FCC and IC Regulations

FCC Part 68

The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nation- wide telephone network through a modulartelephonejack (USOCRJI1C, R J l l W or RJ14).

Your telephone company may discon- tinue 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.

Occasionally, your telephone com- pany may make changes in its facili- ties, equipment, operation, or proce- dures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so, you will be given advance notice of the change to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

The base unit contains no user serv- iceable parts. The handset contains a user replaceable battery pack.

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 Limited Warranty.

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the phone company or Party Lines.

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.OA total; however, contact your local telephone company for the specific number in your area.

The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degrada- tion of services in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier.

Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should con- tact the appropriate electri- cal inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Your VTech VT 1940 is designed to operate at the maximum power al- lowed by the FCC and IC. This means your handset and base unit can communicate only over a certain dis- tance - which will depend on the location of the base unit and handset, weather, and the construction and layout of your home or office.
