Telephone base installation

If you have a 2-line wall jack, install the telephone base as shown in Figure One: Installation with 2-line jack on below.

If you have separate wall jacks for each line, install the telephone base as shown in Figure Two: Installation with separate line jacks on page 3.

Make sure that the electrical outlet is not controlled by a wall switch. If you subscribe to digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed Internet service

through your telephone line, you must install a DSL lter between each telephone line cord and telephone wall jack. The lter prevents noise and

caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service

provider for more information about DSL lters.

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 the 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 associated with 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 the telephone service provider along with the call information.

Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view call log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 58).

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

Caller ID history

If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service

provider, 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 is not 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.

L1)X Missed and/or L2)X Missed displays when there are new call log

•

entries (including missed and unreviewed calls).

Call log empty shows when there are no records in the call log.

•

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

•

a handset tries to enter the call log while another handset or the telephone base is already in it, its screen shows Not available at this time.

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

Missed calls indicator

When there are unreviewed calls in the call log, the corresponding line message, shows on the handset and the telephone base.

Each time you review a call log entry marked NEW, the number of missed calls decreases by one.

When you have reviewed all the missed calls, the missed calls indicator no longer shows.

If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, press and hold OFF on the handset or CANCEL on the telephone base to erase the missed calls indicator. All the entries are then considered old and kept in the call log.

Memory match

When the incoming telephone number matches exactly a telephone number in your directory, the name on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory.

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

The number shown in the call log is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone ser vice provider. For example if the telephone service provider includes the area code but your directory number does not, the name appears as delivered by the telephone service provider.

Answering system operation

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 on your telephone service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.

If the 1 icon and a line number appear on the handset and telephone

• base, 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 the /MAILBOX LINE 1 or /MAILBOX LINE 2 button on the

•

telephone base ashes, your digital answering system has new messages for you. To listen to the messages, press the ashing mailbox button.

Some telephone 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.

You can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. 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 voicemanil message by following the instructions below.

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 of line 1 and line 2 can each record and store up to 99 messages. Each message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity of each telephone line 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.

If the telephone base should fall into the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS 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 shor t

•

circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the batter y and the bat tery 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 type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.

The RBRC® seal

The RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that V Tech Communications, Inc. is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful lives, when taken out of ser vice within the United States and Canada.
