Installation
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet
not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat
surface or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 8). For optimum range and
better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line)
through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone
line cord and the telephone wall jack (see the following page). The filter prevents
noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL
service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the handset
or telephone base display - remove it before use.

Communication devices such as television sets, VCRs, or other
cordless telephones.
Excessive heat sources.
Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave
ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.

Caller ID announce
The caller ID announce feature lets you know who’s calling without having
to look at the display. When you have an incoming call, the handset and/or
base speaks “Call from...” and the name of the caller based on the directory
or caller ID information. If the caller’s name is private or unknown, the phone
number up to the last 11 digits will be spoken. If the caller’s phone number
is also private or unknown, no information will be spoken. By default, the
caller ID announce feature is programmed On.
To turn on/off the caller ID announce on your handset
or base:
1. Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Settings, then press
MENU/SELECT.
3. Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Caller ID annc, then
press MENU/SELECT.
4. Use qCID or pDIR to highlight >HANDSET or >BASE, then
press MENU/SELECT.
5. Use qCID or pDIR to highlight >On or >Off, then press
MENU/SELECT. There is a confirmation tone and the screen
returns to the previous menu.
NOTES:
To use the caller ID announce feature, you must subscribe to caller ID service from your
telephone service provider.
When there are up to 5 handsets registered, the telephone system supports caller ID announce
for all handsets. If 6 or more handsets are registered, the system supports caller ID announce for
the first 4 registered handsets only.
This feature does not announce information for call waiting calls.
It takes at least 2 rings for the phone to receive caller ID information and announce it. If the
phone is answered before the end of the second ring, the phone won’t have time to announce
the caller’s information.
Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be pronounced correctly.
Caller ID announce is available in English only.

code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive a call from
within your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the 7 digits of the
telephone number.
This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller
ID log. If you dial 10 digits to make a local phone call, do not use

shows Area code will not show in CID briefly before returning to the
previous menu.
NOTE: If in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits to
make a local call (area code plus telephone number), you need to delete your home
area code and dial out locally from the caller ID log. With the home area code displayed,
press and hold MUTE/DELETE until the digits are deleted, and then press MENU/SELECT.
The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
