About caller ID information

If you subscibe to caller ID service from your local telephone company, this feature displays the name and telephone number of the caller before answering a call (even when you are on another call). The caller ID features of this product will work only if you subscribe to caller ID service and both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

Contact your local 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 subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try them.

There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas.

This product can be used without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service, although the caller ID features of this product will not function.

Problem Suggestion

My telephone does not work at all.

LOW BATTERY is displayed on screen.

• Make sure the battery is installed and charged correc tly (page 2). For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the telephone base or charger after use.

• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

•

Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged rmly into the telephone base and the wall jack.

• Unplug the unit’s electrical power. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base to synchronize.

• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours.

• Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to purchase a new battery.

• Disconnect the telephone base from the jack and plug in a working telephone. If this telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the local service. Call the local telephone company.

• Place the handset in the telephone base or charger for recharging.

• Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally until fully discharged, then recharge the handset on the telephone base or charger for 16 hours.

• If the above measures do not correct the problem, the battery may need to be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Problem Suggestion

The battery does not charge in the handset or the handset battery does not accept charge.

The CHARGE light is off.

FCC, ACTA and IC regulations

FCC Part 15

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a Class B digital device under Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These requirements are intended 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.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

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

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

•

Changes or modications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according to the intended usage of the product.
