CALLER ID  
Your VTech 912 ADLc cordless  
telephone is capable of displaying the  
name and number of the person calling,  
before you answer the phone.  
Caller ID service is based a relatively  
new technology. In some areas, Caller  
ID service is not fully supported, or not  
offered at all. Caller ID may not work  
properly in some areas due to local  
telephone company limitations and/or  
equipment incompatibility.  
The unit is designed to store and  
display specific information provided by  
your local telephone company to  
subscribers of the “Caller Information  
and Identification Service” (Caller ID).  
When Caller ID service is active, your  
telephone company transmits certain  
information between the first and  
second ring of each call. This  
information includes the telephone  
number and name of the caller as well  
as the date and time of the call.  
Caller ID LCD and Icons  
Caller ID information is displayed on  
the Base LCD module. Each ICON has  
a specific function.  
MSG  
DATE/TIME  
RPT#  
For example:  
NUMBER ONLY:  
CALL#  
NEW CALL  
New Call Icon (NEW CALL)  
When activated, this icon alerts the  
users that new calls have been  
received. The NEW CALL icon will  
remain on until all new calls are  
reviewed.  
NAME AND NUMBER:  
Call Counter (CALL#)  
This two digit counter indicates the  
position of CID record relative to other  
records stored in CID memory.  
This information is immediately  
displayed on the unit’s LCD screen,  
enabling you to identify the calling party  
without having to answer the call.  
Simultaneously, this information is  
stored in memory for review at a later  
time.  
Repeat Counter (RPT#)  
This digit counter is used to indicate  
when a specific call has been received  
more than once. If a call had been  
received twice, the RPT# counter  
would show a 1. The repeat counter is  
only active during Caller ID review  
when a repeat call comes in.  
You must be in an area where Caller  
ID service is available and you must  
subscribe to this service to use this  
feature.

CALLER ID  
Dot Matrix Area  
DATE / TIME Stamp  
The bottom line of the LCD consists of  
15 5x5 dot matrix characters. The  
VTech 912 ADLc is capable of  
displaying caller’s name information.  
The date and time fields are used to  
display the date and time information  
of a Caller ID record. Also, if no keys  
on the Caller ID module are touched  
for around 20 to 30 seconds, the  
display will default to Clock mode, and  
display the current date and time.  
Caller ID name information will be  
displayed left-hand aligned.  
In addition to displaying the name  
information, the dot matrix area of the  
LCD also displays the following:  
Message Waiting Icon (MSG)  
The VTech 912 ADLc is capable of  
detecting a visual Message Waiting  
signal generated by some local phone  
company Voicemail systems. If you  
subscribe to Voicemail services, and  
the visual Message Waiting signal is  
provided by your local telephone  
company, the MSG icon will be  
displayed when you have messages  
waiting. If you do not use Voicemail  
services, the MSG icon will not be  
utilized.  
• “LINE ERROR” is displayed if errors  
are detected during the reception of  
Caller ID information. This does not  
indicate a problem with your unit.  
Notify your telephone company if it  
continues to appear often.  
Once you have checked your Voicemail  
messages, the central telephone office  
will send de-activate visual Message  
Waiting signal, and the VTech 912  
ADLc will automatically deactivate the  
MSG icon.  
You must be in an area where  
Voicemail service is available and  
you must subscribe to this service  
to use this feature.  
• "UNAVAILABLE " is displayed if the  
Caller ID name or number received  
is not available.  
Number Display Area  
The center line of the LCD is made up  
of 14 complete digits. This area of the  
LCD is used to display the phone  
number information of a Caller ID  
message. The displayed phone  
number will be right hand aligned. If  
the phone number is not available, this  
part of the display will be blank.  
• “PRIVATE” is displayed if the calling  
party has identified their phone  
number or their name is private, or if  
they have temporarily blocked Caller  
ID transmission to protect their  
privacy.

phone, the suggestions below should  
solve the problem. If you still have  
difficulty after trying these suggestions,  
In the US call:  
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.  
VTECH Communications at  
1-800-624-5688.  
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 the second or third floor,  
or to some other location.  
THE PHONE DOESN’T WORK AT  
ALL.  
• Make sure the power cord is plugged  
in.  
• 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  
indicator is on, the battery needs  
charging. If the IN USE indicators  
do not light when you press PHONE,  
you must charge the batteries.  
• If you recently installed a new battery  
pack, make sure it is installed  
correctly.  
THE HANDSET DOES NOT RING  
WHEN YOU RECEIVE A CALL.  
• Ensure that the ringer is turned on.  
• 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.  
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.  
YOUR CALLER FADES IN AND OUT.  
You may be nearly out of range. Move  
closer, or relocate the base.  
YOU HEAR OTHER CALLS WHILE  
USING YOUR PHONE.  
• Replace the handset in the base  
cradle, wait a few moments and try  
again.  
• 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 GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A  
WEAK SIGNAL EVEN WHEN  
YOU’RE NEAR THE BASE UNIT.  
• Place the handset in the base  
momentarily to re-set the security  
code. Then press PHONE to get a  
line.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY  
YOU HEAR NOISE IN THE HAND-  
SET, AND NONE OF THE KEYS OR  
BUTTONS WORK.  
• Make sure the power cord is plugged  
in.  
Your base unit and handset may not  
be operating on the same channel  
or security code. Place the handset  
in the cradle for a few moments to  
reload the security code and reset  
the channel.  
COMMON CURE FOR ELECTRONIC  
EQUIPMENT  
Electronics, like people, can  
sometimes get confused. If the unit  
does not seem to be responding  
normally, then try putting the handset  
in the cradle to re-initialize the unit. If  
it still does not seem to respond,  
perform the following steps (in the order  
listed):  
1. Disconnect the power to the base.  
2. Disconnect the handset battery.  
3. Wait a few minutes.  
4. Connect power to the base.  
5. Connect the handset battery.  
6. Put the handset in the base to re-  
initialize.
