3. Device Not Responding – Try resetting the phone by:
- Disconnecting the power from the base.
- Removing the handset battery.
- Waiting a few minutes.
- Reconnecting the power to the base.

has an older phone no longer has a dial tone lights up as is still being charged
Your VTech cordless telephone may have no dial tone but still light up and charge due to one of the following reasons:
1. Phone Line Connection – Ensure the telephone line cord is securely plugged into both the Base Unit and the wall jack.
2. Power Connection – Make sure the Base Unit is properly connected to a power source.
3. Tone/Pulse Setting – Verify that the phone is set to the correct dialing mode (tone or pulse) under Handset Settings.
4. Interference or Location Issues – Place the Base Unit away from electronic devices like computers, TVs, or microwaves, which may cause interference.
5. Wiring or Service Issue – If the issue persists, the problem may be with your home wiring or telephone service. You may need to contact your telephone service provider.
6. Reset the System – Try resetting the system by disconnecting the power to the Base Unit, removing the Handset battery, waiting a few minutes, then reconnecting everything.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, refer to the "In Case of Difficulty" section in the manual.

how do I empty my message bank
I enjoy my Vtech cordless phones. The window is small and does not light up enough to see who or what number is calling. The print on the window is extremely small, even with glasses. Is there a way to correct this?
