When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock and injury to persons, 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 ventilation 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. If service or repair work is required, contact VTech

Customer Service at 1-800-595-9511.  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 appliance 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:

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 operating instructions because improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require

extensive work 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.
13. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote  risk of electric shock

from lighting.

14. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

SAVE THESE  INSTRUCTIONS

1. Slide the battery cover off by gently pressing

on the recessed area with a downward motion.

2. Unplug and remove the old battery pack. Don't

put the old battery pack in a trash compactor
or a fire - it could burst.

3. Plug in the replacement battery pack. Place

the battery pack in the compartment with the
battery cord resting on top of it.

4. Replace the battery cover by sliding it into

place.

5. The new battery pack must be charged before

using your telephone. Place the handset in the
cradle of the base unit to allow it to charge for
16 hours. Maximum battery life between
charges is more than 5 hours of continuous
talk time or 6 days of standby.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

REPLACING THE HANDSET BATTERIES
