If a handset is on the process of transferring a call to the other handset it is possible to conference with both calls by holding the INT key. Holding INT with connected to either party, when transferring, or call toggling, will immediately conference both handsets and external line. A handset can leave the conference by going on-hook, by pressing OFF, or placing the handset on the base or charging cradle. The connection continues between the remaining handset and the external party. Redial at On-Hook state Pressing REDIAL while the handset is idle or pre-dialing will access the last dialed number. Subsequent presses of REDIAL will access previously dialed numbers. After the fifth number the redial list will cycle back to the most recently dialed number. Alternately the user can user the /\ and \/ keys to scroll through the 5 previously dialed numbers. Pressing OFF will cancel the redial list review.

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 35
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. In Case Of Difficulty If you have difficulty operating your phone, the suggestions below should solve the problem. If you still have difficulty after trying these suggestions, call VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH Electronics 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 the ‘LOW BATTERY’ message is shown, the battery pack 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 moving the appliance or the Base Unit to another outlet. 36
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 ringers activated. To set the ringer, see HANDSET SETTINGS • 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 plugging 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. You Hear Noise In The Handset, And None Of The Keys Or Buttons Work • Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
