About Caller Identification

Caller ID with Call Waiting features in this telephone let you see who’s calling before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company.

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

• You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.

You can use this phone 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.

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.

Telephone operating range

This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can only communicate over a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.

If there is a call while the handset is out of range, the handset might

not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press

PHONE. Move closer to the base, then

press PHONE to answer the call.

If the handset moves out of range during a phone conversation, there

may be interference on the line. To improve reception, move closer to the base.

If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left

off the hook. To hang up properly, walk back toward the telephone base, periodically pressing OFF until the call is disconnected.

Note: For better reception while on the line,

press CHAN/DEL button until all interference is eliminated.

See Caller ID, on page 20, for more details about how these features work.
