BEFORE YOU BEGIN
About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact your phone service provider if:
•You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service)
•You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
•You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.
About Call History
This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 99. The most recent call will have the highest number. When the memory is full, the oldest call information is deleted to make room for new incoming call information.
If you answer a call before call information appears on the screen, it will not be in the call history.
About Home Area Code and Local Area Codes
Always program your home area code, and, if you need them, up to four local area codes (see “Set Home Area Code” and “Set Local Area Codes” on pages 8 and 9). Programming these area codes will change how numbers are displayed in the call history, and will allow for correct operation of the Display Dial feature.

INSTALLATION
Table/Desk Installation
1(Optional) You can adjust how much the phone tilts by pushing outward with your thumbs on the recessed “feet.” Push the feet out from the inside of the base, until they snap into place. If a foot comes out, align the arrow on the foot with the arrow on the base, and squeeze the foot back in from the inside of the base.
2Set the dial mode.
This phone comes set for touch tone dialing (TT). If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, set the swich on the underside of the phone to DP.
3Attach the base to the telephone.
Turn the base so that the smaller end is toward the bottom of the telephone, then attach.
4Connect the line cord to the telephone.
5Thread the power cord through the strain-relief tab, then plug it into the jack labeled POWER.
(Make sure the plug is vertically oriented.)
Use only the power cord supplied with this product. If you need a replacement, call 1 800 222-3111.

This phone comes set for tone dialing. If you have pulse dialing service, you cannot dial numbers with the phone set to tone. Set the switch on the underside of the base to TT (touch tone) or DP (dial pulse/rotary), depending on your service.
2Connect the line cord to the telephone
Plug the short line cord into the jack labeled TEL LINE, then thread it through the channel on the bottom of the set.
3Attach the base to the telephone.
Make sure the pull-out feet are not extended. Turn the base so that the larger end is toward the bottom of the telephone. Attach the base by inserting the tabs into the slots. Push down on the large end of the base so the tabs are in the slots, and the base locks in place. Pull the loose end of the line cord through the rectangular opening on the bottom of the base.
