ADDITIONAL OPERATING TIPS
Out Of Range When Phone Is On
If you are presently engaged in a phone
conversation move closer to the Base.
If the Base Unit does not communicate
with the Handset within 25 seconds of
losing contact, it will automatically
hang up.
Out Of Range When PHONE Is
OFF
If the phone is OFF, the Handset and
Base still monitor each other to make
sure that they can communicate. If the
Handset is moved out of range, the
Handset will make a series of beeps,
and will then display "CHANNEL
SEARCHING" on the LCD. At 15
second intervals the Handset will scan
all channels in an attempt to reestablish
communication with the Base. This
process does not require user
intervention; the Handset will re-link
with the Base automatically once it is
brought back within range. The unit will
then be able to receive and place calls.
When the Base Unit is unplugged from
the power supply, the Handset will give
the "Out of Range" warning beep. Plug
the Base in again and this will stop.
Noise Or Interference
Your VT 1962 cordless telephone has
auto-channel scan circuitry which will
detect excess noise and change the
channel of the phone to reduce it. This
is done automatically.
Since the VT 1962 is a fully digital
phone, it does not suffer from noise
associated with regular cordless
phones. At times you may experience
occasional "drop outs", especially at
the extreme edges of the phone's
range. Simply move closer to the Base
unit and this will disappear.
Automatic Security Coding
Your VT 1962 phone is factory set with
16.8 million possible security codes.
This unique security code allows your
Handset and Base to recognize each
other, and minimizes the possibility of
another cordless phone using your
telephone line.
Out Of Range Indication
If the Handset is moved to a point
where the Base and Handset can no
longer communicate, the Handset will
make a quick series of beeps to signal
Out of Range.
If the Handset is active when taken
out-of-range, it will beep twice a
second and enter standby mode after
25 seconds if the link is not
reestablished. If the Handset is
brought back within range, it will
automatically re-link.
For out-of-range in standby mode, the
Handset will beep once and then at 15
second intervals, will display
"CHANNEL SEARCHING" on the
LCD, and scan all channels in an
attempt to re-link with the Base.
