Caller ID

This product supports caller ID services provided by most local telephone service companies. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller's number, or the caller's name and number which are sent by the telephone company after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls.

About caller ID with call waiting

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.

It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone company if:

• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine these services).

• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.

• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.

Caller ID

How the caller ID history works

The caller ID history stores information about the last 50 incoming calls. Review the caller ID history to find out who called, to easily return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory.

The caller ID history deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new incoming calls.

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

Caller ID

Memory match

If the incoming telephone number matches exactly a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen will match the corresponding name in your directory.

For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.

NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the

format sent by the phone company. The phone company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name will appear as delivered by the phone company. For example if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name will appear as delivered by the phone company.

Missed (new) calls indicator

When a handset is in idle mode and has calls that have not been reviewed, its screen will show X NEW CALLS.

All entries which have not been reviewed will be counted as new calls when the phone is idle. Each time an entry from the caller ID history marked N (new) is reviewed, the number of new calls decreases by one.

Handset & telephone base caller ID history

There are separate caller ID history in the handset and the telephone base. Deleting the caller ID history on any one handset or telephone base will not affect the caller ID history on other handsets.

Each caller ID history can store up to 50 entries, with a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters (including spaces) for the names and 14 digits for the telephone numbers.

The procedure for viewing, deleting, dialing and storing caller ID entries to the directory is the same for both a handset and the telephone base.

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must

be treated with care. Avoid rough treatment. Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to pro-

tect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms.

Cleaning your telephone

Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.

Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

•

Maintenance

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Important safety information

Especially about cordless telephones

Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create

some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think

of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.

Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be con-

nected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch.

Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.

Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies

that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

Rechargeable batteries: This product contains either nickel-cadmium or

nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.

Nickel-metal-hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in

a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.

The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal-hydride rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1-800-8BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.

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 recommends to physicians that:

PACEMAKER PATIENTS

Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker. Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as

in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON. Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.

Especially about telephone answering systems

Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party that you are recording the conversation.
