Information about caller ID with call waiting

This product has a caller ID function with call waiting feature which works only 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 in order 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.

NOTES:

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.

2. The number shown by your caller ID will be in the format sent by the telephone compa ny. The telep hone company usually delivers 10-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 telephone company. For example, if the telephone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name will appear as delivered by pany.

If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call summary.

About names

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

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.
