VTech Cordless Telephone VT 1901 User Manual

INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations! You have purchased  
one of the most sophisticated cordless  
telephones on the market! The VTech  
VT 1901 has been designed to offer  
a new standard in cordless telephone  
technology.  
The VTech VT 1901 uses special  
memory in both the base and handset  
which is not susceptible to power  
failures. This provides permanent  
storage of all memory dial numbers, as  
well as the base and handset security  
codes.  
Unlike most other cordless phones, the  
VTech VT 1901 digitizes your voice  
using advanced ADPCM digital voice  
coding to provide noise and distortion  
free performance. In most conditions  
you will not be able to tell you are using  
a cordless phone. Gone are the  
annoyances of static, interference and  
having to listen to other people’s  
conversations on your cordless phone.  
When an optional spare battery pack  
is installed in the base unit, the VTech  
VT 1901 uses this battery to provide  
operational backup in case of power  
failure. In this way you have access  
to all normal phone functions during a  
total power outage. Calls can still be  
placed and received without  
interruption. More than 5 hours backup  
will be possible with a fully charged  
battery in the base unit.  
The VTech VT 1901 scrambles your  
voice before it transmits it. This  
ensures that no one can tune in and  
eavesdrop on your conversations.  
The VTech VT 1901 informs you that  
another extension is currently in use  
on the same phone line. The phone  
will also alert you when you are Out  
of Range even when you're not using  
the phone!  
With the VTech VT 1901 the user can  
easily answer a call on the handset by  
simply pressing any key other than the  
OFF, MUTE or Volume Keys. This is  
very useful in a dark environment, so  
that the user does not have to fumble  
around looking for the PHONE key to  
answer the call.  
The VTech VT 1901 also provides a  
one-way Page/find. Pressing the base  
PAGE key will cause the handset to  
ring in a manner which distinguishes  
it from normal incoming ringing. This  
can be used to alert the handset user  
or to simply locate the handset in the  
event that it is misplaced.

REPLACING THE HANDSET BATTERY PACK  
Charging the handset batteries  
The handset of your VTech VT 1901  
cordless telephone is powered by a  
rechargeable battery pack. It charges  
automatically whenever the handset  
is in the base. You should charge  
the battery pack for 16 hours when  
you first receive your phone. You’ll  
know the battery pack needs charging  
when:  
exchange the drained handset battery  
pack with the fully charged replace-  
ment battery pack from the base  
charger. Place the drained handset  
battery pack into the base charger to  
recharge.  
The base spare battery charger does  
NOT charge a battery pack as quickly  
as the handset battery charger. A full  
charge requires 24 hours, when using  
the spare battery charger.  
The phone emits a warning tone  
when you press the PHONE key.  
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO OVER-  
CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK  
The MUTE/LO BATT LED is  
slowly flashing  
The battery pack can be recharged  
many times, but if you get a low-battery  
signal even after 8 hours of maintenance  
charging in the base cradle (or 24  
hours in the base spare battery charger),  
the battery pack(s) should be replaced.  
The handset seems completely  
dead; no lights are evident, and  
pressing keys do not generate a  
beep.  
To Charge The Battery Pack  
To purchase replacement battery  
packs, call VTECH Communications at  
1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call  
VTECH Electronics at 1-800-267-  
7377.  
To charge the battery pack, place the  
handset in the base unit. The  
CHARGE indicator will light to show  
the handset is seated properly and  
the battery pack is charging. It is  
recommended that the battery pack  
be charged for at least 16 hours  
initially and 8 hours for maintenance  
charging. You can use your telephone  
before that with diminished capacity,  
but it is best to charge the battery  
pack fully. It will take several recharge  
cycles to maximize the charge  
capacity of your battery pack. The  
maximum battery life between  
charges is 7 hours of continuous talk  
time or 7 days of stand by.  
Alternatively, if you have purchased  
a spare battery pack and it has been  
charging in the base unit, simply

MAINTENANCE  
T A K I N G C A R E O F Y O U R  
TELEPHONE.  
Your VTech VT1901 cordless telephone  
contains sophisticated electronic parts,  
so it must be treated with care.  
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.  
Avoid rough treatment  
Place the handset down gently.  
Save the original packing materials  
to protect your telephone if you ever  
need to ship it.  
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.  
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.  
26  
1901MANUAL  
26  
1/28/99, 3:30 PM  
 
