Operatꢀng range  
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal

certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the

If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference. To

Caller ID  
Your phone has a caller ID (CID) with call waiting feature that works with service from your local  
phone service provider. Caller ID with call waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the  
phone, even when you are on another call.  
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact your phone service provider  
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 service.  
• You don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.  
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, and you can use this product’s other features  
without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There are fees  
for caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas. This product can provide information  
only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies  
use compatible equipment.

Maꢀntenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.  
Avoid rough treatment  
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.  
Avoid water  
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.  
Electrical storms  
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances during storms.  
Cleaning your telephone  
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or clean-  
ing solvents of any kind.

8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product where the cord may have anyone walking on it.  
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through slots in the base or handset as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric  
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.  
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to an authorized service facility. Opening or removing parts of the base or handset other than specified access  
doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembling can cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.

FCC, ACTA and IC regulatꢀons  
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 reception, 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 modifications 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 bystander 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.  
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 label on the back or bottom of this  
equipment contains, among other things, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. This identifier must be provided to your local telephone company upon request.  
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to premises wiring and the telephone network must comply with applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements 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 connect-  
ing 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 identifier (e.g., if ## is 03, the REN is 0.3). In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (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 equipment does not disable  
your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified 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 be made by the manufacturer or its  
authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the Limited Warranty.  
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone company is required to notify you before inter-  
rupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the telephone company is required to inform you  
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this product.  
The telephone company is required to notify you if such changes are planned.  
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.  
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store emergency telephone numbers (e.g., police, fire, medical) in these locations. If you do store or test emergency numbers, please:

Industry Canada  
This equipment complies with regulations RSS210 and CS-03 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device  
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.  
The term ‘’IC: ‘’ before the certification/registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.  
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.1. The REN is an indication of the maximum number of devices allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termina-  
tion on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed five.
