About caller ID
If you subscribe to caller ID service from your local telephone company, this feature displays the
name and telephone number of the caller before answering a call (even when you are on another

both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use
compatible equipment.
Contact your local telephone company if:
you have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service),
•
• you have only caller ID service, or only call waiting ser vice,
• you do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try them.
There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas.
This product can be used without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting
service, although the caller ID features of this product will not function.

About cordless telephones
Privacy: The same feature s that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limi tations. Telephone calls are trans mitted between the telephone base and
•
the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a pos sibili ty that the cordless telepho ne conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within
range of t he cord less han dset. Fo r this rea son, you should no t think of c ordless telep hone co nversat ions as being as pr ivate as th ose on corded tel ephones.
Elect rical Power : The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a worki ng electri cal outlet. The electrica l outlet should not be controlled
•
by a wall swit ch. Call s cannot be made from the cordless handset if the tel ephone base is un plugg ed or switched of f, or if the electr ical power is inter rupted .
•
Potent ial T V Inte rfer ence: Some c ordless telephones operate at freq uenci es that may caus e inter ferenc e to tel evisio ns and VCR s. To minimi ze or prevent
such inter ferenc e, do not place the telephon e base of the cordless tele phone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is exper ience d, moving the cordl ess
telephone far ther away fr om the TV or VCR will of ten red uce or eliminate t he inter ference.

Recha rgea ble Batteries: This product cont ains eithe r Nickel- Cadmium or Nickel-Met al Hydride rec hargeable batter ies. Exerc ise care in handling batteries in

FCC, ACTA and IC regulations
FCC Part 15
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a Class B digital device under Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) rules. These requirements are intended 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 interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
•
Changes or modications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or by
stander according to the intended usage of the product. This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC criteria. The handset may be safely
held against the ear of the user. The telephone base shall be installed and used such that parts of the user’s body other than the hands are maintained at a
distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches) or more. If you choose to use a clipping device, please make sure to only use the supplied VTech belt clip.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2)
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone.
FCC Part 68 and ACTA
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and with technical requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). The
