Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated cordless telephones on the market! The VTech VT1900 has been designed to offer a new standard in cordless telephone technology.

Unlike most other cordless phones, the VTech using advanced ADPCM digital voice coding to provide noise and distortion free performance. In most conditions you will not be able to tell you are using a cordless phone. Gone are the annoyances of static, interference and having to listen to other people's conversations on your cordless phone.

The VTech VT1900 scrambles your voice before it transmits it. This allows you the security of knowing that no one can tune in and eavesdrop on your conversations.

With the VTech VT1900 the user can easily answer a call on the handset by simply pressing any key other than the

OFF, MUTE or Volume Keys. This is very useful in a dark environment, so that the user does not have to fumble

around looking for the PHONE key to

answer the call.

VT1900 digitizes your voice

VTech VT1900 uses special

The

memory in both the base and handset which is not susceptible to power failures. This provides permanent storage of all speed dial numbers, as well as the base and handset security codes.

When a spare battery is installed in the

base unit, the VTech

battery to provide operational backup

in case of power failure. In this way

you have access to all normal phone

functions during a total power outage.

Calls can still be placed and received

without interruption. More than

backup will be possible with a fully

charged battery in the base unit.

The VTech VT1900 also informs you

that another extension is currently off-

hook on the same phone line. The

phone will also alert you when you are

Out of Range even when you're not

using the phone!

Part

The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone jack (USOC RJIIC, RJIlW or RJ14).

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, yourtelephone 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 advance 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 pack.

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 VTECH Limited Warranty.

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the phone company or Party Lines.

The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still enable the devices to ring when you receive a call. The general rule is that the REN value should not exceed 5.OA total; however, contact your local telephone company for the specific number in your area.

VTech VT1900 is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the FCC and IC. This means your handset and base unit can communicate only over a certain distance location of the base unit and handset, weather, and the construction and layout of your home or office.

If you move the handset out of range during a phone conversation, you will hear an 'Out of Range' tone to tell you

to move closer to the base. If you do

not move within range within 25 seconds the call is automatically disconnected.

If you move out of range when the handset is in standby mode, it will give an 'Out of Range' tone to tell you that

the handset will not be able to receive

or place calls.
