In Case Of Difficulty

If you have difficulties in operating your phone, the suggestions below should solve the problem. If you still have difficulties after trying these suggestions, call

VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH

Telecommunications Canada Ltd. at 1-800-267-7377.

The Phone Doesn’t Work At All

• Make sure the Power Cord is plugged in.

• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the Base Unit and the telephone wall jack.

• Make sure the battery is properly charged. If you get a LOW BATTERY message or indication, the battery needs charging.

No Dial Tone

• First check all the suggestions above.

• If you still don’t hear a dial tone, disconnect the Base Unit from the telephone jack and connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company.

You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak Signal Even When You are Near The

Base Unit

• Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the Base Unit can sometimes cause interference. Try to move the appliance or the Base Unit to another outlet.

You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak Signal When You are Away From The

Base Unit

• You may be out of range. Either move closer to the Base, or relocate the Base

Unit.

• The layout of your home may be limiting the range. Try to move the Base Unit to another position.

The Handset Does Not Ring When You Receive A Call

• Make sure you have the ringers activated. Refer to the section(s) on Ringer

Volume and Answering System Feature Setup in this User's Manual.

• Make sure the telephone cord is plugged firmly into the Base Unit and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

• You may be too far from the Base Unit.

• You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try to unplug some of the other phones.

You Hear Other Calls While Using Your Phone

• Disconnect your Base Unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.

33

In Case Of Difficulty

You Hear Noise In The Handset, And None Of The Keys Or Buttons Work

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

Common Cure For Electronic Equipment

If the unit does not seem to be responding normally, then try to put the

Handset in the cradle. If it does not seem to respond, do the following (in the order listed):

1. Disconnect the power to the Base.

2. Disconnect the Handset battery.

3. Wait a few minutes.

4. Connect power to the Base.

5. Re-install the battery.

6. Watch for Handset to display: VTECH or your own handset name.

34

Maintenance

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 Base Unit 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 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.

The equipment has been tested and found to comply with 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

39

FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations 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 has such a low power that it does not require testing. It may be safely held against the ear of the user.

FCC Part 68 and ACTA

If 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 identifier and REN information

The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an identifier 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 identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ 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 five (5.0) or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company for more information.

2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network

The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and the telephone network must comply with the 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 connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines. See Installation

Instructions in the user’s manual. This equipment may not be used with Coin

Telephone Lines or with Party Lines.

The telephone company is required to notify you before interrupting 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.

5. Hearing aid compatibility

If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless Handset, it is hearing aid compatible.

6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers

If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire department and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do, please keep three things in mind: a We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory card, so that you can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory dialing feature doesn’t work.

b This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.

c Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not recommended. However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:

• You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before hanging up.

• Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed during off-peak hours, such as in the early morning or late evening, when the emergency services tend to be less busy.

IC (Industry Canada)

This telephone is registered for use in Canada.

The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry

Canada technical specifications were met.

41

FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations

Notice:

This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment

Technical Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.

Notice:

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.1. The

REN assigned to each terminal equipment provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.

Before installing this equipment, user should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of services in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution:

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Your Cordless Phone 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 - which will depend on the location of the Base Unit and Handset, weather, and the construction and layout of your home or office.
