VTech produces phone systems found in homes and offices all over the country. The VTech line of cordless phones are popular in homes due to programmable features, such as an internal phonebook, caller ID functions and other changeable options. If you have a VTech cordless phone and would like a little privacy while watching a movie or reading a book, you can go into the programming menu and turn your ringer off.
Step 1
Charge the VTech cordless phone headset on the base before you begin changing menu settings. When the phone is fully charged, you will see the battery icon on the display screen with a full bar. Take the phone off the base when it is ready.
