VTech VT 1900 Cordless Telephone User Manual


 
FCC
Part
68
The FCC requires that you connect
your cordless telephone to the
nationwide telephone network through
a modular telephone jack (USOC
RJIIC, RJIlW or RJ14).
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, yourtelephone company
may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, 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
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.

Your
VTech VT1900 is designed to
operate at the maximum power allowed
by the FCC and 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.
If you move the handset out of range
during a phone conversation, you will
hear an 'Out of Range' tone to tell you
to move closer to the base. If you do
not move within range within 25
seconds the call is automatically
disconnected.
If you move out of range when the
handset is in standby mode, it will give
an 'Out of Range' tone to tell you that
the handset will not be able to receive
or place calls.
