Introduction
The GIGAPHONEis an advanced cordless telephone that operates in the 2.4GHz
frequency range. Your GIGAPHONE is capable of supporting up to a maximum
of 8 Handsets. Using additional Handsets, several people can be using the
cordless system at the same time. Some examples:
* 2 Handsets conferenced on a Line 1 call; while 2 additional Handsets are
conferenced on a Line 2 call.
* 2 Handsets conferenced on a Line 1 call; while another Handset is in Intercom
mode with the Base Unit.
* 1 Handset on Line 1; a different Handset in Intercom mode with the Base
Unit; 2 additional Handsets are conferenced on Line 2.
This manual is designed to familiarize you with the GIGAPHONE cordless
telephone. We strongly recommend you read the manual before using your
phone.
To order additional system Handsets (model# VT20-2420), battery
packs, or headsets, call VTech Communications Inc at 1-800-595-9511.
MENU DRIVEN DISPLAYS
The VT20-2431 Handset and Base feature a user-friendly display, making it
easy to access the many features of this multi-Handset, cordless system. The
three black keys, found directly below the LCD screen, are called soft keys.
They are called this because their functions change depending on what you're
doing making a call, reviewing Caller ID, adding a name and number to your
Phone Book, etc.
For example, when the Handset is in the idle mode, the LCD displays:
In this case, the 3 soft keys access REDIAL, MENU and MEMORY.
When the Handset is active, the LCD displays:

Connecting to the telephone lines
Your 2-Line GIGAPHONE will work fine even if you only have one telephone
line. We recommend connecting the modular telephone cord to the jack labeled
LINE 1 / L1 + L2, located on the bottom of the Base Unit. Here are steps for
connecting 2 lines:
If you have 2 Lines coming out of a Single Wall Jack:
Connect a 4-wire (RJ-14) modular phone cord between the wall jack and the
phone jack labeled L1 / L1 + L2.
If you have 2 Lines, each coming out of Separate Wall Jacks:
Connect a modular phone cord from the wall jack you want to designate as
your LINE 1, to the LINE 1 / L1 + L2 jack on the bottom of the Base Unit. Next,
connect a phone cord from the remaining wall jack to the LINE 2 jack on the
Base Unit.
Data Port
Your 2-Line GIGAPHONE has a Data Port on the back of the Base Unit. This
port provides an easy way to connect your fax machine, laptop computer,
modem or other telephone device for direct access to LINE 2.
The Data Port only provides access to Line 2, so you must have an active line
connected to the LINE 2 jack on the bottom of the Base Unit. Connect a
modular phone cord from the Data Port (look for the small door marked DATA
on the back of the Base Unit) to your fax, laptop, etc.
NOTE: While the Data Port is in use, accidental use of Line 2 by a parallel
phone, your 20-2431, or a Call Waiting ID alert may interrupt the data transmis-
sion.

4. If the new battery pack is not
already charged, place the
handset in the base unit, or a
remotecharging stand,and allow
it to charge for 12 hours. After
initial charge, a maintenance
charge of 8 hours should be
sufficient.
2
The original Handset that is shipped with your GIGAPHONE system will be
automatically registered to the Base. This Handset is HANDSET 1.
As you register additional Handsets to the system, they will be assigned
extension numbers in the following order: HANDSET 2, HANDSET 3,
HANDSET 4, etc.
Whenever a charged Handset battery pack is installed, the Handset will
automatically begin SEARCHING FOR BASE (if previously registered), or
it will prompt you to ENTER BASE ID to register the new Handset. See
Registration and Operation for details.

Call History (Caller ID)
Caller ID - Call Waiting ID
Your GIGAPHONE is capable of displaying the name and/ or number of the
party calling before you answer the phone (Caller ID). It is also capable of
displaying Caller ID information in conjunction with a Call Waiting alert signal
(Call Waiting Caller ID). With Call Waiting Caller ID, the Caller ID data is
displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue
with your current conversation.
As new Caller ID/Call Waiting ID are received, your Handset and Base
displays will alert to the new, Caller ID records, for example:
The number of new calls displayed on each system Handset and Base may
not be the same. If, for example, you answer a call on Handset 2, that
Handset will not count the Caller ID information for that call as new.
However, the other registered Handsets and Base displays will consider it a
new call, and add it to the NEW CALLS total.
After you review all new Caller ID records, the NEW CALLS status will be
turned off.
The following information explains how to access Caller ID records(Call
History):
From Handset or Base:

Register
Handset Deregistration
You can deregister all Handsets at one time. This causes the Base Unit to ‘forget’
that it has any Handsets at all. You may never have to perform this procedure.
One possible reason for deregistration is if you have the maximum number
of Handsets (8) registered to your Base, and one Handset should require
replacement, the Base will not register the ‘new’ Handset, because its eight
memory slots are occupied. The deregistration procedure will clear the Base
Unit’s memory, and you will be able to register each Handset again. Individual
Handsets cannot be deregistered.
CAUTION: Once you deregister, your Handsets will not be capable of making
or receiving calls. You will need to re-register each Handset, one at a time!!
To Deregister all Handsets:
·
·
·
At the Base Unit, in the idle (OFF) mode, press MENU.
Scroll down to SETUP BASE, then press OK.
Scroll down to DEREGISTER ALL, then press SET.
All system Handsets have been deregistered. To register your Handsets again,
see Registration and Operation, located in the Getting Started section of the
User’s Manual, for details.
Register
Use this option to register a Handset to the GIGAPHONE Base. You can register
a total of eight Handsets to the GIGAPHONE Base. This process is activated
automatically whenever a new handset is powered up in range of the
GIGAPHONE Base.
You will be prompted to enter the 15-digit Base ID code. See Registration and
Operation, located in the Getting Started section of the manual, for details.
Note : Base ID codes are 15 digits long and can include the following characters
:

Maintenance
Taking Care Of Your Telephone
Your GIGAPHONE 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.
