About Caller Identification
Caller ID with Call Waiting features in this telephone let 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 28, 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, this 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. For best performance, keep the base antenna fully upright.
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 toward the telephone base, periodically pressing OFF until the call is disconnected.

Phonebook
Memory capacity
The handset phonebook can store up to 50 entries. Each entry can contain a number up to 32 digits, and a name up to 16 letters long.
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your local telephone company, you can select a picture to be displayed with each phonebook entry. You can also select a distinctive ringing type for each entry, so you know who is calling. A convenient search feature can help you find and dial numbers quickly (see page 20).

If you pause for too long while making an entry the Phonebook will time out and you will have to begin again.
If all memory locations are in use, an error tone will sound when you attempt to enter a new number. This means the memory is full, and you will not be able to store a new number until you delete an existing one.

How Caller ID works
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, information about each caller will be displayed after the first ring.
You can review the log to find out who has called, return the call without dialing, or transfer the caller’s name and number into your phonebook.
The call log can store up to 50 entries. Calls are dis­played in reverse order (most recent first). When the 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 your call log.
Names of callers are displayed only if the information is provided by your local telephone company. If the tele­phone number of the person calling matches a number in your phonebook, the name shown on screen will match the name you entered into your phonebook. (Example: If "Christine Smith" calls, her name will appear as "Chris" if this is how you entered it.)
To review your Caller ID log
The most recent call is displayed first. Use the NavKey buttons to scroll through the list as shown at left.
To return a call
Press PHONE (or SPEAKER) to call the person currently displayed (see page 25 for important dialing options).
To save or delete an entry
Press SAVE to copy the displayed information into your phonebook (see page 19). Press DELETE to delete this entry from your CID log.
To delete all entries
To clear the Caller ID log of all entries, return to the Calls Log menu, then use the NavKey controls to scroll down and select CLEAR CID LOG. To confirm, press YES.

• Make sure the ringer is on (see page 15).
• Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in properly (see page 6).
• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
• Move the handset closer to the base.
• You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.
If you hear noise or interference during a call
• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
• You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
• Appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or base to another outlet.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.
• If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds.
• Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded tele­phone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone service company.
"Check battery" or "Warning! Use Rechargeable Batteries Only" is displayed on screen
• Non-rechargeable batteries have been installed. They must be removed immediately and replaced with rechargeable NiMH batteries (see page 7).
• Rechargeable batteries have been installed but may be old or need to be replaced. Remove and re-install the batteries and use normally until fully discharged then let them fully recharge in the handset or base.
• If the above measures do not correct the problem, your batteries should be replaced (see page 7).

Appendix
If you lose a call after changing channels
Incomplete messages
• You were probably almost out of range. Move closer to the base before changing channels. Before placing another call, set the hand­set in the base for at least 15 seconds.
• If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system disconnects the call after 4 minutes.
• If the caller pauses for more than 7 seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.
• If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.
Difficulty hear­ing messages
• Press ^ to increase speaker volume.
System does not answer after correct number of rings
• Make sure that the answering system is on.
• If Toll Saver is activated, the number of rings changes to 2 when you have new messages waiting (see page 39).
• In some cases, the system may be affected by the ringing system used by the local telephone company.
• If the memory is full or the system is off, the system will answer after 10 rings.
“CL” flashes in message window
• You need to reset the answering system clock (see page 36).
Announcement message is not clear
• When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice, about 9 inches from the base.
• Make sure there is no “background” noise (TV, music, etc.) while you are recording.
System does not respond to remote commands
• Make sure to enter your Remote Access Code correctly (see page 43).
• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone. When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the phone is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.
• The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announce­ment is over before entering the code.
• There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using. Press dial-pad buttons firmly.

Before you begin
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. For best performance, keep the base antenna fully upright.
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 toward the telephone base, periodically pressing OFF until the call is disconnected.
Parts checklist
Remember to save your sales receipt and original packaging in case you ever need to ship your telephone for warranty service. Check to make sure the telephone package includes the following:
