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.

Battery Care and Maintenance
•
Maximum talk time on a fully charged battery is approximately 6 hours.
Maximum standby time is 7 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
BATTERY LOW
low battery icon.
•
•
•
Place the Handset in its Base so the CHARGING light turns on. The Battery
is typically fully charged in 12 hours.
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the Handset to its Base
after each use.
If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after charging overnight, the
battery should be replaced. Use only VTech batteries.
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. Place the battery in the compartment with the wires in the
ower right corner, along the bottom of the battery.
4. Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.
5. The new battery must be charged before using the phone. Place the Handset
in its 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 2415 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 2415. For best results, use a VTech 2.5mm headset.
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 2415 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 compatible Headset is connected to the cordless Handset,
the microphone on the Handset will be muted. This is done to limit the effect
of background noise.

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 icon, the battery needs charging.
BATTERY LOW
No dial tone
•
•
First try 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 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 closer 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 ringer activated. Refer to the section on Handset
Ringer Style/Battery Save (see page 8) in this User's Manual.
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.

In Case of Difficulty
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 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, and spare battery pack, if applicable.
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.

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.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections
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 Cordless Phone 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.
