Taking Care Of Your Telephone
Your VT 1932 cordless telephone con-
tains sophisticated electronic parts, so it
must be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Please 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 equip-
ment.
For your own safety, use caution when
using electric appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic cas-
ing that should retain its iuster for many
years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightiy
dampened with water or a mild soap. Do
not use excess water or cleaning sol-
vents 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 RE-
TRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE
CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the
unit out by the unplugged cords.
ADDITIONAL OPERATIONS
POWER BACKUP
When a spare battery pack (optional) is
installed in the Base Unit, your VTech
cordless telephone uses this battery to
provide operational backup during a
power failure. If you have a fully charged
battery pack in the Base Unit charger,
you will be able to place and receive
calls from the Handset for up to 5 hours.
Note:
During power backup mode, the Base
Unit functions are not operable, In
addition, Caller ID information may not
be reliable.
REPLACING A DRAINED HANDSET
BATTERY
The spare battery pack can also be used
to replace a drained Handset battery, to
ensure uninterrupted use. Be sure to put
the drained battery pack in the Base Unit
charger for recharging.
The Base Unit battery compartment
charges at a slower rate than a battery
pack charging in the Handset. It takes 24
hours to fully charge a battery pack in
the Base Unit.
To purchase replacement battery packs,
call VTECH Communications at 1-800-
595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH
Electronics at 1-800-267-7377.
