About the directory

Shared directory

The directory is shared by all handsets. Changes made to the directory from any device apply to all.

NOTE: Only one handset can review the directory at a time. If another device tries to enter the directory, the screen shows Not available at this time.

Capacity

The directory can store up to 50 entries, with a maximum of 15 alphanumeric characters (including spaces) for names and 30 digits for telephone numbers. A convenient search feature can help you find and dial numbers quickly (pag 51).

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 may 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 may 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 may not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. You can only view a maximum of 15 digits of every caller ID log entry. To view caller ID log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 63).

NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

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. 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 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 log.

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 is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.

All new and missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW on the 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

log, you can press and hold

OFF/CANCEL for four

seconds when the handset is idle. You will hear a confirmation tone. All the entries in the caller ID log become old (reviewed already), and the missed calls message goes away.

Memory match

If the incoming telephone number matches the last 7 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 tendigit 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.

Answering system and voicemail indicators

Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those left on its built-in digital answering system and those left at your telephone service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in digital answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.

handset, your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.

Some telephone service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone service provider.

To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn off the answering system. To use the 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 counter.

About the answering system

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. If you are on a call, or 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 three minutes, and the maximum recording time is approximately 22 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 shows 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. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn

the answering system back on if it has been turned off, nor can you 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 on your handsets, message playback, remote access and recording outgoing announcements. The system also provide basic answering system setup via voice guide to record your own announcement, set the number of rings, and set the message alert tone.
