General product care
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 the telephone base near a sink,
bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause
power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take
caution when using electrical 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 dry non-
abrasive cloth. Do not use dampened
cloth or cleaning solvents of any kind.

DECT 6.0 digital technology
The VTech DECT 6.0 products offer
unsurpassed range performance and
sound clarity. This is achieved through
a unique antenna design and advances
in noise-filtering technology. An
independent laboratory has confirmed
that VTech DECT 6.0 products perform
up to 45% better in range competitions
against similarly equipped phones of
the leading competition. Now, calls can
be taken in the basement, backyard and
garage with exceptional sound quality.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates within
the maximum power allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Even so, this handset and
telephone base can communicate over
a certain distance — which can vary
with the locations of the telephone
base and handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or office.
Redefining long range
coverage and clarity
This telephone base comes with an
antenna which gives much better clarity
and covers a longer range than before.
Simulated full-duplex handset
and base speakerphones
The simulated full-duplex speakerphone
on your handset and telephone base
allow both ends of a call to speak and
be heard at the same time. Optimal
performance is subject to external
factors and individual usage.
