Caller ID number auto edit feature
Once you call back an edited number, the unit
which was used to call back remembers the
area code and format of the edited number.
The next time someone calls from the same
area code, caller information is customized by
the unit as follows:
– When the call is being received, the Caller
ID number is displayed in the same format
as the edited number.
– After the call has ended, the caller’s phone
number is displayed in the same format as
the edited number, when reviewed from the
caller list.
For example, you can use this feature to set
the unit to ignore the area code of callers in
your area, so that you can call these local
numbers using caller information without
dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an entry
in the caller list, then call that number. After
that, phone numbers from that caller’s area
code are edited automatically.
This feature can be set for each unit
(page 31). The default setting is “On”.

edited area codes are automatically edited.

The unit does not record new
messages.
RThe answering system is turned off. Turn it on (page 39).
RThe message memory is full. Erase unnecessary
messages (page 40).
RThe recording time is set to “Greeting only”. Change
the setting (page 44).
RYour service provider/telephone company’s voice mail
service may be answering your calls before the unit’s
answering system can answer your calls. Change the
unit’s number of rings setting (page 44) to a lower value,
or contact your service provider/telephone company.
I cannot operate the answering
system remotely.
RThe remote access code is not set. Set the remote
access code (page 43).
RYou are entering the wrong remote access code. If you
have forgotten your remote access code, enter the
remote access code setting to check your current code
(page 43).
RThe answering system is turned off. Turn it on (page 43).
The unit does not emit the
specified number of rings.
RIf the first ring is turned off, the number of rings decreases
by 1 from the specified number of rings.
Voice mail
Problem Cause/solution
“Voice mail msg. via
phone co.” is shown on the
handset display. How do I
remove this message from the
display?
RThis notification is displayed when your service provider/
telephone company’s voice mail service (not the unit’s
answering system) has recorded a message for you.
Typically you can remove this notification from the display
by listening to the message. To listen to the message, dial
the voice mail number provided by your service provider/
telephone company (for most cases, this will be your own
phone number), and follow the voice instructions.
Depending on your service provider/telephone company,
you may need to remove all messages from your voice
mailbox to remove the notification. You can also remove
this notification by pressing and holding # until the unit
beeps.

FCC and other information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the
FCC rules and the requirements adopted by
the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment
is a label that contains, among other
information, a product identifier in the
format US:ACJ----------.
If requested, this number must be provided
to the telephone company.
L Registration No.............(found on the
bottom of the unit)
L Ringer Equivalence No. (REN).......0.1B
A plug and jack used to connect this
equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the
applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A
compliant telephone cord and modular plug
is provided with the product. It is designed
to be connected to a compatible modular
jack that is also compliant.
The REN is used to determine the number
of devices that may be connected to a
telephone line. Excessive RENs on a
telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In
most but not all areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain
of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the
total RENs, contact the local telephone
company. For products approved after July
23, 2001, the REN for the product is part of
the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits
represented by ## are the REN without a
decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
If this equipment causes harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company
will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required.
But if advance notice isn't practical, the
telephone company will notify the customer
as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with
the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes
in its facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures that could affect the operation of
the equipment. If this happens the
telephone company will provide advance
notice in order for you to make necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted
service.
If trouble is experienced with this
equipment, for repair or warranty
information, please contact a Factory
Service Center or other Authorized Servicer.
If the equipment is causing harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company
may request that you disconnect the
equipment until the problem is resolved.
Connection to party line service is subject to
state tariffs. Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission or
corporation commission for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone line,
ensure the installation of this equipment
does not disable your alarm equipment. If
you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible as
defined by the FCC in 47 CFR Section
68.316.
When you hold the phone to your ear, noise
might be heard in your Hearing Aid. Some
Hearing Aids are not adequately shielded
from external RF (radio frequency) energy. If
noise occurs, use an optional headset
accessory or the speakerphone option (if
applicable) when using this phone. Consult

WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY
NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST
CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS:
1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to
the dispatcher the reason for the call.
2) Perform such activities in the off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late
evenings.
This device complies with 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
operation.
Privacy of communications may not be
ensured when using this phone.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate this device.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or
prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR. If
interference is experienced, move the
cordless telephone further away from the TV
or VCR. This will often reduce or eliminate
interference.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
L This product complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.
L To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, the base unit must be
installed and operated 20 cm (8 inches)
or more between the product and all
person’s body.
L This product may not be collocated or
operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
L The handset may be carried and operated
with only the specific provided belt-clip.
Other non-tested belt-clips or similar
body-worn accessories may not comply
and must be avoided.
Notice:
L FCC ID can be found inside the battery
compartment or on the bottom of the
units.
