• Communication devices such as: personal computers, computer routers,
television sets, VCRs, wireless routers (wireless broadband, wi-fi, or 802.11)
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.
• Excessive moisture.
• Extremely low temperatures.
• Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of the washing machine or
work bench.

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 when 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, and they may not be
available in all areas.
Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s number or the caller’s name and number. 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.

Information about the last 30 incoming calls is
stored in the call log. You can review the call log to
find out who has called, return the call, or copy the
caller’s name and number into directory.
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted
to make room for new incoming call information.
If you answer a call before the information appears
on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
About names
Names of callers will be displayed only if the information is provided by your local telephone company.
If the incoming telephone number matches an exact
number in your directory, the name that appears on
screen will match the name in your directory.
For example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will
appear as CHRIS if this is how you entered it into
your directory.

NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the

number). If the telephone number of the person calling does
not exactly match a number in your directory, the name will
appear as delivered by the phone company. For example if the
phone company includes the area code and the directory
number does not, the name will appear as delivered by the

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 telephone
base and 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: This power adapter is intended to be plugged into a vertical
wall outlet or a floor outlet. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in
place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or 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.
Especially about telephones answering systems
Two-way recording: This telephone does not sound warning beeps to let the
other party know 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 call.

Appendix
FCC Part 15
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements
for a Class B digital device under Part 15 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules.
These requirements are intended to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
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 user’s body other than the hands are maintained at a
distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches) or more. If you choose to use a
clipping device, please make sure to only use the supplied AT&T belt clip.
