Information about Caller ID with Call Waiting
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that
works with services from your local telephone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see the name of the
caller before you answer the telephone, even when you’re
on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use
this feature. 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 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.
Depending on your service subscription, 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 service provider along with the call
information.

About caller identification
(CID)
The 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, or
• you do not subscribe to any
Caller ID or Call Waiting services but wish to try them now.
You can use this telephone 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 these services may not be available in all
areas.
The 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.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates
with 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 layout of your home or office.
If there is a call while the
handset is out of range, it might
not ring — or if it does ring, the
call might not connect well when
you press /PHONE/FLASH. M o ve
closer to the telephone base, then
press /PHONE/FLASH to answer
the call.
If the handset moves out of
range during a telephone conversation, there might be interfer-
ence. To improve reception, move
closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing /OFF/CANCEL, the
telephone will be disconnected
after five seconds.

electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
NOTE: Use only the power adapter supplied with this product. If you need a replacement,
