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 your local telephone company along with the call information.

Caller ID operation

Memory match

Names of callers will be displayed only if the information is provided by your local telephone company.

If the telephone number of the caller exactly matches a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen will match the corresponding name already in the directory.

Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as Chris if this is how it was entered in the directory.

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

mat sent by the telephone company. The telephone company usually delivers ten-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone 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 tele- phone company. For example if the telephone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name will appear as delivered by the telephone company.

Missed calls

When a handset is in idle mode with calls un-reviewed, its screen will show XX MISSED CALLS.

Un-reviewed entries will be counted as missed calls when the telephone is idle. Each time a call log entry marked NEW is reviewed, the number of missed calls decreases by one.

If there are too many missed calls and you don’t want to review them one by one but still want to keep them in the call log, press and hold OFF/CLEAR for four seconds when the handset is idle. All un-reviewed entries in the caller ID log will be considered old, and the counter is reset to 0.

Before using the answering system, follow the steps on the left of this page to set the day, time and year, so that messages are dated correctly. If the clock is not set, before new messages are recorded, the system will announce "Time and day not set" before each message is played back.

Caller ID provides the time and date. Set the year so that the day of the week can be calculated from the caller ID information. After you set the time once, it will thereafter be set automatically with incoming caller ID information. The time will be set automatically only if you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your local telephone company (page 25).

• The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.

• Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet.

• Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.

• If you have a headset plugged into the handset, try unplugging it and firmly plugging it in again.

• Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone. It is normal to experience static on your telephone while the microwave oven is operating. Do not install this telephone in the same outlet or near a microwave oven.

• If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.

• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Trying moving the base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception.

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.

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.
