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 surface or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 10). For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see page 6). 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.

Backup batteries installation and use

In the event of a power failure, your telephone can still operate with limited functions if there are backup batteries (purchased separately) installed in the telephone base. If a power failure happens during a call on the corded handset, the call continues (at the lowest volume) until you hang up; while a call on the cordless handset or speakerphone disconnects immediately.

During a power failure, you can still make and answer calls using the corded handset. However, you cannot make or answer calls on the cordless handset or speakerphone.

If power resumes while you are on a call, the call continues and the telephone resets once you hang up.

Caller ID

About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services that most 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 service provider 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, 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 companies use compatible equipment. The time and date are from the telephone service provider 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 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

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 shared by the telephone base and all system 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 party can review the caller ID history at a time. If another party tries to enter the directory or caller ID history, it shows NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

2. Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the phone number has more than 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. For call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, in order to view the entire number, you must save the entry to the Directory (page 52). For instructions on viewing the digits, see the note on page 43. If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it is not saved or shown in the call log. The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call.

3. The callers might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

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 from the phone company records. For example, if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name appears as delivered by the phone company.

Missed (new) calls indicator

When a cordless handset or the telephone base is in idle mode and has unreviewed calls, its screen shows XX MISSED CALLS.

All unreviewed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a call log entry with the icon NEW, the number of missed calls decreases by one.

If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but you still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you can press and hold OFF/CLEAR on a cordless handset or press and hold CLEAR on the telephone base for four seconds when the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history become old (have been reviewed), and the system removes the missed calls alert from the display.

About the answering system

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.

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, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.

To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press

•

PLAY/STOP button on the telephone base (page 57).

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.

You can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers. 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 by following the instructions below.

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 six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.

Message capacity

The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

Turn the answering system on or off at the telephone base

Press ANSWER ON 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.”

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.

Especially about telephone answering systems

Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party that you are recording the conversation.
