LOCATION
Place your VTech 15100 within 2 metres of the mains
power socket and telephone socket so that the cables
will reach.
Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical appliances to avoid interference. Your VTech
15100 works by sending radio signals between the base
and handset. The strength of the signal depends on
where you locate the base. Putting it as high as possible
ensures the best signal.
The maximum range between the base station and the
handset is approximately 300 meters.

station, plug the other end of the mains power

BATTERY PERfORMANCE
In ideal conditions, the fully charged battery should give
up to 12 hours talk time, or 160 hours standby time, on a
single charge. Note that a new battery will not reach full
capacity until it has been in normal use for several days.
To keep the batteries in the best condition, leave the
handset off the base for a few hours at a time. Running
the battery right down at least once a week will help
13
it last as long as possible. The charge capacity of the
rechargeable battery will reduce with time as it wears
out, giving the handset less talk / standby time.
Eventually it will need to be replaced. A replacement
battery can be obtained by contacting TecHelp on
1300 369 193 or from your local electrical retailer.
