The RBRCä Seal
ä
The RBRC Seal on the (easily removable) Nickel-Cadmium battery (contained in your
product) indicates that Audiovox Communications Corp. (Audiovox) is voluntarily participating
in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful lives.
ä
When taken out of service within the United States, the RBRC program provides a
convenient alternative to placing used Nickel-Cadmium batteries into the trash or municipal
waste, which is illegal in some areas.
ä
Audivox’s participation in RBRC makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local
retailers of replacement Nickel-Cadmium batteries, or at authorized AUDIOVOX’s product
service centers. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to
return the spent battery. Please call 1-800-8BATTERY for information on Ni-Cd battery
recycling in your area. AUDIOVOX’s involvement in this program is part of its commitment in
protecting our environment and conserving natural resources.
Detach the battery compartment cover on the handset. Then, remove the Nickel-Cadmium
battery pack.

Number. You must, upon request, provide this information to your local telephone company.
This equipment is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.
Should you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact:
AUDIOVOX COMMUNICATIONS CORP. SERVICE DEPARTMENT at (800) 229-1235.
The telephone company may ask you to disconnect this equipment from the line network until
the problem has been corrected.
FCC Part 15
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliances 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 on and off,
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.
Connect the equipment to an outlet or on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Part 68
The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nationwide telephone
network through a modular telephone jack (USOC RJ11C, RJ11W, 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, your telephone 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 advanced 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.
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 AUDIOVOX 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 5.0A total: however, contact your local telephone company for
the specific number in your area.
IC (Industry Canada)
This telephone is registered for use in Canada.
NOTICE:
The REN assigned to this device denotes the number of devices you may connect
to the telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent overloading. The termination on a
loop may consist of any combination of devices subjected only to the requirement that the
sum of the REN does not exceed five (5.0).
NOTICE:
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and
safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the
user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance
with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of services in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance
facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to
request the user to disconnect the equipment.
User 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 inspections authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
Your GX2401c 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.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
This cordless phone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties in
using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. while these are normal, the following could
affect the operation of your system.
NOISE: Electric pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is
most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electric equipment such as light
dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio
frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your
handset. Generally, they are minor annoyances and should not be interpreted as defects in
your system.
RANGE: Because radio frequencies are used, location of the base unit can affect operating
range. Try several locations in your home or business and pick the one that gives you the
clearest signal.
INTERFERENCE: Some electronic devices operate in and/or generate interference near the
operating frequencies of your cordless telephone. while several protection circuits are used to
prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals cause
interference. If interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by lowering
the height of your base antenna or by relocating the base unit. You can check for interference
before selecting the final base unit location by plugging in the phone.
