Battery charging  
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery  
status (see the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the  
telephone base or charger to charge the battery. For best performance,  
keep the handset in the telephone base or charger when not in use. The  
battery is fully charged after 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table  
on page 25 for battery operating times.  
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption  
for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the  
telephone for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset displays  
Low battery along with a flashing icon. If you are on a call in low battery  
mode, the handset beeps every 50 seconds.  
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions  
to take.

About caller ID  
This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone  
service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and  
time of calls. Some names and numbers may not show because they are  
not available or blocked by the caller. The caller ID information shows after  
the first or second ring.  
Information about caller ID with call waiting  
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of  
the caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.  
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature.  
Contact your telephone service provider if:  
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you  
may need to combine these services).  
• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.  
• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.  
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be  
available in all areas.  
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are  
in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers  
use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by your telephone  
service provider along with the call information.  
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this  
product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined  
caller ID with call waiting service.

Telephone operation  
Call log  
If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller  
appears after the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller  
information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.  
• The call log stores up to 30 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the  
phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the telephone number  
has more that 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has  
more than 15 characters, only the first 15 characters are shown and  
saved in the call log.  
• You can review, redial and copy an entry into the directory.  
• Entries appear in reverse chronological order.  
• When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new  
incoming call information.  
• XX missed calls displays when there are new call log entries that have  
not been reviewed.  
• Call log empty displays when there are no records in the call log.  
• Call log entries are shared by all system handsets (for CS6114-2 only).  
Any deletions made on one handset are reflected on the other handset.  
• Only one handset can review the call log at a time (for CS6114-2 only). If  
a handset tries to enter the call log while another handset is already in it,  
Not available displays.  
For call log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, in order to view the  
entire number, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 21).  
Missed call indicator  
When there are calls that have not been reviewed in the  
call log, the handset displays XX missed calls.

Telephone operation  
Memory match  
When the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a  
telephone number in your directory, the screen displays the stored name of  
the directory entry.  
For example, if Linda Jones calls, her name appears as Linda if this is how  
you entered it into your directory.  
The number shown in the call log is in the format sent by the telephone  
service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code  
plus phone number). If the last seven digits of the incoming telephone  
number does not match a number in your directory, the name appears as it  
is delivered by the telephone service provider.

If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions  
1 (800) 267-7377.  
My telephone does not work at all.  
• Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (pages 3 and 4). For  
optimum daily performance, return the handset to the telephone base or charger  
after use.  
• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a  
wall switch.  
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and  
the wall jack.

seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and  
telephone base to synchronize.  
• Charge the battery in the handset for up to 16 hours.  
• If the battery is completely depleted, it may take up to 30 minutes to charge the  
handset before Low battery appears on the screen (page 4).  
• Remove and install the battery again. If that still does not work, it may be  
necessary to purchase a new battery.  
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working  
telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the  
wiring or the local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.  
There is no dial tone.  
• Try all the above suggestions.  
• Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.  
• The telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.

in your wiring or local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.  
I cannot dial out.  
• Try all the above suggestions.  
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a  
second or two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial  
tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.  
• If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is  
in the wiring or local telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider  
(charges may apply).  
• Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or dial  
from another room in your home with less background noise.  
Not registered appears on the handset and it does not work at all.

telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t solve  
the problem, relocate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or  
use a different surge protector.  
• The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of your cordless  
phone. For better reception, install the telephone base in a centralized location  
within your home or office, away from walls or other obstructions. In many  
environments, elevating the telephone base improves overall performance.

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.  
13. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There is a remote  
risk of electric shock from lightning.  
14. 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 flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there is  
adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a fire 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.  
15. Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.  
16. The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor 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.

Appendix  
Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers  
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):  
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a  
multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and  
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR  
recommends to physicians that:  
Pacemaker patients  
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.  
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast  
pocket, when it is turned ON.  
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.  
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons  
using wireless telephones.  
Operating range  
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can  
communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone  
base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.  
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays Out of range or no pwr at base.  
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call may not  
connect well when you press  
to answer the call.  
/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press  
/FLASH  
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference. To  
improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.  
Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.  
Avoid rough treatment  
Place 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 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 electrical appliances during storms.  
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 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 the water. If the telephone base should fall into the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE  
IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE  
WALL. Then remove the telephone by the unplugged cords.  
32  
 
 
Appendix  
About cordless telephones  
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some  
limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the cordless  
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations  
could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For  
this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as  
those on corded telephones.  
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a  
working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls  
cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off  
or if the electrical power is interrupted.  
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may  
cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do  
not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If  
interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or  
VCR often reduces or eliminates the interference.  
Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a  
short circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or  
conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and  
the battery charger.  
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe  
manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or  
punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.  
The RBRC® seal  
The RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that VTech Communications,  
Inc. is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at  
the end of their useful lives, when taken out of service within the United States and Canada.  
The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-metal hydride  
batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which may be illegal in your area.  
VTech’s participation in RBRC® makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local  
retailers participating in the RBRC® program or at authorized VTech product service centers.
