FCC and IC Regulations FCC and IC Regulations
FCC Part 68
The FCC requires that you connect
your cordless telephone to the nation-
wide telephone network through a
modular telephone jack (USOC RJI 1 C,
R J l l W or RJ14).
Your telephone company may discon-
tinue 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 com-
pany may make changes in its facili-
ties, equipment, operation, or proce-
dures 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 serv-
iceable parts. The handset contains
a user replaceable battery pack.
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.
This equipment may not be used on
coin service provided by the phone
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.OA total;
however, contact your local telephone
company for the specific number in
your area.
