that may appear on the product or in this user’s manual. Always follow
basic safety precautions when using this product to reduce the risk of
injury, re, or electric shock.
Important Safety Instructions
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and injury, including the following:
1. This product should be installed by a qualied technician.
2. This product should only be connected to the host equipment and never directly
to the network such as Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) or Plain Old
Telephone Services (POTS).
3. Read and understand all instructions.
4. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
5. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6. Do not use this product near water such as near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen
sink, laundry tub or swimming pool, or in a wet basement or shower.
7. Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable
surfaces.
8. Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the base station 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.
9. 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 supplied at the
premises, consult your dealer or local power company.
10. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product
where the cord may be walked on.

3
11. Never push objects of any kind into this product through the slots in the base
station or handset because they may touch dangerous voltage points or create
a short circuit. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
12. 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 station
or handset other than specied access doors may expose you to dangerous
voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when
the product is subsequently used.
13. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords.
14. 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 operation
instructions. 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 telephone base and/or handset has
been damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
15. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There
is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
16. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under
certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged
into the power outlet, or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a
common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user
should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged
handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing
concentrations of ammable or ame-supporting gases, unless there is
adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a re or
explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without
adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.);
a leak of natural gas; etc.

4
17. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk
mode.
18. The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or oor
mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is
plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
19. Use only the power cord indicated in this manual.
20. For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
21. In wall mounting position, make sure to mount the telephone base on the wall
by aligning the eyelets with the mounting studs of the wall plate. Then slide the
telephone base down on both mounting studs until it locks into place. Refer to the
full installation instructions in the User Guide.
22. CAUTION: Keep small metallic objects such as pins and staples away from the
handset receiver.
23. CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN
INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS.

Base Station Installation
This section assumes that your network infrastructure is established and that your
IP PBX phone service has been ordered and congured for your location. For more
information about IP PBX conguration, see the VSP600A/VSP601A Administrator and
Provisioning Manual.
You can power the base station using a compatible VTech power adapter (purchased
separately from your distributor or dealer) or using Power over Ethernet (PoE) from your
network. (The base station requires PoE Class 2.) If you are not using PoE, install the
base station near a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The base station can be
placed on a at surface or mounted on a wall in a vertical or horizontal orientation.
Avoid placing the base station too close to:
• Communication devices such as television sets, DVD players, or other cordless
telephones
• Excessive heat sources
• Noise sources such as a window with trafc outside, motors, microwave ovens,
refrigerators, or uorescent lighting
• Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage
• Excessive moisture
• Extremely low temperature
• Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of a washing machine or work
bench.

10
To install the base station:
1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the rear of the base
station (marked by ), and plug the other end of the cable into your network
router or switch.
2. If the base station is not using power from a PoE-capable network router or switch:
a. Connect a compatible VTech power adapter (purchased separately from your
distributor or dealer) to the base station power jack.
b. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall
switch.

position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into
a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
To mount the base station on a wall:
1. Install two mounting screws on the wall. Choose screws with heads
larger than 5 mm (3/16 inch) in diameter (1 cm / 7/16 inch diameter
maximum). The screw centers should be 5 cm (1 15/16 inches)
apart vertically or horizontally.
2. Tighten screws until only 3 mm (1/8 inch) of the screws are
exposed.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
• Your base station and cordless handset contain sophisticated electronic parts, so
you must treat them with care.
• Avoid rough treatment.
• Place the handset down gently.
• Save the original packing materials to protect your products if you ever need to
ship them.
Avoid water
• You can damage your cordless telephone if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in
the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the base station and handset
near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
• Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances
during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
• Your products have 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 the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT
RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE WALL, then
pull the unit out by the unplugged cord.
