service provider for more information about DSL lters.

Follow the steps below to install the telephone.

Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the handset jack on the left side of the telephone base. Plug the other end into the handset and hang up.

About caller ID

This telephone has a caller ID feature that works with the caller identication service provided by your telephone service provider. There is a fee for this service, and it might not be available in all areas. This telephone can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller

identication service, and if both telephone service providers use compatible

equipment.

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the call, even when you’re on another call.

You may need 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 combined service).

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

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

You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use this telephone’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting services.

About home area code and local area codes

Always set your home area code, and if you need them, up to four local area codes (see Set home area code on page 17 and Set local area code on page 18). Entering these area codes affects how numbers are displayed in the call history and makes returning a call from the call history easier (see To return a call on page 39).

•

Caller ID operation

How caller ID works

If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service

provider, information about each caller is displayed between the rst and

second ring.

The time and date of the call, the caller’s name and telephone number are included on the screen if they were sent by the caller’s telephone service provider. Due to regional service differences, the caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. In addition, the callers might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. Other messages might appear on the screen. Refer to Caller ID messages on page 37 for more information.

Caller ID information appears on the screen as long as the telephone rings, for 30 seconds after the caller hangs up, or after the call is answered at another telephone on the same line.

If you select COMBINED in REPEATED CALLS (see Feature summary on page 13) and a caller has called more than once, the REP icon appears with the caller ID entry.

The call is missed and unreviewed.

information about this caller’s name.

UUU Your telephone service provider is unable to receive

information about this caller’s number.

UNKNOWN CALLER Your telephone service provider is unable to receive

information about this caller’s name and number.

Memory match

If the incoming telephone number is an exact match with a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory.

For example, if Elizabeth Jones calls, her name appears as ELIZABETH if this is how you entered it into your directory.

How call history works

Information about the last 65 incoming calls is stored in the call history. The most recent call has the highest entry number. (For example, if two calls have been received, the call with the entry number 02 in the call history is the more

recent one.) You can review the call history to nd out who has called, return

the call, save the caller’s name and number into the directory, or save the caller’s number into one-touch or speed dial memory locations.

When the call history is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new incoming call information.

If a call is answered before the information appears on the screen, it is not saved in the call history.

If you choose NO CALLS in CALL LOG (see Feature summary on page 13), the telephone does not store the caller ID information in the call history.

To review call history

Use the following steps to review the call history.

When the telephone is idle, press CID/ or CID/ to enter the call history.

If you select NEW CALL FIRST in CALL LIST ORDER (see Feature summary on page 13), press CID/ repeatedly to show the new calls. Once the new calls have been reviewed, all caller ID entries are in chronological order.

-OR- If you select BY TIME in CALL LIST ORDER (see Feature summary on page 13), the screen shows the caller ID entries in chronological order starting with the most recent call. Press CID/ or CID/ to scroll through the caller ID entries.

Press FLASH to exit and return to idle mode.

If you try to review call history entries when there are no entries, the telephone shows CALL LOG EMPTY and you will hear an error tone.

If you scroll to the end of the call history, the screen shows END OF LIST and you will hear an error tone.

Troubleshooting

If you have difculty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.

For Customer Service, visit our website at www.vtechcanada.com, or call 1 (800) 267-7377.

My telephone appears to be dead.

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

Unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the telephone to synchronize.

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

There is no dial tone.

First, try all suggestions in My telephone appears to be dead on this page.

The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord.

Make sure the coiled handset cord is securely installed between the handset and the telephone base.

Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and connect a different telephone. If there is no dial tone on that telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).

I cannot dial out.

First, try all suggestions in There is no dial tone on this page.

Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal for the telephone to take a second or two before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.

Check that all the telephones connected to the same telephone line are hung up.

Make sure to set the DIAL TYPE to the correct setting (pulse dialing or tone dialing) for the service in your area (see Feature summary on page

13).

•

Appendix

If any of your other telephones are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).

If you are using the speakerphone, eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances might cause the telephone to

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

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

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

Make sure the ringer is on (see Ringer volume on page 22).

Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in properly (see Telephone installation on page 5).

There might be too many extension telephones on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging one telephone at a time until the telephones start ringing.

Test a working telephone at the same telephone jack. If another telephone has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone jack. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).

The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord.

My calls fade out or cut in and out when I am using the telephone.

If you are using the handset when this problem occurs, try unplugging the

coiled handset cord and rmly plugging it in the handset and telephone

base again.

If you are using the speakerphone when this problem occurs, eliminate any background noise. Noise from the television, radio, or other appliances might cause the speakerphone to cut in and out. Try pressing MUTE when you are not speaking or eliminating the background noise.

Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in another corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).

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

- DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL lter between

the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see Telephone installation on page 5). The lter prevents noise and caller ID problems

caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for

more information about DSL lters.
