outlet.  
COMMON CURE FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT  
Electronics, like people, can sometimes get confused.  
If the unit does not seem to be responding normally,  
then try putting the handset in the cradle to re-initialize  
the unit. If it still does not seem to respond, perform  
the following steps (in the order listed):  
1. Disconnect the power to the Base.

longer pauses, press PAUSE two or more  
times. Each additional press indicates an  
additional 2 second pause.  
If your phone is connected to a PBX you can  
store the PBX access number and a pause  
before the phone number. For example, to  
store 9-PAUSE-555-1234 in memory location  
8 do the following:  
YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A WEAK SIGNAL  
WHEN YOU'RE AWAY FROM THE BASE UNIT.  
You may be out of range. Either move closer to the  
base, or relocate the base unit.  
This feature is useful in locating a  
misplaced Handset.  
The layout of your home may be limiting the range.  
Try moving the base unit to the second or third  
floor, or to some other location.  
5. Reconnect the Handset battery.  
6. Place the handset in the Base unit cradle. If the  
Handset has not been recently charged, allow 8  
hours before use.

FCC AND IC REGULATIONS  
This equipment complies with FCC AND IC REGULATIONS 15 and 68 of  
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules for the United  
States. It also complies with regulations RSS-210 and CS-03 of Industry  
Canada (IC).  
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 5.0 total; however, contact your local telephone company for  
the specific number in your area.  
A label is located on the underside of the base unit containing either  
the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) or  
the IC registration number and Load Number.You must, upon request,  
provide this information to your local telephone company.  
This equipment is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.  
IC (Industry Canada)  
This telephone is registered for use in Canada.  
Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certified  
equipment. This certification means that the equipment  
meets certain telecommunications network, protective,  
operational and safety requirements. Industry Canada  
does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the  
user’s satisfaction.  
FCC Part 15  
Warning: Changes or modifications 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 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:  
Before installing this equipment, users 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 connections. The  
customer should be aware that compliance with the above  
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in 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.  
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.  
FCC Part 68  
The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the  
nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone jack (USOC  
RJ11C or RJ11W).  
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections  
themselves, but should contact appropriate electric  
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.  
Notice: The REN assigned to this device denotes the number  
of devices you may connect to the telephone loop  
which is used by the device to prevent overloading.The  
termination on a loop may consist of any combination  
of devices subjected only to the requirement that the  
sum of the REN does not exceed five(5.0).  
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.  
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  
LimitedWarranty.  
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
