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.

•

www.vtechphones.com

Telephone operation

Call log

If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller will be displayed

after the rst or second ring.

The call log can store up to 30 entries. When the call log is full, the earliest entry will be deleted to make room for new

incoming call information. CID EMPTY will be displayed if there is no record in the call log.

•

If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be stored in the call log.

The time on the handset screen is automatically set and updated with incoming caller ID information if you subscribe to this service.

Due to regional service differences, the caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. In addition, the callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic par ts, so it must be treated with care.

Avoid rough treatment

Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to elec tronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.

Cleaning your telephone

Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in the water. If the telephone base should fall into the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Appendix

About cordless telephones

Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and

the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.

Electrical Power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.

Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will of ten reduce or eliminate the interference.

Rechargeable batteries: This product contains either nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The bat tery or conduc tor may overheat and cause harm. Obser ve proper polarity between the bat tery and the battery charger.

Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the bat tery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
