FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Your telephone equipment is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations. 1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company. The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.

Notes

• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.

• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.

• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from your line.

2 Rights of the Telephone Company

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations. The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations of procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

INTERFERENCE INFORMATION

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).

• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.

• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

INSTALLATION & SETUP

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Your Caller ID phone uses 4 AA-size alkaline batteries for receiving and storing Caller ID records and for the numbers you use for memory dialing.

IMPORTANT: You will have approximately 60 seconds to replace the batteries before the memories stored in the handset are lost. Please read the instructions before replacing the batteries and have the batteries ready to be inserted beforehand.

1. If both the straight and coiled line cords are already connected, disconnect them from the base unit. Place the handset off to the side.

2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the battery doors located on the bottom of the base. Once the screws are fully loosened, (they will not come all the way out), slide the doors in the direction of the arrows.

3. Insert 4 AA-size alkaline batteries as shown on the diagram in the battery compartments. Two batteries will be inserted for each compartment.

4. Replace the battery compartment doors securely and tighten the screws, being careful not to strip the threads.

5. If the cords were previously connected, re-attach the line cords to the unit and check your memory locations.

NOTE: If the low battery icon

LOW

appears in the display, you need to replace the batteries. It is important that you replace the batteries as soon as possible in order to maintain Caller ID operation.

During the replacing of batteries, a backup circuit in the unit will retain your stored information for up to 60 seconds. Write down any stored information you do not want erased.

IMPORTANT: If you’re not going to use the telephone for more than 30 days, remove the batteries because they can leak and damage the unit.

SETTING UP THE CALLER ID MENU

You should not plug the telephone into the wall line jack while setting up the Caller ID menu. An incoming call may invalidate the change if it was not yet saved. The phone must display “xx CALLS” before you can enter the setup menu.

1. Press and release the REVIEW up button then hold down the REVIEW down button. “SETUP MENU ^ v” appears.

2. At this point you can press either REVIEW up or down button to scroll among the 6 menu screens, which are:

• SETUP MENU ^ v

• LOCAL AREA CODE (default - - -)

• CID LANGUAGE (default English)

• LCD CONTRAST (default 3)

• T/P DIAL MODE (default tone)

• EXIT SETUP

3. You have 10 seconds following any key press before the phone will automatically return to the “CALLS” summary screen.
