About caller ID
The caller ID with call waiting feature in this telephone lets you see the name
and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even while you
are on a call. These features require services provided by your local telephone
company.
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, or
you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try
•
them.
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use its
other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with
call waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and they may not be
available in all areas.
The caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering
caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

About cordless telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitte d between the telephone base and
•
the cordle ss handset by radio waves, so there is a possibilit y that the cordless telephone conver sations could be intercepted by radio receivin g equipment within
range of t he cord less han dset. For this rea son, you should not think of c ordless telephone conversations as be ing as pri vate as tho se on cor ded telephone s.
Elect rical Powe r: The telepho ne base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The elec trical outlet shoul d not be controlle d
•
by a wall swit ch. Call s cannot b e made fro m the cor dless handset i f the tele phone base is unp lugge d or switched off, or if the ele ctrical power i s interrupted.
Potent ial T V interferenc e: So me cordless telephones oper ate at freque ncies that may cause interference to televisio ns an d VCRs. To minimize or prevent
•
such inter feren ce, do not place the telephon e base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If inter ference is experienced, mov ing the cord less
telephone far ther away from the TV or VCR will of ten redu ce or eli minate th e interference.
Recha rgeable ba tteries: Th is pro duct c ontains either nic kel-c admium or nic kel-metal-hydride rechargeabl e batteries. Exerci se car e in handling batter ies in
•
order not to create a short circu it with cond uctin g material suc h as rings, brac elets, and keys. The batter y or conduc tor may overheat and cause harm. Obs erve
proper p olarit y between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel -cadmium recha rgeable bat teri es: Dis pose of these b atteri es in a s afe mann er. Do not bu rn or puncture the bat tery. Like other batteries of thi s type,
