Installation
You must install and
charge the battery before
using the telephone.
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

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 protective stickers covering the handset
and telephone base displays - remove them before use.

The answering system announces the day and time of each message prior
to playing it. Before using the answering system, set the date and time as
follows. If you subscribe to caller ID service, the day, month and time are
set automatically with each incoming call. The year must be set so that the
day of the week can be calculated from the caller ID information. You can
turn off the date and time settings of the caller ID service and set the date
and time manually (see Use caller ID to automatically set date and time
on page 17).
After a power failure or handset registration, the system prompts you to set
the date and time.

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

•
announce for all handsets. If six or more handsets are registered, the system supports caller ID
announce for the first four 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.

If you dial 7 digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter your
area code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive a

This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID log. If you

feature. If you do, you cannot place local calls from your caller ID log, as they
will have only 7 digits.
