After the battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:

Operation Operating time

While in use (handset/headset) 7 hours

While in use (speakerphone) 2 hours

While in use (IM mode) 3 hours

While not in use (standby*) 96 hours

*Handset is off the charger but not in use.

The battery needs charging when:

Caller ID with call waiting

This product can be used with regular caller ID service, or this product’s other features can be used without subscribing to either caller ID service or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There are fees for caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas.

If you subscribe to caller ID service, you may see the caller’s number or the caller’s name and number. This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone company along with the call information.

This product is also compatible with caller ID with call waiting service which lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even when on another call.

It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your 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 have any caller ID or call waiting services.

Problem Suggestion

My telephone does not work at all.

Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (see pages 5 to 6). For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the handset charger after use.

Make sure the handset charger 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 handset

charger power adapter into the modular 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 handset charger from the modular 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.

•

Low battery icon is displayed on screen.

Place the handset in the handset charger for recharging. Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally until fully discharged, then recharge the

handset on the handset charger for 16 hours. If the above measures do not correct the problem, the battery may need to be replaced.

There is no dial tone. First, try all the above suggestions.

Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range. The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and connect a different telephone.

If there is no dial tone on that telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company.

•

The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.

Make sure the ringer is on. (See page 40 for handset). Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (see page 3). The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone

base. There may be too many extension phones on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring

simultaneously. Try unplugging some of them. If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring

or local service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply). Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your

telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.

I cannot dial out. First, try all the above suggestions.

Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the cordless handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances may cause

the telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, rst try

muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background noise.

There is noise or interference during a telephone conversation.

My calls fade out when I am using the cordless handset.

The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base

can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet. Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing

your telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appliances, wireless routers, and other cordless telephones.

Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone. It is normal to experience static on your telephone while the microwave oven is operating. Do not install this telephone in the same outlet or near a microwave oven.

If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.

The layout of your home or ofce might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone

base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception. Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls

are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).

Do you have DSL service? If yes, you need to have a DSL lter installed at every telephone jack that has a telephone connected to it. Contact your DSL service provider for lter information.
