Caller ID

About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.

Information about caller ID with call waiting

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even while on another call.

It might be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:

•

You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you might need to combine these services).

•

You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.

•

You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.

There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.

This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment. The time and date, along with the call information, are from the telephone service provider.

Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

Caller ID

Caller ID history

How the caller ID history (caller ID log) works

The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to the telephone base and all handsets, so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other devices. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.

NOTE: Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.

Missed (new) call indicator

When a handset or the telephone base is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.

All new or missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a new call log entry (indicated by NEW on the handset screen), the number of missed calls decreases by one.

If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you can press and hold

OFF/CANCEL on your handset or CANCEL

on your telephone base for four seconds when the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history become old

Memory match

If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory.

For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.

NOTE: The number shown in the caller ID log will be in the format sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit phone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a number in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.

To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail service.

NOTE: After reviewing all new messages, the number of old messages appears on the message window.

Using the answering machine and voicemail together

You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.

Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.

About the answering system

Message capacity

The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and the maximum recording time is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system, the number of messages stored flashes in the message counter.

If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time left, it announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message playback at the handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low displays on the device screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at the telephone base, it announces, “Calls will be answered. Less than three

minutes to record.”

If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full,” before message playback. The device screen displays Rec mem full in idle mode and the number of messages and F flash alternately in the message counter at the telephone base. You cannot turn on the answering system and record new messages until old ones have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on the answering system on the handset but there is no memory.

Voice prompts

The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup procedures at the telephone base, message playback, remote access and recording outgoing announcements.

Call screening at the telephone base

If the answering system and call screening are on, the announcement and the incoming message broadcast at the telephone base when a call is answered at the telephone base.

You can turn call screening on or off using the handset (see page 67). When call screening is off, you can temporarily turn on call screening by pressing S/VOLUME on the telephone base. Call screening will be off for the next incoming call.

If call screening is on and you want to silence the telephone base while it is recording messages, press

• moved out of range.

If the previous suggestions do not work, disconnect the telephone base

• from the telephone jack and connect to a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.

Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.

•

I cannot dial out.

Try all the suggestions above.

• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless handset might

• take a second or two to find the telephone base and produce a dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.

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

• appliances might cause the phone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room with less background noise.

Troubleshooting

I get noise, static, or weak signals even when I’m near the telephone base.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber

• line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see page 6). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems as a result of DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

You may be able to improve the performance of your cordless phone

• by installing your new telephone base as far as possible from any other existing cordless telephone system that may already be installed.

Move your phone to a higher location. The phone might have better

• reception in a high area.

If other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your

• telephone service provider (charges may apply).