ADDITIONAL OPERATING TIPS  
If the handset is moved to a point where  
the base and handset can no longer  
communicate, the handset will make a  
quick series of beeps to signal Out of  
Range.  
NOISE OR INTERFERENCE  
Your VTech VT1901 cordless telephone  
has auto-channel scan circuitry which  
will detect excess noise and change  
the channel of the phone to reduce it.  
This is done automatically.  
OUT OF RANGE WHEN PHONE IS  
ON  
Since the VTech VT1901 is a fully  
digital phone, it does not suffer from  
noise associated with regular cordless  
phones. At times you may experience  
occasional “drop outs”, especially at  
the extreme edges of the phone’s  
range. Simply move closer to the base  
unit and this will disappear.  
If you are presently engaged in a phone  
conversation move closer to the base.  
If the base unit does not communicate  
with the handset within 25 seconds of  
losing contact, it will automatically  
hang up.  
OUT OF RANGE WHEN PHONE IS  
OFF  
AUTOMATIC SECURITY CODING  
Your VTech VT1901 phone is  
programmed with a digital security  
code, which is factory set from 16.8  
million possible codes. This unique  
security code allows your handset and  
base to recognize each other, and  
minimizes the possibility of another  
cordless phone using your telephone  
line.  
If the phone is OFF, the handset and  
base still monitor each other to make  
sure that they can communicate. If the  
handset is moved out of range, the  
handset will make a series of beeps,  
and then the PHONE and MUTE/  
LO.BATT LEDS will flash continually.  
The handset will re-link with the base  
automatically once it is brought back  
within range. The unit will then be able  
to receive and place calls.  
When the base unit is unplugged from  
the power supply, the handset will give  
the Out of Range warning beep. Plug  
the base in again and this will stop.

1901MANUAL

1/28/99, 3:30 PM  
 
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY  
If you have difficulty operating your  
phone, the suggestions below should  
solve the problem. If you still have  
difficulty after trying these suggestions,  
call VTECH Communications at 1-800-  
595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH  
Electronics at 604-273-5131.  
YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A  
WEAK SIGNAL EVEN WHEN YOU’RE  
NEAR THE BASE UNIT.  
Household appliances plugged into the  
same circuit as the base unit can  
sometimes cause interference. Try  
moving the appliance or the base unit  
to another outlet.  
THE PHONE DOESN’T WORK AT  
ALL.  
YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A  
WEAK SIGNAL WHEN YOU’RE  
AWAY FROM THE BASE UNIT.  
Make sure the power cord is  
plugged in.  
Make sure the telephone line cord  
is plugged firmly into the base unit  
and the telephone wall jack.  
Make sure the batteries are properly  
charged. If the MUTE/LO BATT  
LED is flashing, the battery pack  
needs charging.  
You may be out of range. Either  
move close to the base, or relocate  
the base unit.  
The layout of your home may be  
limiting the range. Try moving the  
base unit to another position.  
THE HANDSET DOES NOT RING  
WHEN YOU RECEIVE A CALL.  
Make sure you have the handset ringer  
activated. To set the ringer see  
PROGRAMMING THE RINGER on  
page 19.  
NO DIAL TONE.  
First check all the suggestions above.  
If you still don’t hear a dial tone,  
disconnect the base unit from the  
telephone jack and connect a different  
phone. If there is no dial tone on that  
phone either, the problem is in your  
wiring or local service. Call your local  
telephone company.  
Make sure the telephone line cord  
is plugged firmly into the base unit  
and the telephone jack. Make sure  
the power cord is plugged in.  
You may be too far from the base  
unit.  
You may have too many extension  
phones on your telephone line to  
allow all of them to ring. Try  
unplugging some of the other  
phones.  
28  
1901MANUAL  
28  
1/28/99, 3:30 PM  
 
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY  
YOU HEAR OTHER CALLS WHILE  
USING YOUR PHONE.  
Disconnect your base unit from the  
telephone jack, and plug in a regular  
telephone. If you still hear other calls,  
the problem is probably in your wiring  
or local service. Call your local  
telephone company.  
YOU HEAR NOISE IN THE HANDSET,  
AND NONE OF THE KEYS OR  
BUTTONS WORK.  
Make sure the power cord is plugged  
in.  
COMMON CURE FOR ELECTRONIC  
EQUIPMENT  
Electronics, like people, can sometimes  
get confused. If the unit does not seem  
to be responding normally, then try  
putting the handset in the cradle. If it  
does not seem to respond after trying  
this a few times, do the following (in  
the order listed):  
1. Disconnect the power to the base.  
2. Disconnect the handset battery.  
3. Wait a few minutes.  
4. Connect power to the base.  
5. Connect the handset battery.  
6. Put the handset in the base.
