About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. Some names and numbers may not show because they are not available or blocked by the caller. The caller ID information shows after

the rst or second ring.

Information about caller ID with call waiting

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.

It may be necessary 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 to combine these services). You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.

•

You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.

•

There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.

This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by your telephone service provider along with the call information.

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

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones): Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a

multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Suppor ted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.

•

Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast

•

pocket, when it is turned ON. Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.

•

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.

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 displays Out of range or no pwr at base.

If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call may not connect well when you press /FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press /FLASH to answer the call.

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

Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, 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 electronic 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 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 remove the telephone 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, 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 often reduces or eliminates the interference.

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 battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Obser ve proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.

Nickel -metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe

•

manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this t ype, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injur y.
