Turn on the answering machine by pressing the on/off button on the base. Set the time and date by pressing the Time/Set button (to the right of the menu button) and pressing Change until the correct day or time is heard. Then press Time/Set again.

To record a message, press Menu until you hear "Set Outgoing Message", then press Record and speak the message (include the mailbox info if you are using them). Press any Play/Stop button to end the message.

Set the various features by pressing Menu to access each one, then press Change to change the setting. Press Time/Set to lock in the change and press Menu to change the next feature. Press a Play/Stop key to leave the menu.

The most important one is "Set Announce Only" to Off for callers to leave a message.

All messages will go into Mailbox 1 unless the caller indicates a different mailbox. Press the Mailbox button to hear new messages if the mailbox has a mix of new and old messages. Press the button a second time to hear all messages. Skip/Quick lets you advance to the next message and Repeat/Slow will let you hear a message again.

Press Vol (up) to adjust the base speaker volume higher during playback.

In the menu, the first option lets you set the two digit security code to access the messages when you call in from another phone. When calling press # followed by 1, 2, or 3 to access the desired mailbox. Press #4 to repeat a message. #5 to skip. Press *0 to end the remote call.

I hope this helps.

(all this assumes the base is on (connected to power) and connected to a good phone line. Without power it will not work at all. I test phone lines for dial tone with an old corded phone.)

Only stupids buy cordless phone from Canada. India uses ETSI DTMF standard for Caller ID which is not supported by any cordless phone sold in Canada. It is about time you trash your worthless instrument in the dumpster.

Disconnect your wireless router and leave it off for ten min and then reconnect it. Next, update your routers software and firmware. Click on the link below to view related "can't connect" information on your VTECH cordless telephone:

Tip 1 of 5

Are you attempting to use two handsets on the same call? Your system allows you to use one handset at a time. You can also switch the call from one handset to another. See your User’s Manual for details

Tip 2 of 5

Move the handset closer to the base. The operating range may vary with environmental conditions and time of use. There may be places within your environment that a cordless phone will not work well. If the problem only occurs in certain areas of your environment, you can conclude that there is nothing wrong with the phone. Consider trying a phone that operates on a different wireless frequency.

Tip 3 of 5

Other electronic products (i.e., 802.11 wireless networking products, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones) can cause interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as possible from these types of electronic devices

Tip 4 of 5

Confirm proper installation of the telephone base power supply and handset battery. You should only use the VTech power supply provided with your telephone. Make sure the power supply is not connected to an electrical outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. Confirm that the electrical outlet that the telephone is plugged into is working

Tip 5 of 5

If the handset is not responding normally, you may need to reset your telephone system. Complete the following steps to reset the telephone system:
Step 1: Disconnect the power to the telephone base.

Step 2: Disconnect the handset battery.

Step 3: Wait a few minutes and then reconnect the power to the telephone base.

Step 4: Reconnect the handset battery

Step 5: Wait about one minute for the handset to re-establish a link with the telephone base and then test the phone again.

NOTE: After resetting the telephone system, you will need to reset the clock. If the time is not set, CL will be shown on the answering system’s display.

NOTE: If you have caller ID service, the time will automatically be updated whenever caller ID information is delivered. However, since caller ID delivers the date, rather than the day, you must program the year once so the system can derive the day of the week.

To set the day and time, confirm that the answering system is turned on and then complete the following steps:
Step 1: Press TIME/SET. The system will announce the current setting.

Step 2: Press TIME/SET again. The system will announce the current day setting.

Step 3: Press CHANGE on the base until you hear the correct day.

Step 4: Press TIME/SET. The system will announce the current hour setting.

Step 5: Press CHANGE on the base until you hear the correct hour.

Step 6: Press TIME/SET. The system will announce the current minute setting.

Step 7: Press CHANGE on the base until you hear the correct minute.
NOTE: Pressing and holding the CHANGE button when setting the day and time will increase the minutes or years by 10.

Step 8: Press TIME/SET. The system will announce the current year setting.

Step 9: Press CHANGE on the base until you hear the correct year.

Step 10: Press TIME/SET to confirm. The system will announce the new day and time setting followed by a confirmation beep

You are heading at this from the wrong end. The power to the device from the charger remains the same. If the device runs on 12 volts, it needs 12 volts. South Africa runs on 230 volts, so if you bought a 110 volts version, you buy an adapter that takes 230 mains voltage in, and delivers 12 volts DC to the phone. The phone won't run on 6 volts. 230V South Africa operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz. ..
