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.
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.
DATA PORT
This phone is equiped with a data port for you to connect to an auxillary phone device, such as a fax machine, computer modem, answering machine, or even a cordless phone.
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 are lost. Please read the instructions before replacing the batteries and have the batteries ready to be inserted beforehand.

Battery compartment
CAUTION: Unplug all phone cords from
the wall before installing or changing batteries.
1. Use a screwdriver to pry up the battery compartment door on the bottom of the phone.
2. Insert 4 AA-size alkaline batteries as shown on the diagram in the battery compartment.
3. Snap the battery compartment door back into place.
4. If the line cord was previously connected, re-attach it to the unit and check your memory locations.
NOTE: If the low battery icon 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.

IF YOU PROGRAMMED YOUR LOCAL AREA CODE OR REGIONAL AREA CODE IN
THE
SET UP MENU
1. Use either REVIEW (or) button to display the number you want to dial.
If you see a number with 7 digits (i.e. 555-1234), then the call was received from within your area code. However, this does not guarantee the call is a local call.
If you see a number with 11 digits (i.e. 1-234-555-1234), then the call received was not from your area code.
2. To adjust the phone number, press the DIAL button. For instance, a 7-digit local number sometimes cannot be dialed because it requires a 10-digit or 11-digit format. Press the DIAL button to scroll through the 7, 10, and 11-digit numbers.

USING THE SPEAKERPHONE
SPEAKERPHONE LOCATION
For best speakerphone performance, avoid the following:
Areas with high background noise. (The microphone might pick up these sounds and prevent the speakerphone from going into the receiving mode when you finish talking.)
Surfaces affected by vibration.
Recessed areas such as in a corner, under a cupboard, or next to a cabinet, which can generate an echo effect.
25
SPEAKERPHONE USE
Note the following guidelines when using the speakerphone:
The speakerphone works similar to a two-way radio in that you can only listen or talk at one time.
Stay reasonably close to the phone so that you can be clearly heard by the person to whom you are talking.
You can adjust the speaker volume by sliding the SPEAKER volume control.
The speakerphone indicator light comes on when the speakerphone is in use.
