This product has a caller ID with call waiting feature which works with service from your local telephone service provider.

You may need to change your phone service to use this feature.

• you don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.

You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

There are fees for caller ID services, but these may not be available in all areas.

The time and date are sent by the service provider along with the call information.

Before you begin

This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.

If there is a call while the handset is out of range, the handset might

not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press

PHONE/

FLASH. Move closer to the

telephone base, then press

PHONE/FLASH to answer

the call.

If the handset is out of range during a telephone conversation,

there might be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.

If you move out of range without pressing

OFF/CLEAR, your telephone

will be disconnected after five seconds. To hang up properly, walk back toward the telephone base, periodically pressing

OFF/CLEAR until the call is

disconnected.
