Feature highlights

Phonebooks

This unit provides the handset phonebook (200 names and phone numbers; page 20) and the shared phonebook (20 names and phone numbers: KX-TCD240 only; page 22). These phonebooks allow you to make calls without having to dial manually. For handset phonebook, you can assign each handset phonebook entry to the desired category, and search for handset phonebook entries by name or category.

Handset phonebook category

If you subscribe to Caller ID service, handset phonebook categories (page

Audible call is available only after subscribing to Caller ID service (page

37).

Caller ID Service

Using Caller ID service

Important:

L This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use

Caller ID features (such as displaying caller phone numbers), you must subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult your service provider for details.

Caller ID features

When an outside call is received, the caller’s phone number can be displayed.

L Phone numbers of the last 50 different

callers will be logged in the caller list.

L While listening to a message recorded by

the answering system using the handset, you can call back the caller without having to dial the phone number (KX-TCD240 only; page 49).

L When caller information is received and it

matches a phone number stored in the unit’s phonebook:

– The stored name will be displayed and

logged in the caller list. – The handset will use the ringtone

assigned to the caller’s category. – Both the base unit and handset will

announce the audible call recording you

made (KX-TCD240 only).

L If the unit is connected to a PBX system,

you may not receive the caller information.

L When the caller dialled from an area

which does not provide Caller ID service, “Out of Area” will be displayed.

L When the caller requested not to send

caller information, either no information or

“Private Caller” will be displayed.

Missed calls

If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call. The number of missed calls is shown on the display. This lets you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were out.

Category features for handset phonebook

Categories can help you identify who is calling by using different ringtones for different categories of callers. When adding an entry to the handset phonebook you can assign it to the desired category (page 20). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a category, the category’s ringtone you select is used.

Changing category ringtones

You can select a ringtone for each category. If you select “Ext. Ringtone”, the unit will use the external ringtone you set on page 27 when calls from this category are received. The default setting is “Ext.

Ringtone”.

For voice mail service subscribers

Please note the following: – To receive messages correctly with your

voice mail service, we recommend that you do not use the unit’s answering system. Make sure that the answering system is turned off (page 46).

– If you would rather use the unit’s

answering system rather than the voice mail service provided by your service provider, ask your service provider to deactivate your voice mail service.

If your service provider cannot do this, set this unit’s “Number of Rings” setting so that this unit’s answering system answers calls before the service provider’s voice mail service tries to answer your calls. It is necessary to check the number of rings required to activate the voice mail service provided by your service provider before changing this setting.

Multi-unit Operation

Operating additional units

Additional handsets

Up to 6 handsets can be registered to a single base unit. Additional handsets will give you the freedom to, for example, have an intercom call with another handset while a third handset is on an outside call. See page 6 for information on ordering additional handsets.

Important:

L The additional handset model

recommended for use with this unit is noted on page 6. If other model handset is used, certain operations (handset settings, base unit settings, etc.) may not be available.

Additional base units

Handsets can be registered to up to 4 base units, allowing you to add additional base units and extend the area in which your handset(s) can be used. If a handset moves out of range of its base unit when “Auto” is selected on base unit selection (page 54), it will look for another base unit to make or receive calls. A base unit and the handsets it communicates with is called a “radio cell”.

Note:

L Calls will be disconnected when the

handset moves from one radio cell to another.

L Intercom calls and call transfers are only

possible between handsets in the same radio cell.

Registering a handset to a base unit

To register an additional handset to a base unit (easy registration)

The included handset and base unit are preregistered. After purchasing an additional handset, register it to the base unit. Ensure that the additional handset is switched on. If it is not on, press and hold {ih} for few seconds to turn the handset on.

1 Lift the additional handset and press

{ih} to put the handset in standby mode.

2 Press and hold {x} on the base unit for

about 3 seconds, until the registration tone sounds.

3 Place the additional handset on the

base unit. The registration tone continues to sound. With the handset still on the base unit, wait until a confirmation tone sounds and w stops flashing.

Note:

L If an error tone sounds, or if w is still

flashing, register the handset manually (manual registration; page 54).

L Charge the batteries of your additional

handset for about 7 hours before initial use.

L This registration method cannot be used

for handsets that have already been registered to a base unit. Register the handset manually (manual registration; page 54).
