You must install and
charge the battery before
using the telephone.
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not

Installation options
The telephone base comes with a mount bracket set for tabletop use. If you
want to mount your telephone on a wall, rotate the mount bracket down
so the telephone can connect with a standard dual-stud telephone wallmounting plate. If you do not have this mounting plate, you can purchase
one from many hardware or consumer electronics retailers. You might need a
professional to install the mounting plate.
Tabletop to wall-mount installation
To install the telephone base in the wall-mount position, make sure that you
first unplug the telephone line cord and power adapter from the telephone
wall jack and power outlet. Make sure they are plugged into their jacks on
the telephone base and routed through the channels.
1. Press the tabs indicated by the arrows. The bracket will detach from the
telephone base. Rotate it down into wall-mount position, making sure it
clicks into place.

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 information may not be
available for every incoming call. Callers
may intentionally block their names
and/or telephone numbers. You can
only view a maximum of 15 digits of

Caller ID
Caller ID log
How the 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 missed calls message goes away. When
there is a new unanswered call, the missed calls message
displays again. The number of missed calls includes all new
and missed entries that have not been reviewed.

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.

About the answering system
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.

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.

XX New messages shows and /PLAY/STOP flashes on
the telephone base, 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 88).

To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn off
the answering system. To use the answering system rather than your
voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate
your voicemail service.
NOTE: After reviewing all new messages, the number of old messages appears on the
message counter.
Using the answering system 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. 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 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 messages (including memos) on the
answering system, the total 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.
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup
procedures at the telephone base, message playback, remote access and
recording outgoing announcements.

When playback begins, the total number of messages is announced. Before
each message, you hear the day and time of the recording. If the date and
time are not set, you hear, “Time and date not set,” before playback. After
the last message, you hear, “End of messages.” If the recording time is less
