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.

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.

subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. The

battery and handset may become warm during charging,

however, this is normal.
