Installation preparation

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the handset or telephone base display - remove it before use.

Make sure to install four AA alkaline batteries (not included) before using the telephone.

See page 6 for easy instructions.

Before using the telephone, you should install four good AA alkaline batteries (not included) to provide memory backup and enable the use of some features. The four AA batteries are required for caller ID features and the IN USE light to work. If good batteries are not installed, the display only works when you lift the handset.

If you unplug the telephone from the telephone wall jack, or you lose telephone service for over 10 minutes, and good batteries are not installed, the following information is lost: call list, numbers stored in one-touch and two-touch memory, redial list, and all settings in the feature menu. It is recommended that you install new batteries soon after the low battery icon appears.

About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services that most local telephone service companies provide. There is a fee for this service, and it might not be available in all areas. 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 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.

How caller ID works

If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your local telephone company, information about each caller appears between the first and second ring. If an incoming call is answered before the information appears on the screen, no information is stored or displayed.

This telephone deletes the earliest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. The call log stores information about the last 80 incoming calls.

NOTES:

The caller’s name (up to 16 characters) is sent by your local telephone company if you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service.

The area code of the caller is not displayed if it is programmed as the home area code.

If you do not answer a call, the screen displays the call information for about 10 seconds after the ringing stops.

FCC and ACTA information

If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68 rules and with the Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to provide you with the following information.

Product identifier and REN information

The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This information must be provided to your local telephone company upon request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ indicates the REN would be 0.3.

The REN is used to determine how many devices you can connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENS should be five (5.0) or less. You might want to contact your local telephone company for more information.

Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network

This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer

assumes no responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.

Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not

recommended. However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:

You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call

• before hanging up.

Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed

• during off-peak hours, such as in the early morning or late evening, when the emergency services tend to be less busy.
