Your VT9171 is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the FCC &
IC. This means your handset and base unit can communicate only over a certain
distance - which will depend on the location of the base unit and handset, weather,
and the construction and layout of your home or office.
FCC Part 15
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance's could void the user's authority to operate the

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 inter-
ference 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. How-
ever, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-
tion. 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:

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.
Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equip-
ment, operation, or procedures 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 serviceable parts. The handset contains a user
replaceable battery pack.
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC re-
quires 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 Telephone
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 5.0A total. However, contact
your local telephone company for the specific number in your area.
