When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, 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 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 surface, such as a table, shelf, or stand. The
product may fall, causing serious damage.
6. Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the Base Unit and Handset are provided
for ventilation. To protect them from overheating, these openings must not be blocked
by placing the product on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or rug. This product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be
placed in any area 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 in your home, consult
your dealer or local power company.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product where the
cord may have anyone walking on it.
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through slots in the Base or Handset
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, but take it to an
authorized service facility. Opening or removing parts of the Base or Handset other
than specified access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks.
Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the product 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 and refer servicing to an authorized service
facility under the following conditions:
A. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled onto 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, as
improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and often requires
extensive work by an authorized technician to restore the product to normal
operation.
E. If the product has been dropped and the Base and/or Handset has been damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
13. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There is 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.
15. Only put the Handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.

The Handset of your 9127 is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. It charges
automatically whenever the Handset is in the Base Unit. The battery pack needs charging
when:
• The low battery icon and message are displayed:
• A double beep sounds.
To charge the battery pack, place the Handset in the Base Unit. The IN USE/CHARGING
indicator will light to show the Handset is seated properly and the battery pack is charging. It
is recommended that the battery pack should be charged for at least 16 hours initially.
Afterwards, 8 hours of maintenance charging should be sufficient.
To install (or replace) the battery pack:
1. Remove the battery case cover by pressing on the ridged lines and sliding downward.
2. Discard the old battery pack by pulling firmly on the battery cords. Don’t put the old
battery pack in the trash or a fire - it could explode. Please recycle.
3. Snap in the new battery pack, with the wires in one of the lower corners. Insert the
battery plug into the socket, aligning the two holes in the plug with the socket pins.
4. Replace the battery case cover by sliding the cover
upwards.
5. Place the Handset in the cradle of the Base Unit to allow
it to charge for 16 hours.
CAUTION: To Reduce the Risk of Fire or Injury, Read and
Follow these Instructions:
IMPORTANT:
Do not dispose of this battery pack into household garbage. For
information on recycling or proper disposal, consult your local
solid waste collection or disposal organization.
1. Use only VTech rechargeable battery pack, or equivalent.
2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may
explode.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin.
It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery pack or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
To purchase replacement battery packs, call the Supplier at [phone]

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.
