Installation options
Your telephone base is ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your
telephone on a wall, use the provided wall-mount bracket to connect with
a standard dual-stud telephone wall-mounting plate. If you do not have this
mounting plate, you can purchase one from many hardware or consumer
electronic retailers. You might need a professional to install the mounting plate.

With the upper tabs (marked A) on top, align the holes of the wall-mount
bracket with the studs on the standard wall-mounting plate and slide the
bracket down until it locks securely.
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the jack on the bottom of the
telephone base and plug the other end into the telephone wall jack (or
DSL filter). Plug the small end of the telephone base power adapter into
the jack on the bottom of the telephone base and plug the other end into
an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch. Route the telephone
line cord and the power cord through the grooves at the bottom of the
telephone base, accordingly.
Hold the cords to the side of the telephone base. Align the upper slots on
the back of the telephone base just above the upper tabs of the wall-mount
bracket. Make sure the lower slots of the telephone base are also aligned
above the lower tabs of the wall-mount bracket. Push the telephone base
down and against the wall-mount bracket until it clicks securely in place.
If necessary, bundle the telephone line cord and power adapter cord
neatly with twist ties.

About caller ID
This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service
providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls.
The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.
Information about caller ID with call waiting
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and
telephone number of the caller before answering the call,
even while on another call.
It might be necessary to change your telephone service to
use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate
services (you might need to combine these services).
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services 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 service providers use compatible equipment. The
time and date, along with the call information, are from the
telephone service provider.
Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming
call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
To view caller ID log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you
must save the entry to the directory (see page 52).
NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this
product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call
waiting service.

Caller ID history
How the caller ID history (caller ID log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information about the
last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries
are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes
the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new
calls. This information is common to all handsets, so changes
made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the
screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.
NOTE: Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15
characters for the name.
Missed (new) call indicator
When a handset is in idle mode and has new or missed calls,
its screen shows XX Missed calls.
All new or missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each
time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW
on the handset screen), the number of missed calls decreases
by one.
If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but
still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you can
press and hold OFF/CANCEL for four seconds when the
handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history become
old (reviewed already), and the missed calls message goes away.

Memory match
If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven
digits of a telephone number in your directory, the name that
appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in
your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as
Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number shown in the caller ID log will be in the format
sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service
provider usually delivers 10-digit phone numbers (area code plus
telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not
match a number in your directory, the name will appear as it is
delivered by the telephone service provider.
Review the caller ID history
Review the caller ID history to find out who called, to return the call, or to copy
the caller’s name and number into your directory. Caller ID log empty appears

NOTES:
You might need to change how a caller ID number is dialed if the entry does not appear in the
correct format. Caller ID numbers might appear with an area code that is not necessary for
local calls, or without a 1 that is necessary for long distance calls (see View dialing options on
page 51).
If the name you received from the telephone service provider is all in capital letters, the first
letter of every word remains a capital letter, while other letters become lower case. However, the
next letter after the prefix “Mac”, “Mc”, or “O’”, is kept as a capital letter. For example, the “D” in
“MacDonald” is kept as a capital letter.
If the telephone number from the caller ID information has already been saved in the directory
under a different name, the new name will overwrite the old one.

About the answering system
Answering system and voicemail indicators
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those left on its built-in digital answering system
and those left at your telephone service provider’s voicemail
(fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in digital answering
system messages and voicemail messages are separate.
Each alerts you to new messages differently.
If and XX New messages show on the handset
and the message window on the telephone base
flashes, there are new messages in the built-in
answering system. To listen to messages recorded on
your digital
answering system, press /PLAY/STOP
on the telephone base (page 64).
If and New voicemail display on the handset, your telephone service
provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your
voicemail, dial an access number provided by your telephone service
provider, followed by a security code or PIN.
Some telephone service providers bundle or combine multiple services
like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have
voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them,
contact your telephone service provider.
To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn off the
answering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your
voicemail service.
NOTE: After reviewing all new messages, the number of old messages appears on the
message window.

About the answering system
Using the answering machine and voicemail together
You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together
by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail
answers, as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail
settings, contact your telephone service provider. If you are on a call, or if
the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another
call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than
your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers
after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings.
Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls
in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow 6 seconds per ring when
determining the appropriate setting.
Message capacity
The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length
of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes, and the
maximum recording time is approximately 11 minutes. The actual recording
time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available
for replay until you delete them.
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system,
the number of messages stored flashes in the message counter.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time left, it
announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message playback at
the handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low displays on the handset
screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at the telephone
base, it announces, “Calls will be answered. Less than three minutes to record.”
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full,” before
message playback. The handset screen displays Rec mem full in idle mode
and the number of messages and F flash alternately in the message counter at
the telephone base. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering
system back on if it has been turned off, nor can you record new messages
until old ones have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on
the answering system on the handset but there is no memory.

Important safety information
Especially about cordless telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations.
Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves,
so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by
radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should
not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on
corded telephones.
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a
working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from
the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power
is interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the
telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce
or eliminate the interference.
Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive
material such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause
harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do
not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could
release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an
industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries
when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken
to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you
may call 1 (800) 8-BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.
Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary
evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac
pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to
physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,
when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons
using wireless telephones.
