Introduction

The GIGAPHONE is an advanced cordless telephone that operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range. Your GIGAPHONE is capable of supporting up to a maximum of 4 Handsets. Using additional Handsets, two extensions can be conferenced on a call, while two other extensions can be talking internally, using the Intercom feature.

This manual is designed to familiarize you with the GIGAPHONE cordless telephone. We strongly recommend you read the manual before using your phone.

To order additional systerm Handsets (model# 2420), battery packs or headsets, call Vtech Communications Inc at 1-800-595-9511.

Setup

1.Plug the AC power adapter into an electrical outlet, and the DC connector into the back of the base unit.

Checking for dial tone

After the battery is charged press ON on the Handset. The Phone icon will appear on the handset display, and you will hear dial tone. If not, see In Case of Difficulty.

Tone/Pulse selection

The TONE/PULSE switch is located on the bottom of the Base Unit, next to the telephone jack. It is factory set to TONE. If you have rotary (Pulse) service, set the switch to

PULSE.

CAUTION: Use only the 7 volt power adaptor provided with your GIGAPHONE.

IMPORTANT:

FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE OF

YOUR CORDLESS TELEPHONE SYSTEM:

1. Choose a central location for your Base Unit.

2. Install your Base Unit and Extension Handsets away from electronic equipment, such as personal computers, television sets and microwave ovens.

3. In locations where there are multiple cordless telephones, separate base units as much as possible.

4. Install your telephone equipment away from heat sources and sunlight.

5. Avoid excessive moisture, dust or extreme cold.

Getting Started

Place the new battery pack in the handset with the metal contacts aligned with the charge contacts in the battery compartment.

Replace the battery cover by sliding it upwards.

Getting Started

Installation of Battery Pack in Handset

3 2.

4. If the new battery pack is not already charged, place the handset in the base unit, or a remote charging stand, and allow it to charge for 12 hours. After initial charge, a maintenance charge of 8 hours should be sufficient.

The original Handset that is shipped with your GIGAPHONE system will be automatically registered to the Base. This Handset is HANDSET 1.

As you register additional Handsets to the system, they will be assigned extension numbers in the following order: HANDSET 2, HANDSET 3, and finally HANDSET 4.

Whenever a Handset battery pack is installed, the Handset will automatically begin SEARCHING FOR BASE (if previously registered), or it will prompt you to ENTER BASE ID to register the new Handset.

Charging Of Handset Battery Pack

The Handset of your GIGAPHONE cordless telephone is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. It charges automatically whenever the Handset is in the Base Unit.

You should charge the battery pack for 12 hours when you first receive your phone.

You'll know the battery pack needs charging when:

??? The low battery message is displayed:

??? The handset seems completely dead, the LCD is completely clear and does not activate when you press the keys.

IMPORTANT:

1. Do not dispose of a battery pack in a fire, the cell may explode.

2. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Toxic substances may be released, causing harm to eyes or skin.

3. Exercise care in handling battery packs in order to prevent an accidental short of the charge contacts, potentially causing the battery pack to overheat.

4. Do not dispose of this battery pack into household garbage. Please refer to the following information concerning proper battery recycling:

Getting Started

Connect the telephone line cord to the jack on the back of the base unit, and the other end to the wall jack.

Getting Started

Wall Mounting

The Wall Mount bracket is designed for use on standard Wall Mount plates only.

1. Line up the tabs on the wall mount adapter with the holes on the bottom 1of the base unit. Snap the wall

mount bracket firmly in place.

2. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet, and the DC connector to the back of the base unit. If the handset battery pack has not been charged previously, place the handset in the base unit cradle, and allow it to charge for 12 hours.

4. Mount the base unit on the wall. Position the base unit so the mounting studs will fit into the holes on the wall mount bracket. Slide base unit down on the mounting studs until it locks into place.

FCC and IC Regulations

FCC Part 68

The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone jack (USOC RJ11C, RJ11W or RJ14).

Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment causes harm to the telephone network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection, if possible. During notification, you will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so, you will be given advance notice of the change to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

The Base Unit contains no user serviceable parts. The Handset contains a user replaceable battery pack.

If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the VTECH Limited Warranty.

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the phone company or Party Lines.

The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still enable the devices to ring when you receive a call. The general rule is that the REN value should not exceed 5.0A total; however, contact your local telephone company for the specific number in your area.

FCC and IC Regulations

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution :

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Your 2421 is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the FCC. This means your Handset and Base Unit can communicate only over a certain distance - which will depend on the location of the Base Unit and Handset, weather, and the construction and layout of your home or office.
