FCC Pt 15

Ths equpment has been tested and found to comply wth the requrements for a Class B dgtal devce under Part 15 of the Federal Communcatons Commsson

(FCC) rules. These requirements are intended to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, usesand can radate rado frequency energy and, f not nstalled and used n accordance wth the nstructons, may cause harmful nterference to rado communcatons.

However, there s no guarantee that nterference wll not occur n a partcular nstallaton. If ths equpment does cause harmful nterference to rado or televson recep-

ton, whch can be determned by turnng the equpment off and on, the user s encouraged to try to correct the nterference by one or more of the followng measures:Reorent or relocate the recevng antenna.Increase the separaton between the equpment and recever.

Connect the equpment nto an outlet on a crcut dfferent from that to whch the recever s connected.Consult the dealer or an experenced rado/TV techncan for help.

Changes or modications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.

To ensure safety of users, the FCC has establshed crtera for the amount of rado frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander accordng tothe ntended usage of the product. Ths product has been tested and found to comply wth the FCC crtera. The handset may be safely held aganst the ear of the user.

The telephone base shall be installed and used such that parts of the users body other than the hands are maintained at a distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches)or more. If you choose to use a clppng devce, please make sure to only use the suppled VTech belt clp.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2)

Ths devce must accept any nterference receved, ncludng nterference that may cause undesred operaton.Prvacy of communcatons may not be ensured when usng ths telephone.

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 users 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 identier (e.g., if ## is 03, the REN is 0.3). In most, but not all areas,the sum of all RENs should be ve (5.0) or less. For more information, please contact your local telephone company.

Ths equpment may not be used wth Party Lnes. If you have specally wred alarm dalng equpment connected to your telephone lne, ensure the connecton of ths equp -ment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualied installer.

If ths equpment s malfunctonng, t must be unplugged from the modular jack untl the problem has been corrected. Repars to ths telephone equpment can only
