Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the
vicinity of the leak.
Use only the supplied NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
batteries. The operation periods for the handsets are
only applicable with the default battery capacity.
The use of other battery types or non rechargeable
batteries/primary mobile batteries can be
dangerous. These may cause interference and/or
unit damage. VTech will not be held liable for damage
arising from such noncompliance.
Use only the power adaptors supplied with this
product. Please contact TecHelp on 1300 369 193 for
replacement adaptors.
Please ensure that the batteries inserted properly.
Do not immerse the batteries in water, and do not
place them in a re.
Telephone receivers produce magnetic elds that
can attract small metallic objects such as pins or
staples. To avoid injury, do not place the handset
where such objects can be picked up.

LOCATION
Place your VTech 18150 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
18150 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 telephone base and
the handset is approximately 300 meters.

Charge the handset by placing it in the charger. The
CHARGE light on the handset is on during charging.
3.

short time when placing back on charge. This is the
normal operation of your handset.
16
IMPORTANT
Check for a dial tone by pressing
TALK/RECALL. If you
hear a dial tone, the installation is successful.
WARNING
Do not place your VTech 18150 in the bathroom or other
humid areas.
IMPORTANT
The telephone base must be plugged into the mains
power socket at all times. Do not connect the telephone
line until the handset is fully charged. Only use the power
adaptor, telephone cables and NiMH batteries supplied
with the product.
BATTERY LOw wARNING
If the
icon ashes in the handset display you will need
to recharge the handset before you can use it again.
During charging, the
icon will appear to be lling in
the display.
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
17
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.
After charging your handset for the rst time,
subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. The
battery and handset may become warm during charging,
however, this is normal.
