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.

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 telephone base 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.
11. Never push objects of any kind into this product through the slots in the
telephone base or handset because they may touch dangerous voltage

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
telephone base 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.
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.

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 instructions in Deskset Installation in the User Guide.

Deskset 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 installation options and phone setup, see the
VSP725 Deskset User Guide and the VSP725 Deskset Administrator and
Provisioning Manual, available at businessphones.vtech.com.
You can power the phone using a compatible VTech power adapter or using Power
over Ethernet (PoE) from your network. (The phone requires PoE Class 2.) If you
are not using PoE, install the phone near a power outlet not controlled by a wall
switch. The phone can be placed on a at surface or vertically mounted on the wall.
Avoid placing the deskset 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.
To install the phone:
1. If you plan to place the phone on a at surface, attach the stand. Line up the
tabs on the stand with the slots on the rear of the phone. Two sets of slots
allow you to attach the stand at either a 45-degree or 35-degree angle. To
wall mount the phone, see the VSP725 Deskset User Guide.
2. Plug the end of the coiled handset cord into the Handset jack on the rear of the
phone. Secure the cord by routing it through the slot and underneath the tab.

3. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the rear of the
deskset (marked by ), and plug the other end of the cable into your
network router or switch.
If the deskset is not using power from a PoE-capable network router or switch:
a. Connect a compatible VTech power adapter to the deskset power jack.
b. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a
wall switch.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. Use only a compatible VTech power adapter.
To order a replacement power adapter, visit our website at
businessphones.vtech.com or call 1 [phone].
2. The power adapter is 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.
If there is a networked computer and no extra Ethernet wall ports near the phone,
then the phone and PC can share the same network connection.
To share a network connection with a PC:
1. Plug a Cat.-5 Ethernet cable into the PC port on the phone (marked by ).
2. Plug the other end of the Cat.-5 Ethernet cable into your computer’s Ethernet port.
• If a GigE network is being used, a computer connected through the phone
will be limited to 100 Mbits/s. If you require a GigE Ethernet rate, use
separate Ethernet connections for the phone and the computer.
• If a PC is connected to your network through a phone, any phone resets and
power or network interruptions will disrupt the PC’s connection to the network.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
• Your telephone base contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you must
treat it with care.
• Avoid rough treatment.
• Place the corded handset down gently.
• Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone base if you ever
need to ship it.
Avoid water
• You can damage your telephone base if it gets wet. Do not use the corded
handset in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone
base 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 telephone base 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.
