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 to 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 on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone.

To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio 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 may be safely held against the ear of the user. The telephone base shall be installed and used such that parts of the user’s body other than the hands are maintained at a distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches) or more.

VTech accessory handsets are designed to enhance the functionality and convenience of VTech cordless phone systems. These handsets operate seamlessly with the main base unit, allowing users to expand their communication capabilities throughout their home or office. With various models available, VTech offers a range of features and technologies, ensuring users can find the perfect accessory handset to suit their needs.

One of the standout features of VTech accessory handsets is their compatibility with multi-handset systems. Users can connect multiple handsets to a single base unit, making it easy to answer calls from different rooms without being tethered to one location. This is particularly advantageous for larger homes or office environments where mobility is essential. The handsets are designed to work flawlessly within a range of up to 1,000 feet from the base unit, providing ample coverage for most living spaces.

VTech accessory handsets utilize Digital Enhanced Cordless Technology (DECT 6.0). This technology ensures clear voice quality with minimal interference, making phone conversations more pleasant. DECT 6.0 also improves security, encrypting calls to protect users from eavesdropping. Additionally, this technology helps to minimize battery drain, resulting in longer talk times and standby periods for the handsets.

Many VTech accessory handsets come equipped with features such as a large, easy-to-read display, caller ID, and call waiting capabilities. Users can easily manage their call logs, access frequently dialed numbers, and save important contacts. Some models even offer the option to pair with Bluetooth devices, allowing users to take calls directly through their handsets from smartphones, enhancing versatility and convenience.

The handsets are also designed with user experience in mind. They typically include a backlit keypad, making it easy to dial numbers in low-light conditions. Additionally, several models have a built-in intercom feature, which allows for easy communication between handsets without needing to use the main base unit.

In conclusion, VTech accessory handsets offer an impressive array of features and technologies that enhance the user experience with VTech cordless phone systems. Whether for personal use or in a business setting, these handsets provide the flexibility and functionality that users seek, ensuring they remain connected wherever they are in their environment.
