About Caller Identification

• The Caller ID feature works with Caller Identification service provided by your local telephone company. There is a fee for this service,and it may not be available in all areas. This phone can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller Identification service,and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. Depending on your service,you will be able to see the number,or the name and number, of your caller.

• Caller ID with Call Waiting allows you to see who’s calling even while you’re on another call.

• This feature requires Caller ID with Visual Call Waiting combined service available through your local telephone company. If you

are already subscribing to Caller ID and Call Waiting as separate services, you need to request a subscription to Caller ID with Visual Call Waiting as a single, combined service.

• If you choose not to use the Call Waiting feature,this unit will also work with regular Caller ID service. Such services are not available in all areas. To turn off Caller ID with Call Waiting,see the FEATURE SETUP section of this manual. The time and date are sent by the provider, along with the call information.

This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so,this handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset,the weather,and the construction of your home or office. For best performance,keep the base antenna fully upright.

If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring — or if it does ring,the call might not connect when you press P. Move closer to the base,then press P to answer the call.

If you move out of range during a phone conversation,you might hear noise or interference. To improve reception,move closer to the base.

If you move out of range without pressing P,your phone will be left “off the hook.” To hang up properly,walk back into range,periodically pressing P.

BATTERIES

Battery Life

Battery life depends on how far the handset is from the base,and other environmental conditions.

NOTE: For optimum battery performance, charge your handset on the base every night.

Operation: Approximate Battery Life:

IN USE Near base unit 4 hours (phone on) Away from base unit 2 1/2 hour s

NOT IN USE Powersave off 4 days

Powersave on 17 days

Charge the Handset Battery Pack

This battery should remain charged up to four days with Powersave turned off and up to 17 days with Powersave on. A fully charged battery provides an average talk time of about three hours.

The battery pack needs charging when:

• A new batter y is installed in the handset.

• The phone beeps four times when you press P.

• The battery status symbol on the screen is only partly displayed.

• The phone does not respond when you press P.

Place the handset in the base either in the face-down or face-up position so the CHARGING light turns on. The battery pack is typically fully charged in six hours. For best results,the initial charge should be 12 hours.

You can keep the batter y fully charged by returning the handset to the base after each use.

If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator,even after four hours of charging,the battery should be replaced.
