Operation
During battery backup mode, the telephone base and answering system will
be disabled. The operating time is subject to the battery level of the handset
placed in the telephone base and the actual usage. For optimal performance,
you are not recommended to use the handset placed in the telephone base
when this mode is on.
Using other system handsets (Recommended):
Operate the handsets the same way as usual, except the answering system
which will be disabled.
Using the handset placed in the telephone base:
To maximize the operating time, you are not advised to use this handset. If
you do have to use it, make sure you do not lift it from the telephone base.
All operations should be done with the handset placed in the telephone base.
In this case, calls can only be made and received using the speakerphone.

Installation options
Your telephone base is ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your
telephone on a wall, follow the steps on this page to connect the telephone
base with a standard dual-stud telephone wall-mounting plate. You may need
a professional to install the mounting plate.
Tabletop to wall-mount installation
1. Plug the power cord and telephone line into the telephone base. If you
are using a DSL filter, plug the other end of the telephone line into the
filter. Route the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) through the wall-mount
bracket hole.
2. Position the telephone base, as shown below. Insert the extended tabs
(marked B in the following illustration) of the wall-mount bracket into the
slots on the back of the telephone base. Push the telephone base down
until it is securely in place.
3. Plug the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) into the wall jack. Plug the
power adapter into a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
4. Align the holes on the wall-mount bracket with the standard wall plate
and slide the wall-mount bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the
telephone line cord and power adapter cord neatly with twist ties.

Caller ID
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 available caller ID information will appear after the first 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 call,
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 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
Caller ID history
How the caller ID history (caller ID 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 the telephone base and all handsets,
so changes made using any handset or the telephone base are reflected
in all other devices. If you answer a call before the information appears on
the screen, it does not show in the caller ID log.
NOTE: Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for
the name.
Missed (new) call indicator
When a handset or the telephone base is in idle mode and
has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.
All new and missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each
time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW
on the screen), the number of missed calls decreases by one.
If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one,
but still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you
can press and hold
OFF/CANCEL on the handset for
four seconds when the handset is idle, or press and hold
CANCEL on the telephone base for four seconds when
the telephone base is idle. You will hear a confirmation
tone. All the entries in the caller ID history become old
(reviewed already), and the missed calls message
goes away.

Memory match
If the incoming telephone number matches the last 7 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 Christine Smith calls, her name appears as
Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number shown in the caller ID log will be in the format
sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service
provider usually delivers ten-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.

Number of rings
You can set the answering system to answer an incoming call after two, three,
four, five or six rings. You can also select toll saver. If toll saver is selected, the
answering system answers a call after two rings when you have new messages,
and after four rings when there are no new messages. This feature allows you
to check for new messages and avoid paying long distance charges when
calling from out of your local area. By default, the answering system answers
an incoming call after four rings.

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

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

About the answering system
Using the answering machine and voicemail together
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. If you are on a call, or the
answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call,
the second caller can leave a voicemail message.
Set the 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 the 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 up to 99 messages, depending on the
length of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes,
and the maximum recording time is approximately 22 minutes. The actual
recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages
remain available for replay until you delete them.
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system,
the number of messages stored shows in the message counter.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time
left, it announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message
playback at the handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low displays on
the device screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at
the telephone base, it announces, “Calls will be answered. Less than three
minutes to record.”
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full,”
before message playback. The device screen displays Rec mem full in idle
mode. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering system back
on if it has been turned off, nor can you record new messages until old
ones have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on the
answering system on the handset but there is no memory.
