Caller ID
Your phone has a caller ID (CID) with call waiting feature that works with service from your local
phone service provider. Caller ID with call waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the
phone, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact your phone service
provider if:
•
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined
service)
•
•
You have only caller ID service, or only caller waiting service.
You don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, and you can use this product’s other
features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.
There are fees for caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID
service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

I cannot dial out.
• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The handset may take a second or two to find
the base and produce a dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.
• Make sure your phone is set to the correct dial mode for the type of service that you have
(pulse or touchtone). Refer to the Installation section of this user’s manual to set the dial mode.
• If the other phones in your home are having the issue, the problem is in your wiring or local
service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply.)
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or other appliance may cause
the phone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting
the handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background
noise.
My handset beeps
four times and isn’t

FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations
FCC Part 15
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a Class B digital device under Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These requirements
are intended 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 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.
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 base unit 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. If you choose to use a clipping device, please make sure to only use the supplied VTech belt clip.
FCC Part 68 and ACTA
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and with technical requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). The label on the back or bottom of this
equipment contains, among other things, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. This identifier must be provided to your local telephone company upon request.
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to premises wiring and the telephone network must comply with applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also 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 user’s 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
