ADDITIONAL OPERATING TIPS
Noise Or Interference
Your VTech VT 1940 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 VTech VT 1940 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 VTech VT 1940 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 scan all
channels in an attempt to re-link with
the base.
Out Of Range When Phone Is Off
When 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 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.
MAINTENANCE
Taking Care Of Your Telephone
Your VTech VT 1940 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 pro-
tect 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.
Out Of Range When Phone Is On
If you are presently engaged in a phone
conversation, and experience an Out
of Range warning, 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.
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.
