Verizon V300AM – more than just a telephone
V300AM / USA EN / A31008-xxxxx-xxxx-x-6019 / starting.fm / 3.1.08
Verizon V300AM –
more than just a telephone
Your phone not only enables you to store
up to 150 telephone numbers (page 15) –
it can do a whole lot more:
uYou can designate important people as
VIPs so you can identify important calls
from the ringtone (page 15).
uYou can store anniversary dates
(page 16) in your phone and it will
remind you of them in advance.
uSelect frequently used phone numbers
at the press of a single key (page 15).
uView missed calls on your phone
(page 18).
uSelect 12 or 24-hour format for dis-
playing the time (page 10).
uECO DECT reduces power consumption
by using a power supply with low
power consumption. Your handset
reduces the transmitting power
depending on the distance to the base
station (close-up range).
Have fun using your new telephone!

Using a handset as a room
monitor
If the room monitor is activated, a previ-
ously stored destination number is called
as soon as a set noise level is reached. You
can store an internal or external number
in your handset as the destination
number.
The room monitor call to an external
number stops after approx. 90 seconds.
The room monitor call to an internal
number (handset) stops after approx.
3 minutes (depending on the base sta-
tion). While the room monitor is activated,
all keys are locked except the end call key.
The handset's speaker is muted.
When the room monitor is activated,
incoming calls to the handset are indi-
cated without a ringtone and are only
shown on the screen. The display and key-
pad are not illuminated and advisory
tones are also turned off.
If you accept an incoming call, the room
monitor mode is suspended for the dura-
tion of the call, but the function remains
activated.
If you switch off the handset, the room
monitor mode is deactivated. You will
need to reactivate the function after
switching on the handset again.
Caution:
You should always check the operation
of the room monitor before use. For
example, test its sensitivity. Check the
connection if you are diverting the room
monitor to an outside number.
When the function is switched on the hand-
set's operating time is severely reduced. If
necessary, place the handset in the base.
This ensures that the batteries do not run
down.
Ideally the handset should be positioned
1 to 2 meters away from the sound being
monitored. The microphone must be
directed towards the monitored sound.
The connection to which the room monitor
is diverted must not be blocked by an acti-
vated answer machine.

consult your telephone company or a qualified
installer.
This telephone system equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired opera-
tion. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. Some cordless
telephones operate at frequencies that may
cause interference to nearby TV’s and VCR’s;
to minimize or prevent such interference, the
system base should not be placed near or on
top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is expe-
rienced, moving the base farther away from
the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate
the interference.
However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation.
If this telephone system does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the system
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the base
station and receiver.
3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio
TV technician for help.

Notes on the operating instructions
V300AM / USA EN / A31008-xxxxx-xxxx-x-6019 / appendix.fm / 3.1.08
Entering special characters
You can call up the table of special charac-
ters using the * key. Select the
required character and insert it with §Insert§.
Order of directory entries
Directory entries are usually sorted in
alphabetical order. Spaces and digits take
first priority. The sort order is as follows:
1. Space
2. Digits (0–9)
3. Letters (alphabetical)
4. Other characters
To get around the alphabetical ordering of
the entries, insert a space or a digit in
front of the name. These entries will then
move to the beginning of the directory.
Names which you have preceded with an
asterisk will move to the end of the direc-
tory.
