About the station number
When you start charging the battery, HANDSET 1 appears on the display of the cordless handset. This shows the ID number for each cordless handset and base phone of the system, called station number. The station number of the base phone is set to 0 and that of the cordless handset (supplied with the base phone) is set to 1 at the factory. The station number of the cordless handset newly added to the system will be one of the number 2 through 4 in the order of registration. (See Registering additional cordless handsets on page 25.)
HANDSET 1
Battery duration
A fully charged battery pack lasts for about:
Approx. 5 hours when you use the cordless handset continuously
Approx. 6 days when the cordless handset is in standby mode.
Notes
The battery pack will gradually discharge over a long period of time, even when not in use.
If you leave the battery pack in the cordless handset without charging it, the battery pack will be completely discharged.
It may require several times of charging to recover to its full capacity.
While charging, the battery pack warms up. This is not a malfunction.
To obtain the best performance from the battery
Do not place the cordless handset on the charger after each call. The battery works best if the cordless handset is returned to the charger after two or three calls. However, do not leave the cordless handset off the charger for a long period of time as this will completely discharge the battery pack.

Notes
• When making a call on the cordless handset, “ ” appears on the display
indicating the receiver sensitivity with the base phone. Three bars indicate a good reception, no bar indicates a bad reception. When calling from an area with poor reception, you may experience interference or the call may be disconnected, so try to use the cordless handset in areas that have a good reception.
• When you increase the sound volume, in some cases the back ground noise
may be increased as well. You should adjust the volume accordingly.
• If the cordless handset beeps every second during a conversation and “ ”
appears on the display, move closer to the base phone; otherwise, you will hear five short error beeps and “NO CONNECTION” will appear on the display, and the call will be disconnected after 30 seconds.
• While talking with an outside caller via the base phone, you cannot make a
call with the cordless handset. If you press (TALK), “NO CONNECTION” appears on the display and you will hear five short error beeps.
• When the talk time exceeds 9:59:59, the display counts from 0:00:00 again.
If the battery becomes weak during a call

For optimum performance, charge the battery for a full 12 hours.
Note that during the initial charge time (approx. 10 minutes), “PLEASE WAIT...” and “BATTERY LOW” appear on the display and the cordless handset cannot be used.
After “BATTERY LOW” turns off, you may be able to use the cordless handset, but the battery duration will be very short; thus it is recommended that you fully charge the battery before next use.

Caller ID Features

Understanding the Caller ID service

Caller ID allows the caller’s phone number to be shown on the display before you answer the call. In order to use this feature, you must first subscribe to Caller ID service. The name of this service may vary depending on your telephone company.
To use this feature, be sure to enter the area code (see page 17).

When you receive a call

The phone number appears on the display as shown in the following example.
If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service or if the phone number stored in the Phone Directory matches with the Caller ID data phone number, the caller’s name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters). The caller’s name will appear by the name stored in the Phone Directory if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored in the Phone Directory.
Caller’s name Caller’s phone number
When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the “TALK” or “SPEAKERPHONE” display.
Notes
• The caller’s phone number and/or name will not appear in the following
cases: —“UNKNOWN NUMBER/NAME/CALLER” (out of area) : when the call is
made through a telephone company which does not offer Caller ID service (including international calls).
—“BLOCKED NUMBER/NAME/CALL” (private) : when the call is
“blocked”. For privacy reasons, many states allow callers the option to prevent his or her telephone data from being displayed on the other party’s Caller ID display.
• If the call is from an office which uses multiple lines, the displayed phone
number may not match the number you use to call the extension.

About the memory match function
The name stored in the Phone Directory will appear on the display and the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the second ring if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored in the Phone Directory on the base phone or the cordless handset (see page 43).
Note
The memory match function does not work with “UNKNOWN NUMBER/ NAME/CALLER” or “BLOCKED NUMBER/NAME/CALL” calls; and it may not work with calls made from an office which uses multiple lines because the number does not always match the one you stored in this phone.

This is a new service that combines the two services.
Even though you now have a “Caller ID with call waiting” compatible phone, unless you subscribe to the combined “Caller ID with call waiting” service, you will not be able to see the name and number of the second caller.
When a new call comes in while you are talking, the caller’s name and/or phone number of the new call appears on the display for about 20 seconds.
