can add new handsets (CS6309, purchased separately) to your  
telephone system. Each handset must be registered with the telephone  
base before use. When first purchased, each handset shows 1.PreSS  
FIND hS ON BASe 4 SeC and 2.TheN PreSS # ON hANDSeT  
alternately. You may need to charge the handset before registering to the  
telephone base. For more details on battery charging, see page 4.  
To register a handset:  
1. Place the unregistered handset in the telephone base or charger. If  
1.PreSS FIND hS ON BASe 4 SeC and 2.TheN PreSS # ON

Troubleshooting  
If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.  
1 (800) 267-7377.  
My telephone does not work at all.  
• Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (page 3-4). For optimum  
daily performance, return the handset to the telephone base or charger after use.  
• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a  
wall switch.  
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the  
telephone wall jack.  
• Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 15  
seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and  
telephone base to synchronize.  
Charge the battery in the handset for up to 16 hours.  
• If the battery is completely depleted, it can take up to 10 minutes to charge the  
handset before LOW BATTerY appears on the screen (page 4).  
Completely remove and install the battery again. If that still does not work, it might be  
necessary to purchase a new battery.  
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working  
telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the  
wiring or the local service. Call your telephone service provider.  
There is no dial tone.  
• First, try all the above suggestions.  
• Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range.  
• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Install a new telephone line cord.  
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and connect a different  
telephone. If there is no dial tone on this telephone either, the problem is in your  
wiring or local service. Contact your telephone service provider.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers  
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):  
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a  
multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and  
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR  
recommends to physicians that:  
Pacemaker patients  
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.  
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast  
pocket, when it is turned ON.  
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.  
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons  
using wireless telephones.  
Operating range  
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain  
distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the  
layout of your home or office.  
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays OUT OF rANGe Or NO PWr AT BASe.

Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your 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 the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.  
electrical storms  
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your  
own safety, take caution when using electrical 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 the water. If the telephone base should fall into the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU  
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove  
the telephone by the unplugged cords.

Appendix  
About cordless telephones  
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some  
limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the cordless  
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations  
could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this  
reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those  
on corded telephones.  
electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a  
working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls  
cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if  
the electrical power is interrupted.  
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause  
interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place  
the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is  
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR often reduces or  
eliminates the interference.  
rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short  
circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor  
may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery  
charger.  
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner.  
Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured,  
they could release caustic material which could cause injury.  
The rBrC® seal  
The RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that VTech Communications, Inc. is  
voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of  
their useful lives, when taken out of service within the United States and Canada.  
The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-metal hydride  
batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which may be illegal in your area.  
VTech’s participation in RBRC® makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local retailers  
participating in the RBRC® program or at authorized VTech product service centers. Please call
