About Caller Identification
Caller ID with Call Waiting features in this telephone lets you see who’s call­ing before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company.
Contact your telephone service pro­vider 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 don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this phone with regular Caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas.
Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.
See Caller ID Operation, beginning on page 27, for more details about how these features work.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, the handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not
ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press PHONE. Move closer to the base, then press
PHONE to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might
hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left
off the hook. To hang up properly, walk back towards the telephone base, peri­odically pressing OFF until the call is disconnected.

Caller ID Log
How Caller ID works
If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by your local phone company, information about each caller will be displayed after the first ring.
Information about the last 50 incoming calls is stored in the call log. You can review the call log to find out who has called, easily return the call, or copy the caller’s name and number into your 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.
NOTE: Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in
areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compati­ble equipment.
Shared Caller ID Log
The Caller ID Log is stored in the base, and is shared by the base and all handsets. Changes made at the base or at any handset will be reflected in all.

Caller ID Log
About names
Names of callers will be displayed only if this information is provided by your local telephone company.
If the telephone number of the person calling exactly matches a number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen will match the name that you entered into your direc­tory.
(Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.)
NOTE: The phone company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers,
so if you have to dial a 1 first, or if you only dial seven digits, the name will
appear as delivered by the phone company.

Day and time announcements
To set day and time

Adding new handsets
Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add new handsets (E560-2, purchased separately) to the E5655 at any time, but each handset must be registered with the base before use.
The handset provided with your E5655 is automatically registered as Handset 1. Additional handsets will be assigned numbers in the order they are registered (Handset 2, Handset 3, or Handset 4). You can register a maximum of 4 handsets.
The E5654B has four handsets automatically registered as Handsets 1, 2, 3 and 4. You cannot register any additional handsets to the E5654B.

My tele­phone does not work at all
• Make sure the battery pack is installed and charged correctly (see page 7). For optimum daily performance, return the cordless hand­set to the telephone base after use.
• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the tele­phone base and the modular wall jack.
• Unplug the unit's electrical power. Wait for approximately 15 sec­onds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and base to synchronize.
• Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to purchase a new battery pack.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a working telephone. If this telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the local service. Call the local tele­phone company.
Low Battery is displayed on screen
• Place the handset in the base or charger for recharging.
• Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally until fully discharged, then recharge the handset on the telephone base or charger for 16 hours.

Troubleshooting
Problem Suggestion
There is no dial tone
• First, try all the above suggestions.
• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range.
• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord.

I cannot dial out
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the cord­less handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dial­ing.
• Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode (pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in your area. Refer to the Telephone Operation section of this user's manual (page 18 for the handset and page 21 for the telephone base) to set the dial mode.
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the telephone jack, wiring or local service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances may cause the telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background noise.

• Test a working telephone at the telephone jack. If another telephone has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone jack, the wiring, or the local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).
• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord.
• Re-install the battery and place the cordless handset in the telephone base.
• Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the telephone base. To be safe, allow up to one minute for this to take place.

Troubleshooting
Problem Suggestion
There is noise or interference dur­ing a telephone conversation

• Select channels 4 through 10 for your router (refer to the user's man­ual of your router for more information).
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact the local tele­phone company (charges may apply).
