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:

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).

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 Limited Warranty.

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.

HEADSET INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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

In the US Call:

VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511.

In Canada Call:

VTECH Electronics 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 pack is properly charged. If the Belt Pack emits two beeps as you press PHONE, the batteries need charging. If the PHONE LED does not light when you press PHONE, you must charge the batteries.

If you recently installed a new battery pack, make sure it is installed correctly.

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. Call your local telephone company.

YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A WEAK SIGNAL EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NEAR THE BASE UNIT.

Household appliances plugged into the same

circuit as the base unit can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base unit to another outlet.

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.

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.

THE BELT PACK DOES NOT RING WHEN YOU RECEIVE A CALL.

Ensure that the ringer is turned on.

Make sure the telephone line 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 unplugging some of the other phones.

YOUR CALLER FADES IN AND OUT.

You may be nearly out of range. Move closer, or relocate the base.

YOU HEAR OTHER CALLS WHILE USING YOUR PHONE.

Replace the Belt Pack in the base cradle, wait a few moments and try again.

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.

YOU HEAR NOISE IN THE BELT PACK, AND NONE OF THE KEYS OR BUTTONS WORK.

Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

Your base unit and Belt Pack may not be operating on the same channel or security code. Place the Belt Pack in the cradle for a few moments to reload the security code and reset the channel.

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 Belt Pack 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.

2.Disconnect the Belt Pack battery pack.

3.Wait a few minutes.

4.Connect power to the Base.

5.Reconnect the Belt Pack battery.

6.Place the Belt Pack in the Base unit cradle. If the Belt Pack has not been recently charged, allow 8 hours before use.

The VT1411 is designed for your hands-free operation. You should use your phone with the headset provided.

INSTALLATION

Make sure you have a compatible 2.5mm Headset with you. Locate the Headset Jack on the Belt Pack of your VT1411. Connect the plug on the Headset to the jack on the cordless Belt Pack. The plug should fit securely. Do not force the connection. See illustration.

The VTECH brand compatible Headset has a monaural design which is reversible, so you can wear your Headset on either the left or right ear, leaving one ear free for room conversation.
