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.

I cannot dial out.• First, try all the above suggestions.
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the cordless handset takes a second
or two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra
second before dialing.
•
Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial type (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in

Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can
communicate over only a certain distance --- which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or ofce.
When the handset is out of range, the handset will display CONNECTING. The user can access the handset directory, and certain parts of the menu system, i.e.
handset setting, but not the time setting and telephone base setting. NOT AVAILABLE will be displayed if access is denied.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press
the telephone base, then press /FLASH to answer the call. If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference. To
improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.

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.

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)

adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines. See Installation Instructions in the user’s manual.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called.
The REN for this product is encoded as the 6th and 7th characters following the US: in the product identier (e.g., if ## is 03, the REN is 0.3). In most, but not all areas,
the sum of all RENs should be ve (5.0) or less. For more information, please contact your local telephone company.
This equipment may not be used with Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equip-
ment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualied installer.
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only
