Caller ID Service
12 For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/consumersupport
Using Caller ID service
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features, you must subscribe to
your telephone company’s Caller ID
service.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, the
calling party’s name and telephone
number will be displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 different
callers will be logged in the caller list,
allowing you to return missed calls. Caller
information is stored by the most recent
call to the oldest.
LWhile listening to a message recorded
by the answering system, using the
handset, you can call back the caller
without having to dial the phone number.
LIf the unit cannot receive caller
information, the following will be
displayed:
“Out of area”: The caller dialed from
an area which does not provide Caller ID
service.
“Private caller”: The caller
requested not to send caller information.
“Long distance”: The caller called
you long distance.
LIf the unit is connected to a PBX system,
caller information may not be received
properly. Consult your PBX supplier.
Talking Caller ID
This feature allows you to know who is
calling without looking at the display. When
a call comes in, the handset and base unit
will announce the caller’s name displayed
on the handset following every ring.
To use this feature, you must subscribe to
your telephone company’s Caller ID
service.
LName pronunciation may vary. This
feature may not pronounce all names
correctly.
LCaller ID supports names of up to 15
letters. If the caller’s name has more
than 15 letters, the name will not be
displayed or announced correctly.
LUsually the unit will announce the
caller’s name after the 2nd ring. If you
turn on the answering system, and set
the ring count to “2”, the unit will not
announce the caller’s name. If “Toll
saver” is selected, and there is a new
message, the unit will not announce the
caller’s name.

FCC and other information
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.
