Using Caller ID, Call Waiting, and Redial Lists
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company, your phone will show you the caller’s phone number
and name (if available) whenever a call comes in. If you subscribe to Caller ID on Call Waiting, the phone will also
show you the name and the number of any call that comes in while you’re on the line.
Using the Caller ID List
You can store up to thirty Caller ID numbers in each handset. Caller ID records are
stored from newest to oldest. Once your Caller ID list is full, the oldest record will be
automatically deleted when a new call is received. When you have new Caller ID
records [ ] icon appears on the display.
To open the Caller ID list, press [] (on the right side of the four-way key). The
phone will show the number of new Caller ID records (that is, records you have not
reviewed yet) and the total number of stored records. Use [] and [ ] to scroll
through the list. (New records have an asterisk next to the received time.)
Making a Call from a Caller ID Record
With the phone in standby, press [ ] to open the Caller ID list.
Use [ ] and [ ] to fi nd the Caller ID record you want to dial.
If you need to add (or delete) a “1” to the beginning of the displayed phone number, press [
*
/tone].
Press [/fl ash] or [ ] to dial the number.
Note: You can also press [ /fl ash] or [ ] before you open the caller ID list. Find the phone number you want to
dial, and then press [Select/menu].
What’s this “add or delete a 1” about?
Any phone number in the Caller ID records might (or might not!) have a “1” at the front, depending on how
different phone companies send the Caller ID information.
The phone dials the number exactly as it appears in the Caller ID record.

Using Caller ID, Call
Waiting, and Redial Lists
If the phone number is a long distance or toll call, but the Caller ID record does not have a “1” in front of the
number, press [
*
/tone] to add it. If the phone number is a local or non-toll call, but the Caller ID record has a “1”
in front of the number, press [
*
/tone] to delete it.
Seven-digit dialing
If you can make a local call by dialing only seven digits instead of ten, you can tell the phone to hide your local area
code in the Caller ID list; any calls from outside your area code will show all ten digits. This setting applies to the
base and all handsets currently connected to the same base.
To program your local area code:
Press [Select/menu].
Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the AREA CODE submenu.
Use the number keypad ([0] through [9]) to enter a three-digit area code. If an area code has already been
stored, it appears in the display. Press [Int’com/clear] to delete the stored code, and then enter a new one.
Press [Select/menu]. You will hear a confi rmation tone.
Note: If you have multiple bases, select the base before programming the area code (see page 14).
The phone uses the stored area code as a fi lter. When a call comes in, the phone compares the incoming area
code to the code programmed on the phone. If the two codes match, the handset hides the area code in the
Caller ID list.
When you are reviewing the Caller ID list, you can show the hidden area code by pressing [#]. Press [#] again to
hide the area code.
When you dial from a Caller ID record or store a Caller ID record in the phonebook, the phone dials or stores the
digits exactly as they appear on the display. If you need to use ten digits, be sure to press [#] to show the area
code before you dial or store the number. (See page 26 to store a Caller ID record in the phonebook.)
Deleting Caller ID Numbers
To delete only one Caller ID number, press [ ] when the phone is in standby, and then fi nd the number you want to
delete. Press [Select/menu] and select DELETE ENTRY. When the phone asks you to confi rm, select YES.
To delete all the Caller ID numbers, press [] when the phone is in standby, and then press [Select/menu]. When

sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equipment.
If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, contact
your telephone company or a qualifi ed installer.
Radio interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and
humming in your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the
base. This interference is caused by external sources such
as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fl uorescent lighting, or
electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises
continue and are too distracting, please check around your
home to see what appliances may be causing the problem.
In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged
into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of
the potential for interference. In the unlikely event that you
consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on
your phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another
cordless telephone or other source of interference.
Finally, it should be noted that 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, moving the
cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often
reduce or eliminate the interference.
Cordless telephone privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications
between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are
accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast
over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical
properties of radio waves, your communications can be
received by radio receiving devices other than your own
cordless telephone unit. Consequently, any communications
using your cordless telephone may not be private.
