Important Safety Instructions  
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  
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.  
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 cart, stand, or table. The product may  
fall, causing serious damage to the product.  
6. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for  
ventilation. To protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked  
by placing the product on the bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This  
product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This  
product should not be placed in a built-in installation where proper ventila-  
tion 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 to your  
home, consult your dealer or local power company.  
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product  
where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.  
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots 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.  
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take  
it to an authorized service facility. Opening or removing cabinet parts other  
than specified access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or  
other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the appli-  
ance is subsequently used.  
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.  
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 operat-  
ing instructions, because improper adjustment of other controls may  
result in damage and will often require extensive work by an autho-  
rized technician to restore the product to normal operation.  
E. If the product has been dropped and the cabinet has been damaged.  
F.  
If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

About Mailboxes  
This answering system has three voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch tone  
phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded by press-  
ing 1, 2 or 3. If the caller does not select a specific mailbox, their message will be  
recorded in Mailbox 1.  
About Announcements  
You can record two different announcements — one for normal answering  
and one for when you’ve set the system to play an announcement only.  
Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’ mes-  
sages. Use Announce Only when you want to give information to callers with-  
out 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. I’m unable  
to answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and a mes-  
sage after the tone.” The Announce Only pre-recorded announcement says:  
Hello, I’m unable to answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you.”  
By setting Announce Only to ON or OFF, you decide which announcement  
your callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set  
for normal answering, with Announce Only turned OFF). See Set Announce  
Only, located in the Feature Summary chart later in this section, to change  
your announcement selection.

Batteries  
Battery Care and Maintenance  
Maximum talk time on a fully charged battery is approximately six hours.  
Maximum standby time is seven days.  
The Battery needs charging when:  
— A new battery is installed in the Handset.  
— The phone beeps twice every five seconds.  
— The screen displays BATTERY LOW  
and the low battery icon.  
BATTERY LOW  
Place the Handset in the base so the CHARGING light turns on.The Battery is  
typically fully charged in 10 hours.  
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the Handset to the base  
after each use.  
If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after charging overnight, the  
battery should be replaced.  
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to the  
telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully:  
Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this  
product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations  
specified in the User’s Manual.  
Replacing the Handset Battery  
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the Handset by pressing on the  
indentation and sliding the cover downward.  
2. Lift out the old battery and disconnect.  
3. Align the two holes in the new battery’s plug with the socket pins, and snap  
the plug into place. Snap the battery in the compartment, as described in  
the Installation section (see page 7).  
4. Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.  
5. The new battery must be charged before using the phone. Place the Hand-  
set in the Base and allow it to charge for at least 12 hours the first charge.  
The telephone might operate before that, but for best performance, let the  
battery charge fully.

Headset Operation  
Your t 2447 Handset is equipped with a 2.5mm Headset Jack for use with an optional  
accessory Headset for handsfree operation. If you choose to use the Headset option,  
you must obtain an optional accessory Headset, which is compatible with the t 2447.  
To purchase a Headset, call VTech Customer Service at 1-800-595-9511.  
Once you have a compatible 2.5mm Headset, locate the Headset Jack on the t 2447  
Handset. Connect the plug on the Headset cord to the jack (under a small rubber flap)  
on the cordless Handset. The plug should fit securely. Do not force the connection.  
NOTE:  
Whenever  
a

connected to the cordless Handset, the  
microphone on the Handset will be muted.  
This is done to limit the effect of background  
noise.

The t 2447 is also equipped with a  
detachable belt clip. Align the pins on the  
inside edge of the clip with the notches  
on the sides of the Handset. The belt clip

In Case of Difficulty  
If you have difficulties in operating your phone, the suggestions below should  
solve the problem. If you still have difficulties after trying these suggestions, call  
VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH Telecom-  
munications Canada Ltd. at 1-800-267-7377.  
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 battery is properly charged. If you get a BATTERY LOW  
message or indication, the battery 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. Contact 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 can  
sometimes cause interference. Try to move the appliance or the Base Unit  
to another outlet.  
You get noise, static, or a weak signal when you are 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 to move the Base  
Unit to another position.  
The Handset does not ring when you receive a call  
Make sure you have the ringers activated. Refer to the section(s) on Hand-  
set Ringer Style/ Battery Save (see page 12) in this User’s Manual.  
Make sure the telephone 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 to unplug 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.

In Case of Difficulty  
You hear noise in the Handset, and none of the keys or buttons work  
Make sure the power cord is plugged in.  
Common cure for electronic equipment  
If the unit does not seem to be responding normally, then try putting the Handset  
in the cradle. If it does not seem to respond, do the following (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. Re-install the battery.  
6. Wait for the Handset to re-establish its link with the Base. To be safe, allow  
up to one minute for this to take place.  
Your answering system is not recording messages  
Make sure system is turned on (the ON/OFF key is illuminated).  
Make sure Announce Only feature is set to OFF.  
You cannot hear recorded messages  
Using the Base volume control, raise the volume to a comfortable listening  
level.

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 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.  
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.

preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For  
equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US”and  
a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal  
point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the  
product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN of 0.3.  
The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your  
telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all  
areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more information,  
please contact your local telephone company.

Programming/testing of emergency numbers  
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire  
department and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these loca-  
tions. If you do, please keep three things in mind:  
a
We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory  
card, so that you can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory  
dialing feature doesn’t work.  
b
c
This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer as-  
sumes no responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.  
Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not recom-  
mended. However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:  
You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call  
before hanging up.  
Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed dur-  
ing off-peak hours, such as in the early morning or late evening, when  
the emergency services tend to be less busy.

FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian  
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made  
by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecom-  
munications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connec-  
tions of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system,  
if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important  
in rural areas.  
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but  
should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as  
appropriate.  
Your telephone is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the  
FCC and IC. This means your Handset and Base Unit can communicate only  
over a certain distance - which will depend on the location of the Base Unit and  
Handset, weather, and the construction and layout of your home or office.
