The VTech line of phones are in use all over the country in homes and offices. The VTech series of cordless phones are popular for home use due to a built-in screen that features caller ID as well as a menu system to change the settings for the phone. Using the display screen, owners of the VTech cordless phone can enjoy a programmable directory that can quickly bring up numbers of your 20 closest friends, family and coworkers with the push of a button. Programing the directory on the VTech cordless phone is a quick process and easy to complete.
Step 1
Pick up the VTech cordless phone from the base. When the handset is not in use, press the "Prog" button, which will access the programmable directory. Using this directory, you can store up to 20 contacts and enter names that are up to 14 characters long, change the date and time and set your ringer.
