Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the PhoneSmart™ Teaching Telephone,
the simple way to teach your child important phone numbers.
Please use this guide to help get started, and be sure to practice
emergency phone skills with your child!
PhoneSmart™ has three main play modes:
1. Free Play – In this mode, the parent, teacher or child can
record phone numbers and messages. Then, simply dial these
numbers to hear the recorded messages. For pretend and
play fun, you can also dial any of the preset numbers from
people and businesses around the town.
2. Quiz Mode – In this interactive number-dialing quiz, the
phone will call out basic number sequences. Players need
to press the corresponding keys on the phone to repeat the
sequence. Keep playing to repeat three, four and even five-
number sequences!
3. Emergency Mode – This interactive mode teaches children
about the importance of correctly dialing their emergency
phone numbers. Listen in as the friendly operator voice will
guide you through lessons about your emergency phone
number.
Additional Features:
PhoneSmart™ features a record-a-message button for message
recording. To use this feature, press and hold the record button
and speak into the phone. Press the play button anytime to play
the message back.

Play Modes
1. Free Play
Turn the phone on by pressing the POWER button on the
side of the phone.
The screen will display the word READY.
Press the TALK button to enter the phone into dialing mode.
Press the number buttons on the front face of the phone to
dial a number. With each press of a number button, the
corresponding number will be displayed on the screen.
When you’re done entering the number, press the TALK
button again to send the call, just like a real cordless or
mobile phone.
SAVING A PHONE NUMBER AND MESSAGE
Anyone can input and save their own phone numbers and
messages for use in Free Play mode. Up to three phone
numbers and messages can be saved.
Press the desired numbers on the front face of the phone
(up to 11 digits), followed by the # button.
You will be prompted to SAVE NUMBER. If yes, press the #
button again. Now you can record a message of up to 15
seconds.
When finished, the message will be played back
automatically, and the screen will display SAVE MESSAGE.
If YES, press the # button.
If NO, press the * button. A tone will play, and you can re-
record your message.
Now, any time that phone number is dialed, you will hear
the message associated with that number. The number will
be saved in memory on the phone.
PRESET PHONE NUMBERS
Dial these numbers in Free Play mode to hear a message
from friends around town!
2. Quiz Mode
When this mode is selected, the screen will display the words
QUIZ TIME!
The phone operator will call out and display a three-digit
sequence of random numbers. Press the corresponding keys on
the phone correctly to repeat the sequence. As the number
keys are pressed, the number name will be heard and the
number will be displayed on the screen.
Upon successful completion of the sequence, the phone will
play positive audio feedback.
If an incorrect sequence is dialed, the phone will play a
negative sound and repeat the initial sequence.
The quiz will continue with random three-digit numbers until
the user has correctly answered five 3-digit number sequences
in a row. It will then move on to four, and then five-digit
number sequences.

3. Emergency Mode
This is an interactive mode that teaches children about the
importance of correctly dialing their emergency phone
numbers.
When EMERGENCY MODE is selected, listen as a friendly
operator will guide you through lessons about your
emergency phone number.
Press the mode button to switch to emergency mode, and
hear the voice say, “Let’s learn your emergency number!”
The operator will ask you to dial your emergency number.
First, the phone will show the first two digits of the
emergency number, and then ask you to dial the last digit.
If you dial the wrong number, the phone will play a negative
response and sound effect.
If you dial the correct number, the phone will play a positive
response and sound effect.
This teaching method continues until you are asked to enter
in all three digits (9-1-1) without prompting. This repetition
helps reinforce the importance of remembering your
emergency phone numbers.
Parents should play this activity along with children to help
teach the importance of correctly dialing this number.
