Caller ID

About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services that most local telephone service companies provide. Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number from the telephone company after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date, and time of calls.

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 telephone, even while on another call.

It might be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone company 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.

DISJTUJOF!TNJUI

999.833.8813

NEW

21;12

:036

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. The time and date are from the telephone company along with the call information.

Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 37).

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

Caller ID history

How the caller ID history (call 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.

Review the caller ID history to find out who called, to easily return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory.

XX MISSED CALL(S) appears if there are new call log entries (including missed and unreviewed calls). CALL LOG EMPTY appears if there are no records in the call log.

NOTES:

1. Only one handset can review the caller ID history at a time. If another handset tries to enter the directory or caller ID history, it shows NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

2. Each entry can have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.

Caller ID operation

Memory match

If the incoming telephone number exactly matches 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 you see on your caller ID is in the format from the phone company. The phone company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name appears the same from the phone company. For example, if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name is the one which the phone company sends.

About the answering system

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication. Most telephone companies offer voicemail services (fees may apply). Your telephone’s answering system and voicemail indication are independent features. Each alerts you to new messages differently. For more information on the voicemail indicators, see page 13. To listen to your voicemail, you typically follow the instructions that your voicemail service provider provides. To listen to messages on your digital answering system, press PLAY button on the telephone base.

If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service through your telephone service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your voicemail to answer calls after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings.

NOTE: Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings; in this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting. By doing this, 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.

/STOP

Message capacity

The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and the maximum recording time is approximately 14 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 number of messages and F are flashing alternatively in the message

counter, the memory is full. You must delete some messages before recording new ones.

Turn the answering system on or off at the telephone base

Press ANSWER ON/OFF to turn the answering system on or off. If the answering system is turned on, it announces, “Calls will be answered.” If the answering system is turned off, it announces, “Calls will not be

answered.”

• You may be able to improve the performance of your cordless phone by installing your new telephone base as far as possible from any other existing cordless telephone system that may already be installed.

• Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away from the following electronic devices as possible: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.

• Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet. You might experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating.

• If you plug your phone in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this does not solve the problem, re-locate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.

• Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone might have better reception in a high area.

• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

• Relocate your telephone base to a higher location. The phone might have better reception when installed in a high area.

• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

The charge light is off.

My caller ID isn’t working.

• Make sure you plug the power and line cords in correctly and securely.

• Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to reset.

• Clean the cordless handset and telephone base charging contacts each month with a pencil eraser or cloth.

• Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from your local telephone company for this feature to work on your phone.

• The caller must be calling from an area that supports caller ID.

• Both you and your caller’s telephone companies must use caller ID compatible equipment.

Appendix D

Troubleshooting

• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack (page 5). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems resulting from DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

System does not receive caller ID when on a call.

Incomplete messages.

Difficulty hearing messages.

System does not answer after correct number of rings.

• Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features from your local telephone company. Caller ID features works only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

• If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system disconnects the call after four minutes.

• If the caller pauses for longer than seven seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.

• If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.

• If the caller's voice is very soft, the system may stop recording and disconnects the call.

• Press VOLUMEST to increase speaker volume.

Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

• Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you must treat it with care.

• Avoid rough treatment.

• Place the handset down gently.

• Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

• You can damage your telephone if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

• Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms.

Cleaning your telephone

• Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.

• Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if you use it when wet or standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the telephone out by the unplugged cords.

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.

Appendix F

Important safety information

• 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.

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.

Especially about telephone answering systems
