The RBRC Seal

The RBRC Seal on the (easily removable) Nickel-Cadmium battery (contained in your
product) indicates that Audiovox Communications Corp. (Audiovox) is voluntarily participating
in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful lives.
When taken out of service within the United States, the RBRC program provides a
convenient alternative to placing used Nickel-Cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal
waste, which is illegal in some areas.
Audiovox’s participation in RBRC makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local
retailers of replacement Nickel-Cadmium batteries, or at authorized AUDIOVOX’s product
service centers. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to
return the spent battery. Please call 1-800-8BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery
recycling in your area. AUDIOVOX’s involvement in this program is part of its commitment in
protecting our environment and conserving natural resources.
Detach the battery compartment cover on the handset and base. Then, remove the Nickel­Cadmium battery pack.

FCC Part 15
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliances could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

FCC Part 68

The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nationwide telephone

Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment causes harm to the
telephone network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection, if possible. During
notification, you will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so, you will be
given advanced notice of the change to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted
service.
The Base Unit contains no user serviceable parts. The Handset contains a user replaceable
battery.
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it
not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem has been
corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its
authorized agents or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. For repair procedures,
follow the instructions outlined under the AUDIOVOX Limited Warranty.

request the user to disconnect the equipment.

connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
