must obtain an optional accessory headset, which is compatible with the gz 2334.
To purchase a headset, please call VTech Customer Service at 1-800-267-7377.
Once you have a compatible 2.5mm headset, locate the headset jack on the gz 2334

belt clip. Align the pins on the inside edge of
the clip with the notches on the sides of the
handset. The belt clip should snap securely into
place. Do not force the connection.

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.

No dial tone
•
•
First try 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. Contact 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 another
position.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated
with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your
telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the
rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your base unit near a sink, bathtub, or
shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment.
For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years.
Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use
excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are
wet or standing in water. If your base unit should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE
IT UNTILYOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM
THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

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.

FCC and ACTA Information
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July
23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68 rules

FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations
1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an
identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This
information must be provided to your local telephone company upon request. For equipment
approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC
Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the
product identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the
product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following
the colon. For example, the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an
REN of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone
line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum
of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more information, please contact your local
telephone company.
2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and the telephone
network must comply with the 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 this user’s manual. This equipment may not be used
with Coin Telephone Lines or with Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing
equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment
does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
3. Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must 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. For repair procedures, follow the instructions
outlined under the Limited Warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone company
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone company is required
to notify you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be
notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and
the telephone company is required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation,
or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this product. The telephone
company is required to notify you if such changes are planned.

6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire department
and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do, please
keep three things in mind:

that you can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory dialing feature
doesn’t work.
b. This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.
c. Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not recommended.
However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:
•
You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before
hanging up.
•

FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of
the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are
connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or electrician as appropriate.
Your Cordless Phone is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the FCC
