transmission that combines the best of 2.4GHz and 900MHz technologies,  
providing enhanced performance over standard cordless telephones.  
About Caller Identification (Caller ID)  
Your t 2453 has a caller ID(CID) with call waiting feature that works with  
service from your local phone service provider. caller ID with call waiting lets you  
see who’s calling before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call.  
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact your  
phone service provider if:  
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services  
(you may need combined service)  
You have only caller ID service, or only caller waiting service.  
You don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.  
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, and you can use this  
product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined  
caller ID with call waiting service.  
There are fees for caller ID services, and they 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 companies use compatible  
equipment.

Operating Range  
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the  
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base  
can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the  
locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your  
home or office.

it does ring, the call might not connect when you press PHONE. Move closer to  
the base, then press PHONE to answer the call.  
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or  
interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.  
If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left off the  
hook. To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically pressing OFF.

answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and a  
message 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.”

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

Battery Care and Maintenance  
A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about six hours.  
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.  
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light turns on.The battery  
is typically fully charged in 15 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  
Installation, on page 6.  
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 15 hours the first charge.  
The telephone might operate before that, but for best performance, let the  
battery charge fully.

If you have difficulty operating your phone, the suggestions below should solve the prob-  
lem. If you still have difficulty after trying these suggestions, call VTech Communica- tions  
at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTech Telecommunications 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 batteries are properly charged. If you get a LOW BATTERY message  
or indication, the batteries need charging.  
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(s) on ringer  
selection 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.  
The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the  
base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.  
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.

announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over be-  
fore entering the code.  
Make sure you enter your Remote Access Code correctly.

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.

FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations  
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 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.
