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 when already on a call. These features require services provided by your local telephone service provider.

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, or

•

you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try

•

these services.

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 these services 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.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

I cannot dial out.

First, try all the above suggestions.

• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a second

• or two to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.

Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial type (pulse dial or tone dial) for the

• service in your area. See Dial mode on page 8 to set the dial type.

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, contact your local

• telephone service provider (charges may apply).

Eliminate any background noise. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, rst try

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

There is noise or interference during a telephone conversation. My calls cut in and out when I am using the cordless handset.

The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.

• Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the

• telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet.

Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try

If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone

• (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesn’t solve the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.

The layout of your home or ofce might be limiting the operating range. Try moving

• the telephone base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception.

Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and plug in a corded

• telephone. If calls are still not clear, contact the local telephone service provider (charges may apply).

If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, contact the local

• telephone service provider (charges may apply).

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through

•

your telephone lines, you must install a DSL lter between the telephone base and

the telephone wall jack to prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about

• it does not respond, try the following (in the order listed):

Disconnect the power to the telephone base.

• Disconnect the battery on the handset.

• Wait a few minutes before connecting the power to the telephone base.

• Re-install the batter y and place the handset in the telephone base.

• Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute

• for this to take place.

Appendix

Operating range

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance, which can vary with the

locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or ofce.

When the handset is out of range, the handset will display CONNECTING... If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when

you press . Move closer to the telephone base, then press to answer the call.

If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.
