Why my VTech IS6110 does not work?

  If your VTech Cordless Telephone isn't working, ensure the battery is correctly installed and charged. For best performance, keep the cordless handset in its charger after use. Check that the handset charger power adapter is plugged into a working outlet, and the telephone line cord is firmly connected to both the telephone base and the wall jack. Try unplugging the unit for 15 seconds, then plug it back in and wait one minute for synchronization. If issues persist, fully charge the handset battery for 16 hours, or try removing and re-inserting the battery; you may need a new battery. As a last resort, test the wall jack with a working telephone to rule out wiring or service issues.

  If you are hearing other calls while using your VTech telephone, disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.

  If "PC Software is busy" appears on the display when sending a message on your VTech phone, press the MSNGR softkey to return to the chat window; your message should have been sent even if the screen reverts to the idle screen. If the issue persists, shut down and relaunch the IS6110 software.
