Information about caller ID with call waiting
This product has a caller ID function with call
waiting feature which works with service from
your local telephone company.
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 may 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 may need combined
service).
• You have only caller ID service, or only call
waiting service.
• You do not have any caller ID or call waiting
services.
This product can be used with regular caller ID service,
or this product’s other features can be used without
subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID
with call waiting service.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition,
services may not be available in all areas.
Depending on your service, the caller’s number, or
the caller’s name and number may be displayed. 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 sent by the telephone company
along with the call information.

Appendix
Important safety instructions
Especially about cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create
some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of
the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless phone
conversations as being as private as those on corded phones.
• Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be
connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not
be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset
if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical
power is interrupted.
Power adapter: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a
•
vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug
in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an under-the-table/cabinet outlet.
• 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 either nickel-cadmium or nickel-
metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in
order not to short the battery with conducting 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-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Do not dispose of in household garbage. 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-cadmium 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 nickel-cadmium 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 had recommended to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a
breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from
other persons using wireless phones.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio
frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according
to the intended usage of the product. This product has been tested and found to
comply with the FCC criteria. The handset may be safely held against the ear of
the user. The telephone base shall be installed and used such that parts of the
