Telephone installation

Install the telephone base and charger(s) as shown below.

The telephone base is already for tabletop use. If you want to change to wall mounting, see for details.

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 filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

If you have DSL high speed Internet service, a DSL filter (not included) is required.

Battery charging

Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the charger to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone base or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 58 for battery operating times.

If the screen is blank or displays Place in charger, you need to charge the handset without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset displays Low battery along with a flashing icon. If you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset plays short beeps to alert you.

The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.

About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. The

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 call, even while on another call.

It might 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 might need to combine these services).

•

You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.

•

You don’t 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, along with the call information, are from the telephone service provider.

Caller ID information might 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

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

Caller ID

How the caller ID history (call log) works

The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handsets and the base, so changes made using any handset QTVJGVGNGRJQPGDCUGCTGTGƀGEVGFKPCNN+H[QWCPUYGTCECNNDGHQTGVJG

information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.

Missed (new) calls indicator

When a cordless handset or the telephone base is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, the screen shows XX Missed call(s).

All new or missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a call log entry on a cordless handset with the icon NEW, or review a call log entry on the telephone base with the icon

If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but you still want to keep them in the caller ID history, when the cordless handset or the telephone base is idle, you can press and hold OFF/CANCEL for four seconds on a cordless handset, or press and hold CANCEL for four seconds on the telephone base. All the entries in the caller ID history become old (have been reviewed), and the missed calls message goes away.

Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.

Memory match

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

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

The number shown in the call log will be in the format sentby the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit phone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a number in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.
