Contact your telephone 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, or • you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try them now. You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and these services may not be available in all areas. The caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

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 ofce. When the handset is out of range, the handset will display Searching. The user can access the handset phonebook, and certain parts of the menu system, i.e. handset setting and registration, but not the time setting and base setting. Not possible will be displayed if access is tried.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 TALK/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press TALK/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 base. MaintenanceTaking care of your telephoneYour cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care. Avoid rough treatmentPlace the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it. Avoid waterYour 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 base unit near a sink, bathtub or shower.Electrical stormsElectrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances during storms. Cleaning your telephoneYour 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 cleaning solvents of any kind.Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If your base unit should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.
www.vtechphones.com44About cordless telephones• Privacy: the same features that make a cordless phone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless phone conversations as being as private as those on corded phones.• Electrical Power: The base unit of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if the base unit is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted. • Potential TV Interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the base unit of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone father away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. (Applies to 25-channel cordless phones only).• Rechargeable Batteries: This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.• Nickel-Metal Hydride Rechargeable Batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.

www.vtechphones.com46FCC Part 15Warning: Changes or modications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to 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 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 and 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 or on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.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 criteria. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. It may be safely held against the ear of the user. The base unit shall be installed & used such that parts of the user’s body other than the hands should be maintained at a comfortable distance of approximately 20cm or more. FCC Part 68 and ACTAIf this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68 rules and with Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to provide you with the following information.1. Product identier and REN informationThe label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an identier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This information must be provided to your local telephone company upon request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product identier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the product identier US:AAAEQ3T123XYZ would indicate an REN of 0.3. The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be ve (5.0) or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company for more information. 2.
