About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service providers. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number that are sent by your telephone

service provider after the rst or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the

name, number, date and time of calls.

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.

•

Telephone operation

Call log

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

after the rst or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller information

appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.

The call log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the

phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the phone number has

more than 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has more

than 15 characters, only the rst 15 characters are shown and saved in the

call log.

You can review, redial and copy an entry into the directory.

Entries appear in reverse chronological order.

When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to

make room for new incoming call information.

XX Missed call(s) displays when there are new call log

entries that have not been reviewed.

Call log empty displays when there are no records in

the call log.

Only one handset can review the call log at a time. If a

handset tries to enter the call log while another handset

is already in it, Not available at this time appears.

The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

For call log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, in order to view the entire number, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 45).

If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the call log.

•

The number you see on your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the last seven digits of the incoming telephone number does not match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.

Memory match

If the last seven digits of the incoming telephone number is an exact match with a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory.

For example, if Elizabeth Jones calls, her name appears as Liz if this is how you entered it into your directory.

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your service provider’s voicemail. Your telephone’s built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.

If and New voicemail display on the handsets, your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.

If and XX New messages display on the handsets and the message

window on the telephone base ashes, there are new messages in the

built-in answering system. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 52), or press MENU/SELECT twice on the handset (page 53).

Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone service provider.

To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail service. You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.

Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.

Message capacity

The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

My telephone does not work at all.

Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (pages 5-6). For optimum

daily performance, return the handset to the telephone base or charger after use.

Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a

wall switch.

Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged rmly into the telephone base and the

telephone wall jack.

Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 15

seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and

telephone base to synchronize.

Charge the battery in the handset for up to 16 hours.

If the battery is completely depleted, it may take up to 30 minutes to charge the

handset before Low battery appears on the screen (page 6).

Completely remove and install the battery again. If that still does not work, it may be

necessary to purchase a new battery.

Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can cause

interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away as

possible from these types of electronic devices.

Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working

telephone. If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring

or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.

There is no dial tone.

First, try all the above suggestions.

Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range.

The telephone line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.

Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and connect a different

telephone. If there is no dial tone on this telephone either, the problem is in your

wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.

I cannot dial out from my cordless handset.

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 before producing a dial tone. Wait

an extra second before dialing.

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

wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider.

Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or dial

from another room in your home with less background noise.

Important safety instructions

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to

reduce the risk of re, electric shock and injury, including the following:

Read and understand all instructions. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use this product near water such as near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub

or swimming pool, or in a wet basement or shower. Do not place this product on an unstable table, shelf, stand or other unstable surfaces. Slots and openings in the back or bottom of the telephone base and handset are provided for

ventilation. To protect them from overheating, these openings must not be blocked by placing the product on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or rug. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in any area where proper ventilation is not provided.

This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking

label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply in your home or ofce, consult your dealer

or local power company. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product where the cord may

be walked on. Never push objects of any kind into this product through the slots in the telephone base, handset

and headset because they may touch dangerous voltage points or create a short circuit. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to an authorized service facility. Opening or removing parts of the telephone base, handset or headset other

than specied access doors may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect

reassembling can cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to an authorized service facility under

the following conditions:

When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed. If liquid has been spilled onto the product. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operation instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and often requires extensive work by an authorized technician to restore the product to normal operation. If the product has been dropped and the telephone base, handset and/or headset has been damaged.

If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or when the headset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing

concentrations of ammable or ame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a re or explosion. Such environments might include:

medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.

Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.

The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or oor mount position. The

prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

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. Supported 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 headset, handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the telephone base, handset, headset, 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. When the headset is out of range, the headset earpiece rapidly beeps three times every 10 seconds. If there is a call while the handset or headset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call

may not connect well when you press /FLASH on the handset or on the headset. Move closer to the telephone base, then press /FLASH on the handset or on the headset to answer the call.

If the handset or headset 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 and headset 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 and/or headset 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. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.

Nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.

FCC, ACTA and IC regulations

FCC Part 15

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a Class B digital device under Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These requirements are intended to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone.

To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according to the intended usage of the product. This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC criteria. The handset and/or headset may be safely held against the ear of the user. The telephone base shall be installed and used such that parts of the user’s body other than the hands are maintained at a distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches) or more.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

FCC Part 68 and ACTA

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and with technical requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). The label on the back or bottom of this

equipment contains, among other things, a product identier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. This identier must be provided to your telephone service provider upon request.

The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to premises wiring and the telephone network must comply with applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines. See Installation Instructions in the user’s manual.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. The REN for this product is

encoded as the 6th and 7th characters following the US: in the product identier (e.g., if ## is 03, the REN is 0.3). In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be ve (5.0) or less. For more

information, please contact your telephone service provider.

This equipment may not be used with Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment,

consult your telephone service provider or a qualied installer.
