Installation
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not
controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat
surface or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 8). For optimum range
and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open
location.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL)
through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see the following page). The
filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference.
Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL
filters.
Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the handset or
telephone base display - remove it before use.

Use this feature when the telephone indicates there is new voicemail but
there is none. For example, when you have accessed your voicemail while
away from home. This feature only turns off the displayed NEW VOICEMAIL

If you dial seven digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter
your area code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive
a call from within your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the

This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID log. If you

feature. If you do, you cannot place calls from you caller ID log as they have
only seven digits.

menu.
2. Use TCID or DIRS to scroll to >HOME AREA CODE,
then press
