Important:
RBefore using this feature, we recommend
that you test this feature and adjust the
baby monitor sensitivity as needed,
especially if you plan to monitor from

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 34). The default setting is “On”.

provided by your phone company is set to 6
rings (call your service provider), the unit’s
answering system will record the incoming call

Useful Information
Voicemail
Problem Cause/solution
“Voicemail 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 phone service
provider’s voicemail 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
voicemail number provided by your phone service
provider (for most cases, this will be your own phone
number), and follow the voice instructions. Depending on
your phone service provider, 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.
Liquid damage
Problem Cause/solution
Liquid or other form of moisture
has entered the handset/base
unit.
RDisconnect the AC adaptor and telephone line cord from
the base unit. Remove the batteries from the handset and
leave to dry for at least 3 days. After the handset/base
unit are completely dry, reconnect the AC adaptor and
telephone line cord. Insert the batteries and charge fully
before use. If the unit does not work properly, contact an
authorized service center.
Caution:
RTo avoid permanent damage, do not use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process.

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.

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.

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.
